Justification
What has been written down.
Six fields are required of every node. Empty ones are shown as declared gaps — a gap means nothing has been written, not that there is nothing to write.
Definition
CommentThe organised structures of the human organism, from cells to organ systems, and the stable functional organisation those structures enable, including the agreed terminologies that describe them.
Inclusion
Comment- anatomical structures and their standardised nomenclature
- cellular and molecular organisation directly constituting tissues and organs
- organ-system architecture
- reference-atlas representations of the body that preserve structural mapping
Exclusion
Comment- institutions delivering healthcare — goes to healthcare
- technological tools used to measure or operate on biology — goes to technological relation: instrumentation
- normative judgements about life and health — lens ethics
Sources
CommentDeclared gap No sources have been cited.
Boundary cases
CommentDeclared gap No boundary cases have been recorded.
Uncertainty
Comment- This division currently has nine children, against a stated bound of seven. Either the bound does not apply at L1, which needs an argument, or two of these are not siblings of the rest.
- The endocrine system is excluded from the nervous system but does not appear as a component here. It is either missing or absorbed into another component without that being stated.

The whole domain
88 nodes, every level of the descent.
The full descent below this domain. A node that divides opens to show its parts; a node that does not is a link and nothing more. Every entry is a page, and a page existing says nothing about whether anything has been written on it.

Rules
Whether this division survives the six rules.
Rules 1, 5 and 6 are checked by the validator and reported here. Rules 2, 3 and 4 are judgements about meaning and cannot be automated — no state is claimed for them. The rules themselves are set out in the method.
At most seven
Divides into 9 components, above the stated ceiling of seven.
Mutually exclusive
A judgement about whether the parts overlap. Not automated.
Collectively exhaustive
A judgement about what the parts leave out. Not automated.
Equal abstraction
A judgement about whether the parts answer the same question type. Not automated.
Decomposable or terminal
Divides into 9 parts.
Justified in writing
4 of the six fields carry content. The rest are declared gaps.
Diagnostics
1 entry against this node.
Where this division has been put under pressure and what happened. An entry is not a task list — some record that the question is open and that leaving it open was the decision.
Proposals
What has been argued about this node.
Nothing has been decided against this node. That is not the same as nothing being wrong with it.
Discussion
What has been said about this node.
Nothing published on this node yet.
