Fig. 9 — Resolution-Based Representation (RBR) and Resolution-Based Countability Representation (RBCR) Granularity Perspective. The different levels of the RBR granular perspective are granulated according to the has coarser granular representation relation (the white broad arrows). The granulation is of the scale dependent grain-size-according-to-resolution granularity type (sgrG [61]). The two levels of each of the two RBCR granular perspectives, on the other hand, are granulated according to the has coarser non-countable granular representation relation and the has finer countable granular representation relation, respectively (dotted gray arrows). Their granulation is of the scale dependent grain-size-according-to-resolution granularity type (sgrG [61]). All three perspectives use the combination of the granulation relation together with the scale provided through the set of different spatio-structural frames of reference that are sequentially ordered through the associated CBB granular perspective (i.e., the building block levels hierarchy). As a consequence, the RBR granular perspective comprises six granularity levels, whereas the two RBCR granular perspectives each comprise only two granularity levels, because their granulation relation is not transitive (its domain and range differ)
