Universal, Universality or Universal Property are technical terms defined in Mathematical Logic as a property that applies to all cases in a domain explicitly represented by a fixed, often finite set of symbols. A short statement about Universality can be found on page 131 of Davey and Priestly [1]. More over, Eugene Wigner's talk on The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics in the Natural Sciences[2], is also a good place to get a sense of universality.
Universal Constructs
There is a data type called: Partially ordered set, or POSet, being considered as the universal data type for all representables.
Idealized Space
Another way to talk about universaily, is to think of it as a way to express the most ideal situation for representing certain concepts[3].
