Abstract
Order analysis was proposed as a method for description of formal structures in multidimensional space. Its algorithm was derived using a combination of psychological measurement theory, formal logic theory, information theory and graph theory concepts. It suggests isomorphism between algebraic, geometric, logical, and cognitive structures. The model also provides for adjustment of its sensitivity to random variation with an elective degree of statistical confidence.Keywords
