Analysis Act

An Analysis Act is a cognitive act that instantiates an analysis task (to decompose phenomena into components).

• AKA: Analytical Activity.
• Context:
  • It can require Analysis Method for systematic decomposition and component examination.
  • It can generate Analysis Findings through evidence evaluation and pattern recognition.
  • It can support Knowledge Creation through component understanding and relationship discovery.
  • ...
  • It can often need documentation processes through finding recording and insight capture.
  • It can often include verification tasks through result validation and conclusion testing.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Direct Analysis Act to being a Meta Analysis Act, depending on its analysis level.
  • It can range from being a Deductive Analysis Act to being an Inductive Analysis Act, depending on its reasoning approach.
  • It can range from being a Logical Analysis Act to being a Statistical Analysis Act, depending on its method type.
  • It can range from being an Exact Analysis Act to being an Approximate Analysis Act, depending on its precision need.
  • ...
• Examples:
  • Technical Analysis Acts, such as:
    • Data Analysis Acts, such as:
      • Pattern Recognition Act for data insight.
      • Correlation Analysis Act for relationship discovery.
    • Program Analysis Acts, such as:
      • Code Review Act for software assessment.
      • Performance Analysis Act for efficiency measurement.
  • Diagnostic Analysis Acts, such as:
    • Problem Analysis Acts, such as:
      • Root Cause Analysis Act for issue understanding.
      • Impact Analysis Act for consequence assessment.
  • ...
• Counter-Examples:
  • Synthesis Act, which combines components rather than decomposing them.
  • Implementation Act, which applies analysis findings rather than generating them.
  • Planning Act, which organizes future actions rather than examining current states.
