Kartesis

Kartesis refers to a concept or system that is Cartesian in nature, meaning it is based on the principles of René Descartes' coordinate system. This typically involves a structured, logical approach to problem-solving or representation, often employing a framework of axes and defined points. In mathematics, the Cartesian coordinate system uses two perpendicular lines (axes) to define the location of any point in a plane. This principle can be extended to three dimensions and beyond.

The term "kartesis" can also be used more broadly to describe anything organized according to a methodical, step-by-step process. This might be seen in certain analytical techniques, organizational structures, or even in the way data is presented. The core idea is a systematic decomposition and arrangement, making complex information or situations more understandable and manageable. For instance, a "kartesis approach" to a business problem would likely involve breaking it down into its constituent parts and analyzing each part in a structured sequence. While the term is not as commonly used as "Cartesian," it retains the essence of Descartes' influential geometric and philosophical ideas, emphasizing order, logic, and systematic representation.
