foundationalbasesbased
Foundationalbasesbased, abbreviated FBB, is a theoretical framework that posits that complex systems can be understood by identifying a small set of foundational bases from which all observable phenomena can be derived. The approach integrates ideas from foundationalism, systems theory, and basis-based modeling.
Core idea: every domain constructs explanations by selecting a minimal set of foundational bases, such as fundamental
Methodology: analysts perform conceptual analysis to isolate candidate bases; formal modeling to test derivations; cross-domain mapping
Applications: in cognitive science for understanding mental representations; in software architecture for defining core modules; in
Criticisms: risk of oversimplification, ambiguities in selecting bases, difficulties in measuring foundationality, potential bias toward reductionism,
Relation to other ideas: related to foundationalism, basis theory in linear algebra, modular design, and hierarchical
