The concept dependence graph can serve as a yardstick to evaluate module dependences in an implementation.

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

• The concept dependence graph defines a family of applications: a subset of concepts is well-formed if it satisfies dependences.claim0.849
  Core idea for product families and minimal viable product.
• There should be no cycles in the concept dependence graph; mutual dependence suggests a single concept.claim0.821
  Sanity check for concept independence.
• Concept Dependence Graphmethod0.819
  Method for arranging concepts in a directed graph to show which concepts depend on others and to characterize product families
• Concepts are not just subjective mental constructs, but are objective features of a system's design: increments of functionality that were consciously introduced by a designer to serve particular purposes.concept0.736
  Central definition from the abstract.
• Developing a simple, precise denotational model of graphical user interfaces enables proving properties of programs and establishing objective comparisons of library abstraction levels.claim0.734
  Authors' core assertion that formal modeling of GUIs provides foundational benefits for language design and program verification.
• The likelihood of a dedicated feature for a concept (element, city, animal, food) follows a sigmoid in log-frequency of the concept in training data, with threshold frequency inversely proportional to number of alive features.finding0.734
  Quantitative relationship between concept frequency and feature presence.
• Quantitative criteria like those of Crump et al. are a good example of the kind of framework we need: explicitly laying out conditions in a way that reveals their value and limitations.claim0.726
  Praise for the target framework's transparency.
• Concepts are the building blocks of software systems, objective features of a system’s design.claim0.724
  Asserts that concepts are not just mental but concrete design elements.
