ABSTRACT
Structuralism has been an important ontology in nearly all the natural sciences, the social sciences, and the humanities for some time. It holds that structures, the organizing properties or blueprints of any system, are ubiquitous in both nature and cultures. So everything that is not indivisible in its very nature can be shown to have a structure and to exist as a complex whole amenable to the analysis of its constituent parts. And while that structure is seldom visible on the surface of the system, its elements and the laws or rules which dictate their relationships can be discovered.1
