Systematic Categorization

A Systematic Categorization is a categorization that organizes elements through defined methods and structured approaches.

• Context:
  • It can establish Element Order through classification rules and sorting criteria.
  • It can maintain Category Relationships through hierarchy structure and logical connections.
  • It can ensure System Consistency through standardized processes and validation checks.
  • It can range from being a Simple System to being a Complex System, depending on its category depth.
  • It can range from being a Linear Structure to being a Network Structure, depending on its relationship type.
  • It can support Category Evolution through flexible adaptation and system updates.
  • ...
• Examples:
  • Categorization Types, such as:
    • Hierarchical Systems, such as:
      • Tree Classification for nested structures.
      • Level Organization for rank systems.
    • Network Systems, such as:
      • Graph Structure for linked elements.
      • Matrix Organization for cross-references.
  • ...
• Counter-Examples:
  • Random Grouping, which lacks organizing principles.
  • Ad Hoc Collection, which uses arbitrary sorting.
  • Informal Arrangement, which misses systematic methods.
• See: Classification, Organization, Structure, Method, System, Category.
