Telephony Signaling & Service Control	9	Abstractions about switched transport, call control, private-network signaling, charging policy, telephone extensions, service interfaces, and telecommunications protocols.
Theatrical Performance & Social Presentation	5	Abstractions about theater, costume coordination, impression management, hypocrisy, and metaphors of social life as staged performance.
Theology, Religious Interpretation & Authority	18	Abstractions about religious doctrine, spiritual authority, sacred interpretation, identity, and lived practice. They include literal and tropological readings, theology across traditions, providence and monotheism, clerical and educational institutions, interfaith expression, spiritual roles, and contested belonging.
Theoretical Physics & Mathematical Models	34	Abstractions about mathematical representations used across particle, field, wave, and statistical physics. They include invariants and operators, interaction diagrams, scattering and transport, polarization, symmetry, approximation methods, and idealized particles or forces.
Thermal Radiation & Energy Transport	15	Abstractions about heat conduction, radiation, emission, thermoelectric and photovoltaic conversion, energy currents, and relativistic or emergent thermal effects.
Thermodynamics & Energy Systems	27	Abstractions about energy conversion, transfer, accounting, and performance across thermodynamic and engineered systems. They include work and state functions, entropy and free energy, cooling and insulation, energy networks, process diagrams, monitoring, forecasting, and efficiency measures.
Topological Completion & Uniformity	16	Abstractions about topological and uniform structures, completion, duality, stratification, neighborhood order, and constructions that organize generalized spaces.
Topological Groups & Homotopy Actions	11	Abstractions about continuous group actions, representations, mapping and loop spaces, topological group constructions, transformations, and homotopy-theoretic conjectures.
Topological Separation & Dimension	13	Abstractions about covering dimension, connectedness, separation, scattered and saturated sets, specialized topologies, and invariant topological properties.
Topological Spaces & Compactness	26	Abstractions about topological spaces characterized by compactness, countability, metrizability, connectedness, separation, and mapping properties. They include special constructed spaces, embeddings, filters, isolated and adherent points, uniformization, and behavior at infinity.
Topological Vector Spaces & Bundles	8	Abstractions about locally convex spaces, manifolds, bundles, tensor products, diffeomorphisms, homomorphisms, and reflexivity or completeness conditions.
Traffic Routing & Congestion Control	5	Abstractions about road and network congestion, dispatch, route diversion, delay-responsive control, traffic signs, and hazard warnings.
Tree Data Structures & Algorithms	9	Abstractions about recursive and spatial trees, rotations, ancestor queries, traversal methods, pointer analysis, and abstract tree representations.
Truth, Semantics & Logical Systems	18	Abstractions about formal truth, semantic interpretation, metalanguage, propositions, proof, and nonclassical systems of logical consequence.
Typography & Text Layout	10	Abstractions about typefaces, spacing, indentation, punctuation, line length, elongation, ellipsis, and page-layout conventions for readable text.
Unclustered & Miscellaneous	1565	Domain-specific abstractions that did not settle into a coherent structural family—either because their cluster had fewer than five members or because the cluster was too diffuse to name. This catch-all keeps the clustering's limits visible while preserving every entry.
Usability, Accessibility & Discoverability	13	Abstractions about accessible and user-centered design, interface discoverability, target acquisition, cognitive walkthroughs, maintainability, and usability failures.
Varieties, Morphisms & Birational Geometry	12	Abstractions about algebraic varieties, morphisms, line bundles, canonical rings, blowups, moduli schemes, motivic integration, and birational invariants.
Wavelets & Time-Frequency Analysis	17	Abstractions about wavelet families, time-frequency representations, spatial-frequency filtering, multiscale transforms, and related sensing or imaging methods.
Weather, Climate & Atmospheric Dynamics	32	Abstractions about atmospheric and coupled climate processes, observation, modeling, and hazardous weather. They include cloud and storm formation, circulation, feedback, sounding and indices, air–sea interaction, wind and waves, standard atmospheres, and forecast-relevant signatures.
Welfare, Production & Economic Choice	45	Abstractions about economic allocation, production, preferences, uncertainty, and welfare evaluation. They include equilibrium and convergence, capacity and productivity, inequality measures, utility and willingness to pay, trade distortions, discrimination, and development outcomes.
Writing Systems & Symbolic Form	24	Abstractions about scripts, characters, spelling, transliteration, word formation, and symbolic interpretation. They include alphasyllabaries and logograms, diacritics and punctuation, shorthand, linguistic markers, reading and recognition, naming suffixes, and tests for structural units.
