The key factor here is that I gave up on this. You could say I gave up on my hate.
It was part of me exploring the nature of colorless (artifact) cards. For some time I've felt that colorless artifacts are actively detrimental and should be used very rarely if at all. In Silmarillion WOJ, there are only 3 artifacts for that reason: Crystal Ball, Outcast’s Refuge, and Silmarils, Jewels of Fëanor. It's also noteworthy that artifacts are leeching of the mechanics of what enchantments traditionally do / should be doing since their very inception and given that the Silmarillion set is heavily enchantment favored/themed, I have doubly the reasons not to have artifacts there.
Regardless, with this "set" I was thinking, well, okay, what if I allowed colorless artifacts to do what they are currently and push it to the extreme? Have a set with no color. That will be bland obviously, so I was thinking of stuff on how to create different factions without the use of color. is an obvious choice, then you could have Waste tribal, and other stuff like that.
Looking at the notes, I've been going through artifacts and grouping them just to see if... I'm not sure... if there's anything they can't do?
It looks I've also looked for the noncreature types as possible theme to split the cards into factions, such as Desert. These are from that post of yours from MTG Salvation btw.
I had copied the lists of artifact types, land types, spell types, and enchantment types. Not exactly sure why though.
This is a long and seemingly pointless grouping. As it is, I think the set exists as my hate letter towards colorless nonland cards. Many of these cards are probably listed here because of my great disgust toward them.
Oh yeah wow, this links seems to indicate that I've stopped on the page 12 of colorless nonland cards listing from gatherer with the idea of going through all of them and grouping or whatever? "These are all the artifacts I hate" ? xD Or maybe I'm looking for some kind of themes?

Screw everything about this set.
Does that mean you are unhappy with it? I have not yet understood what you are trying to accomplish here.
Short answer is hate, obsession, and obsession.
