symbolization

Symbolization is the process of translating real-world ideas, thoughts, or concepts into symbols or representations, such as words, images, or numbers. It allows abstract or complex information to be communicated efficiently, analyzed, and understood consistently. For example, using a map symbol to represent a restaurant or mathematical symbols to denote quantities. This process is fundamental in fields like logic, language, and science, as it simplifies the handling of information, making it easier to analyze relationships, draw conclusions, and share ideas across different contexts and disciplines.
