This page is (intended to grow into) a list of concepts that are related to categorism itself or to the understanding of categorism. This list does not include those concepts that are primarily facets, foci or abstractions of categorism, as these concepts are listed on those pages.

Note that many terms have many meanings, and this site is not trying to be a comprehensive glossary. It tries to explain only how the terms are used here.
