There should be no cycles in the concept dependence graph; mutual dependence suggests a single concept.

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.claim0.826
  Core idea for product families and minimal viable product.
• The concept dependence graph can serve as a yardstick to evaluate module dependences in an implementation.claim0.821
  Application of concept dependences to assess representation design.
• Concept Dependence Graphmethod0.794
  Method for arranging concepts in a directed graph to show which concepts depend on others and to characterize product families
• "[W]e must confess that perception, and what depends upon it, is inexplicable in terms of mechanical reasons... we will find only parts that push one another, and we will never find anything to explain a perception."quote0.756

• Two concepts should not have the same purpose; additional concepts for the same purpose create needless complexity.claim0.754
  No redundancy criterion.
• A concept should not attempt to serve two distinct purposes; this leads to conflicts and confusion.claim0.753
  No overloading criterion.
• This theory doesn't have to correspond exactly to human behavior or social customs; we only need analogs useful for program correctness.claim0.751
  The speech act theory for programming can be simpler than human models.
• The results generalise readily to non-equilibrium systems where scaling relationships remain similar (e.g., dynamic or localised scaling).claim0.748
  Claim about broader applicability of the scaling argument
