Does anyone know anything about this discipline?
This is an interview. They do discuss metaphysical application.
If you're allergic to any little bit of 'woo', don't watch it.
But you will miss a treat.

Jan Irvin runs gnosticmedia.com, he is the author of "The Holy Mushroom" and "Astrotheology & Shamanism". He is also behind the DVD "The Pharmacratic Inquisition". Jan is with us to discuss a new aspect of his work and research called "The Trivium". Grammar, logic, and rhetoric are "the three ways" or "the three roads" that together with arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy, called "The Quadrivium", forms the seven liberal arts. This was the foundation of a medieval liberal arts education, something that almost altogether has been lost in our modern society and education system. Jan discusses the benefits of this ancient form of education and argues that within the methodology and approach of the seven liberal arts are vital keys that will aid anyone who is seeking "the truth". Later, Jan points out some of the fallacies that researchers and self acclaimed critics make. (end quote)

Discovering and ordering facts of reality comprises basic, systematic Knowledge- not only the rules developed and applied to the ordering of word/concepts for verbal expression and communication, but our first contact with conscious order as such. This is the initial, self-conscious technique used in properly (discursively or sequentially) organizing a body of knowledge from raw, factual data for the purpose of gaining understanding (through logic) and; thus, also organizing the individual human mind. It is the foundation upon which all other “methods of organization and order” are built. (end quote)
