If we deal with several attributes we may reclassify the members of such a class according as to whether they possess a second attribute or not, the members of each such a sub-class according as to whether they possess a third attribute, etc. ;thus, by a series of divisions by dichotomy we can form any number of classes, i. e. produce a manifold classification. 1, record 8, English, - manifold%20classification
