I was just wondering if you meant "tree" in terms of a set of categories,
sub-categories and so forth. Aristotle broke knowledge down in that
fashion.
i.e. (I'll use general terms since I don't know latin)
Mammal -> "horses"
-> "apes" -> "monkeys"
-> "gorilla"
-> "humans"
When you map out these things they form a kind of tree structure. These
sorts of structures are used in both linguistics and AI a fair bit.
