TOP

Definition

Top, n.. The position of an idea in a given structure of ideas that knows all other ideas in that structure.

Comments

The top idea of any given structure represents that whole structure, for it knows all of it. If there is more than one top idea in a structure such as tied-wholes, all of the top ideas collectively represent the structure. A higher single top idea is implied, see tied-wholes.
