Conrad's Coordination System

Conrad's Coordination System, otherwise known as Concorse, is a system of categorizing the known elements of the Speck Universe. It was invented by the human Sprout Conrad, and he claimed that he had calculated the number of elements in the universe at 12,419. He never divulged how he had divined this number.

Gamma Number Controversy
According to several accounts, Conrad had written an equation that let him predict the properties of any element, known or unknown, based on it's "Gamma Number." Using this number, he would predict the density, atomic weight, temperatures for states of matter, and could even guess properties. Dismissed as a hoax near the end of his life, Conrad retreated to his country home to work out the properties of to-be-discovered elements. Using his "gamma equation," Conrad categorized 1,359 elements before his death. At the time of his death, only 119 elements were known. Soon, as space travel advanced, more elements were discovered and placed in his system. All elements discovered after his death have fit the specifications he had predicted perfectly, meaning that the gamma equation was incredibly accurate. To date, 956 elements have been discovered, all falling within the parameters of Conrad's Coordination System.

Some have accused Conrad of being in communication with the devil. Other more desperate skeptics claim that Conrad had discovered and studied the categorized elements himself, and that the gamma equation was a convenient lie he spread make himself look smart.

Nomenclature
Each element is labeled with a two-letter abbreviation, a density number, a slash, then Conrad's "gamma number." For instance:

Drogue DR44/2.3
 * DR - Abbreviation
 * 44 - Density
 * 2.3 - Gamma Number
