Abstract

In this paper, at a qualitative level, we mean the concept as an abstraction based on the characteristics of the perceived reality. In analytic activity, a concept is considered to be some label imposed on a phenomenon, which forces us to connect individual observations and perform generalizations. For convenience, it is identified with the name given to observations and events. Each concept is associated with some kind of its properties. A variable is often understood as a measured concept as a property that is associated with the concept and changes when measured. If the property does not change, then it is considered a constant. We proceed from the fact that concepts should have a mechanism for change. Under these assumptions, a two-parameter commutative diagram is constructed that connects possible worlds and property transformations. The resulting semantic map sets the framework for their variation. Thus, the regulation of the variability of the associated structure of variable concepts is achieved, which determines the possible relationships of the displaced concepts.
