2type

2type is a term used in various domains to denote a dichotomy or classification into two types. It is not a fixed technical term with a single definition; rather, its meaning depends on the discipline and the context in which it is used.

In computing and data science, 2type commonly describes a binary or two-category scheme, such as data or features that take one of two values (0 or 1) or a task that yields two classes. The label is often used informally to contrast binary models with multi-class ones.

In social sciences or humanities, 2type may refer to a two-type typology of actors, roles, or identities. It is typically part of broader models that compare two contrasted categories rather than present a comprehensive taxonomy.

Because 2type is not a standardized term, readers should consult the specific source for its precise definition in that work. See also binary, dichotomy, and type theory.
