The numerosity and representativity of the available cancer registries also put constraints on the geographical classification.
For the remaining cells, the result is logically deducible on the basis of information about relative numerosity alone; if one knows the relative numerosity of the initial amounts and the relative numerosity of the amounts involved in the transformations, then the relative numerosity of the final amounts can be deduced logically.
The arguments for domain specificity and numerosity are several, but a few key ones involve problem specificity and combinatorial explosion.
