Comments

See concept. Any given type in a concept is the top idea of its type-chain, which consists of its lower types and their symbols. Thus concepts grow as new types are added to a type-chain. The term type-chain is used in context with types or a specific type. Concept is more abstract, and thus more general. See Table 9, Concept.
