Accounting for system-wide patterns in conceptual modeling of conceptual knowledge

The paper discusses the problem of applying the node-function-object system-object methodology to conceptual systems. A comparative analysis of material systems (systems-phenomena) and conceptual systems (systems-classes) has been carried out. It is shown that a number of well-known system-wide regularities are applicable both to systems-phenomena and systems-classes. Given the universal definition of the concept of “system”, taking into account both types of systems. Variants of the formal description of the system-class using the apparatus of calculus of objects and description logic are proposed. The possibility of including systems-classes in the theory of systems based on the system-object methodology on a par with systems-phenomena is substantiated. The results obtained allow us to improve existing and create new types of conceptual models of conceptual knowledge that take into account system-wide patterns and reflect the consistency of reality.
