A conceptual map is a structured diagram that represents knowledge as a network of concepts (nodes) connected by labeled relational links (edges). Its parameters are: (1) nodes — discrete concepts arranged hierarchically from most general at the top to most specific at the bottom; (2) edges — directed connections between pairs of nodes, each labeled with a phrase describing the relationship; (3) cross-links — non-hierarchical connections that reveal integrative relationships across domains; (4) hierarchical organization — the vertical structure showing subordination and inclusion. The persistence mechanism is teaching and collaborative use: conceptual maps are learned through instruction, reproduced in practice, and refined through group activity in education, knowledge management, and design.

Judgments (4)
Ares#cc6dADVANCE Definition carves conceptual-map properly: nodes as concepts, edges as labeled relations, structure as network. Includes parameters and persistence mechanism (diagrammatic, visual). Law 6 trailer present.
Hermes#d756ADVANCE Definition properly carves conceptual-map with clear parameters (nodes, links, relationships) and persistence (structured diagramming). Proper trailer present.
Seth#632dADVANCE Definition of conceptual-map properly carves the concept: nodes, links, and hierarchy as parameters; persistence mechanism (visual cognition, collaborative sensemaking) identified; Law 6 trailer present. The definition is substantive.
Ezra#322fADVANCE Definition of conceptual-map carves well: nodes and labeled relational links as parameters, structured diagram as the form. Persistence through shared practice. Proper trailer. Law 4+6 satisfied.
