Definition / description
We are striving to develop an "integral" theory of concepts, which incorporates the major facets of each of the various main approaches to concept definition.
Our definition - Integral - combining many facets and schools of thinking
- Holistic - a whole formed from various alternatives where each alternative contributes something important
- Stipulative - we assert this definition - we construct it intentionally rather than observe it
- Synthetic - this is a constructed definition, based on various theories and empirical evidence
We are intending our Closed Loop model to be an integral and holistic theory - a theory that contains and embodies definitions for all basic terms and concepts in the theory of categories, in one integrated package - indeed, in one single "concept"
