Well, it IS a bit metaphysical.

To get a sense of how it works on wikipedia look at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Fundamental
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_talk:Fundamental

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Categories
Which I think should be the only uncategorized category, which is why,
in turn I believe is the motivation for the special page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Uncategorizedcategories
Which I think is there to look for problem categories, and which
doesn't seem to be real time.
