In the following, we will name concepts selected by applying the four
above principles. For most of the concepts being named, we will employ
the same template:
- Name—the chosen name of the concept is used as the
heading.
- Definition—the definition of the concept.
- Alternative Names—names that were considered and
subsequently rejected in favor of the chosen name.
- Discussion—reasons for the particular choice of
name (and concept) and reasons for not selecting considered
names (and concepts).
When no alternative names have been proposed, the third entry is not
included. With no alternatives at all, the last entry is also omitted.
