Abstract

To achieve a global comprehension of the whole GSPS conceptual framework, it is desirable to look at the framework from a distance, with the aim of recognizing some significant categories of the concepts. Such an inspection of the conceptual framework is likely to reveal three main categories of concepts. Let us refer to concepts in these categories as primitive, basic, and supplementary systems concepts.
