decompositions

Definitions in a broad sense start with explanations, and explanations are divided into contextual definitions of simple concepts (or of concepts that we are not able to define) and definitions in the strict sense, namely the decompositions of a concept into its parts.

Dealing in effect in a quite general way with nested as well as periodic decompositions.

How can we understand and exploit the particular intellectual assets of our community — our ability to: think computationally; understand and model complex inter-related systems; build useful abstractions and problem decompositions; manage and evolve large-scale socio-technical design efforts; build the information systems and knowledge management tools that empower effective decision-making; develop and verify complex control systems on which we now depend; create user-friendly and task-appropriate interfaces to complex information and communication infrastructures.

For the climate crisis, computational thinking might help us to identify problem decompositions, design solutions to the subproblems, but will likely miss the complex interactions of people, communities, businesses, etc, all of which is the realm of systems thinking.

The processing of evidence began not at the lab but at the crime scene, where the fluids, decompositions, and other untidy leftovers of murder were found and tabbed for analysis.

Crime scene murders, suicides, death and decompositions of all sorts.

The Mystic Arts of Erasing All Signs of Death by Charlie Huston Jayf 2009

His proposal considers only decompositions at single instants, and is agnostic about reidentification over time.
