The breadth, depth or reach of an Entity; a domain.
All perspectives have a scope.
Since scope of this Philosophy is Existence/God, the resolution starts low. The Cosmic Scale is a demonstration of scope (at different scales) in the physical universe.
This philosophy defines abstractions in relation to Existence. Words, when applied to narrower scopes (than Existence), have different meanings. It is a tool that provides awareness & degrees of freedom to create systems with various scopes.
Human Beings can focus on a finite amount of complexity which is much less than the scope of Existence. This means humans must utilize abstractions to create systems that can be focused upon, lest the human becomes overwhelmed and not effective.
You can zoom in & out of the system to observe details & patterns.
