The "sets" characteristic of different psychosocial systems were analyzed as an exercise for a meeting of the Forms of Presentation group (Geneva, 1980) of the Goals, Processes and Indicators of Development (GPID) project of the United Nations University (Patterns of N-foldness: comparison of integrated multi-set concept schemes as forms of presentation, 1980). The table summarizing the results is presented below as Table 2 (with links to the "annexes" providing the source information). These results were later published with related papers (Patterns of Conceptual Integration, 1984). The presentation of Table 2 raises useful questions concerning the challenge to comprehension by comparison with Table 1 above.

Table 2: Concept set prime number factors (and powers)tentative Cells of table contain range of factor powers: N - M (e.g. from 3N to 3M ) Parentheses Indicate less significant factors/powers in the concept scheme
