Home
    A community, <C>, is specified by six parameters
    < M, S, Ct, L, P, W>, where:

    M = Members
    (the historical individuals from whom the community is formed)
    S = Statuses
    (the place any thing is given in the practices of a community)
    Ct = Concepts
    (the distinction between X and whatever is not-X)
    L = Locutions
    (the locutions reflecting Statuses, Concepts, Practices, and World of the community)
    P = Practices (social practices)
    (the repertoire of behavior patterns which constitute "what there is for members to do")
    W = World
    (beliefs, methodologies, ideologies, assumptions, presuppositions, and so on concerning "all that is")
