Systematizations of norms and hypotheses are needed in research motivated by pedagogical, ethical, political, or other large-scale movements.

The systematizations visualize complicated logical or, more generally, cognitive relationships between important clusters of prescriptions and descriptions. The systemizations also bring to focus the basic premises and fundamental norms that guide concrete actions and minor research units having meaning only within, or mainly within, a major normative framework. They help unify and coordinate enterprises involving diverse groups and many persons.

As research instruments, systematizations must be flexible. They must be expressed at various levels of preciseness and in alternative terminologies. A multiplicity of versions are needed, each adapted to special functions.

Modifications can be carried out through the reinterpretation of terms and sentences as well as through negating or modifying propositions.

Whereas the simple, categorical way of announcement of norms and hypotheses makes survey and derivation the simplest, the assessment of degrees of uncertainty and qualifying phrases should be attached as notes and comments.
