Abstract
In the process of development of any science there is a constant need for the introduction of new terms and concepts for a clearer and more accurate description of real scientific facts and phenomena, their mutual relations and interdependencies. Often this becomes necessary in the study of certain problems that are at the junction of different Sciences, which necessarily leads to the need for a clearer delineation of the boundaries between this concept and other, close in meaning.
