diagramon
A diagramon is a diagrammatic construct used to represent and manipulate structured knowledge about a system. It combines visual elements with a formal or quasi-formal interpretation, so that its components have defined meaning within a given domain. The concept is often discussed in the context of diagrammatic reasoning and knowledge representation, where diagrams are more than illustrative tools and carry inferential potential.
A diagramon typically consists of nodes representing entities, edges for relationships, and enclosed regions or labels
Diagramons support operations including composition, refinement, and normalization. Composition links multiple diagramons to model larger systems;
Applications of diagramons span education, software and systems modeling, knowledge representation, and cognitive science. They are
