Naming the Movement

I have been considering the term Metiston or Meticist, to describe the samurai of the tetrahedron. The movement could be called Meticism. In Esperanto, you would need to add some o's. The name is from ancient mythology of course, of Zeus's first consort, mother of Athena. I find it an apt source for a name, since she was supposed to represent wisdom, skill, craft, a kind of great cunning and power. A new form of science could be Metistology, the use of scientific method and effective approaches to problem solving and various other efficiencies in terms of gathering knowledge, employing information gained properly, techniques of reasoning, planning, systematic approaches to employ that finds the most successful method of doing something, etc. The order could be called the Order of the Metiston, or the Metistonic Order. Members follow the Mestistonic Path.

In terms of Metistology, some examples of this subject area could include concepts such as options space, which is the universe of possible options that one can act upon in a particular situation, game, or circumstance, also defining the natures of open structure vs fine structure problems (no set solutions vs observably clear logically deducible solutions), the algorithmic vs heuristic approaches to solution attaining, common irrational fallacies and tendencies to watch out for, and so on.
