CHOICE OF SCHEME FOR CLASSIFICATION - Indian Statistical ...

3 The idea "Year 1968" is obviously an Isolate Idea. It is not a subject by itself.
But when attached to a Basic Subject it yields a subject. This is called Time Isolate Idea.
4 Properties such as Structure, Function, Disease, Colour, and Hardness are called
Matter (Property) Isolate Ideas.
5 Materials such as Timber and Steel are called Matter (Material) Isolate Ideas.
6 Ideas such as "Measurement", "Prevention", and "Cure" are called Energy
Isolate Ideas.
None of these can be a subject by it self. But any of these will yield a subject
when attached to a Basic Subject.
3.1.4 Facet
'Facet' is a generic term used to denote either a Basic Subject or an Isolate Idea. It
is used in referring to the components of a subject having both of them.
3.1.5 Compound Subject
The term 'Compound Subject' denotes a subject with a Basic Facet - this is
compulsory - and one or more Isolate Facets added after it. For example, "Cure of
inflammation of eyes in a human-being". This is a Compound Subject going with the
Basic Facet Medicine. This Basic Facet is represented in the name of the Compound
Subject by the term 'in a human-being'.
3.1.6 Fundamental Category
In the Indian Theory of Classification, Personality, Matter, Energy, Space, and
Time are postulated to be the Five Fundamental Categories, of one, and only one of
which, an Isolate Facet in a Compound Subject is deemed to be a manifestation., For
example in the Compound Subject mentioned in the preceding section,
1 The isolate "Eyes" is deemed to be a manifestation to the Fundamental Category
"Personality";
2 The isolate "Inflammation" is deemed to be a manifestation of the Fundamental
Category "Matter (Property)"; and
3 The isolate "Cure" is deemed to be a manifestation of the Fundamental Category
"Energy".
Space and Time Isolates have been illustrated in Sec 313. There are also some
other postulates such as the Postulate of Rounds and Postulate of Levels (36, 57).
