The individual elements are subject to semiotic relations that can be classified into four groups. These are a) the determination, in which individual categories are defined or defined more precisely; b) the expansion or reduction, which causes category clusters to either emerge or disappear, c) the transformation, which can still be subdivided into conceptual and situational changes; and finally d) the coordination, which networks individual constellations with one another:
