Great minds think alike.
I agree, in fact I have three categories:
1. Structural, 2. Structural Content, and3. Content.
Once you've identified your structural relations, if you're going to properly
bootstrap this baby, then you next need to solve the Semantic Kernel problem:
i.e., what content relations are the core relations to include.

Subject: [agi] Structural Knoweldge

There is a lot of evidence that humans, like other animals, learn
incrementally. However, my belief is that because we use ideas in different
ways a new idea can interact with other ideas. There are moments when something
that is learned incrementally can be leveraged to produce leaps of insight. I
call this knowledge structural because it means that an idea can suddenly
provide some greater structure to knowledge related to a particular subject.
The new increment of knowledge that triggers the structural insight may or may
not be the key that provides the leverage of the structure. It may be that some
new piece of knowledge just helps to crystalize some structure in a way that
helps the learner to better utilize other knowledge.
In programming and computational mathematics we find distinctions between
things like operators and operands and you have to be able to find distinctions
between other different parts of a computation if you want to use mathematics
creatively. However, I think it is obvious that the situation is more dynamic
and more fluid in thought. Some information may play some role based on some
other information so that it can react with some other information and we just
cannot categorize how some piece of information might be used before hand. An
AGI program has to be able to find how information can work together to create
greater structures of knowledge. But for this to happen, the program has to be
designed to provide the structure that will ensure that the potential to build
learned structures is there.
