Canons for succession of characterestics
| Canons for succession of characterestics: Three canons: The succession of characterestics in the associated scheme of characterestics should statisfy the following three canons. 1.canon of concomitance. 2.canon of Relevant Succession. 3.Canon of Consistent Succession. These are common sence cannons;no scheme for classification worth considering will violate them. 1.Canon of Concomitance: No two characterestics in the associated scheme of characterestics should be concomitant-that is they should not give rise to the same array of subjects or of isolate ideas. 2.Canon of Relevant Succession: The succession of the charasterestics in the associated scheme of charasterestics should be relevant to the purpose of the classification. 3.Canon of Consistent Succesion: The succesion of the characteristics in the associated scheme of characteristics should be consistently adhered to, so long as there is no change in the purpose of the classification. |
