Defining the concept is the translation of the concept into a concrete concept. What are the rules for defining?
In a scientific definition its definiens must not include the same.
Definitions should contain clear terms, either because they can be presumed to be clear to anyone or because they are defined elsewhere, as is the case with a nested definition.
It is wise not to include terms in the definition which in turn depend on the term, this can lead to circular reasoning.
It is not advisable to define using a list, because it could be incomplete, and it could become a series of examples instead of a definition.
The definition should be as concise as possible. The longer the definition, the less comprehensible.
