Parent Domain Cognitive Science


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.
