Mentics Glossary

DEFINITION

Definition

Definition, n.. Explanation of the meaning of something.

Comments

To define is from Latin, to limit. A definition gives an explanation of the meaning of what something is, but also of what it is not, thus its boundary. A mentics structure is defined by its top idea and its base. In some cases, a structure may require a plurality of top ideas, such as with the tied-wholes chain.
