Semantic Dimensions

Dimensions

1. Role The procedural operation being performed.

2. Object The thing the operation acts on.

3. Purpose Why the operation is being performed.

4. Stage Where the operation tends to occur in the reasoning or execution process.

5. Control Flow Whether the phrase indicates sequencing, branching, looping, termination, continuation, or none.

Principle

Role is primary. Object overlap alone must never create semantic equivalence.
