20. 20 Formal GrC Theory Quotient Structure (QS) Each granule  a point Interactions are axiomatized

21. 21 Formal GrC Theory 3. QS=KS: each point  a concept Concept interactions from QS In RS, concepts are labeled by attribute values; No interactions

22. 22 Formal GrC Theory Linguistic Structure: granule  words from the precisitated natural language.

23. 23 QS= KS in the Web QS= KS in the Web QS: a tuple (a simplex) is a point in an ordered simplicial complex KS: Each simplex represents a concept in the web defined by the ordered keyword set (tuple)
