The four stages of postformal thought are Systematic, Metasystematic, Paradigmatic, and Cross-Paradigmatic. Each successive stage is more hierarchically complex than the one that precedes it. Each stage uses the elements formed at the previous stage to construct more hierarchically complex elements (e.g., metasystems, paradigms). An actual instrument constructed using the Model of Hierarchical ...

This paper explores the use of terminology extraction methods for detecting paradigmatic changes in scientific articles. We use a statistical method for identifying salient nouns and adjectives that signal these paradigmatic changes. We then employ the extracted lexical units for discovering terms that are assumed to be central in characterising paradigm shifts. To assess the method’s performan...

This article hopes to make a contribution to the growing body of work on the paradigmatic description of context of situation. Having considered the limited achievements of earlier work on context, I offer a fairly detailed account of what is entailed in producing a consistent and precise description of a linguistic category by using the principles and methods of the paradigmatic mode of descri...

This paper reflects on the theoretical aspects of an earlier ontological study. The study was a single case which explored the use of an agricultural decision support system by women cotton growers in the Australian cotton industry and the effect of its use on their farm management roles on family cotton farms. The study was informed through a multi-paradigmatic conceptual framework with struct...

We present a computational model for the paradigmatic analysis of musical pieces, which is the classiication of musical segments into similarity-based categories. The model requires the analyst to make explicit choices for the characteristics by which the musical segments are described. The classiication of the segments into categories is determined by these characteristics and is performed by ...

Nowadays, the problem of finding families graphs for which one may ensure existence a vertex-labeling and/or an edge-labeling based on certain class integers, constitutes challenge researchers in both number and graph theory. In this paper, we focus those vertex-labelings whose induced multiplicative assigns hyper totient numbers to edges graph. way, introduce characterize notions re...
