Can you think of any definition which is not a deficiency in form? You are (quite literally) reducing reality to symbols.

Abstraction is the elimination of the irrelevant and the amplification of the essential -- Robert C. Martin

"Relevance" and "essence" are contingent on human choice.

Fallacy of slippery slope considering whether the position of "relevance/essence" and "choice" determinines a pure assumption of which comes first and we are left with a continual alternating regress of one leading to the other to the other under a continual alternation.
R/E -> C or C -> R/E results in different definitions.

And human choice is symbolized fundamentally under a point of diverenge through the "or" function of excluded middle and/or a point of synthesis, with this choice as pure assumption of a phenomenon alone representing

The "point" exists fundamentally both as a symbol and means in itself in these respects and is grounded in the nature of assumption where all "choice" is symbolized by the separation or connection of phenomenon through a point in time with the phenomenon itself representing the point of change. In these respects the phenomenon, as assumed, is the point of awareness and exists as an element of choice through the nature of the observer him/her self.
