There is no limit at all for the expanses of human knowledge. Including that every single individual out of all the billions of people on Earth has some knowledge that nobody else has.

> It is generally understood that all the knowledge humanity currently possesses is finite and organized into distinct areas.

No, this is not generally understood, because it is not true.

You will go insane if you try to classify or map all human knowledge.

Okay . As far I have learned is that everything all humanity knows at any specific point of time is finite and growing rapidly.

Collective human knowledge is finite at any moment and growing and divided into many areas for convenience . We have disciplines such as physics, maths etc.

Yes it is enormous and it seems to Practically extremely difficult to make such a map.

I understood your point

Thank you sir for your response.
