n-Dimensional Hypercontexts

Polyadic concept analysis is the generalisation of formal concept analysis in which more than two dimensions are considered. Little is known about how adding dimensions impacts the formation of concepts. In this paper, we observe that concepts are not monotonous w.r.t dimensions and propose a modification of the framework in which they are. We argue that this monotonicity is fundamental in polyadic concept analysis, and that it allows for the study of dimensions and how they produce concepts.
