Fig. 5

Set of Granular Perspectives within a given spatio-structural Frame of Reference. The figure shows all qualitative granular perspectives that the domain granularity framework for the life sciences distinguishes for any given spatio-structural frame of reference and thus any corresponding CBB granularity level (here, the set of perspectives for the eukaryotic cell level as an example). The large dark arrows indicate the granulation relation and the white boxes contain the granulated entity types. a = Region-Based Fiat Building Block Part Granularity Perspective; b = Region-Based Fiat Building Block Cluster Granularity Perspective; c = Region-Based Group of Building Block Level Objects Granularity Perspective; d = Region-Based Group of Fiat Building Block Level Entities Granularity Perspective (see also Table 1)
