spectrum typology

spectrum typology
the study and organizing of objects or concepts that are often interchangeable in use; these objects/concepts have no clearly delineated, or universally accepted boundaries, demarcations, or definitions (or that have definitions that consistantly overlap each other)

I dont know if these phrases are idioms, metaphors, non-literal proverbs, or figurative maxims, or allusionary axioms, or indirect bromides, or relative truisms, or widely-received platitudes, or general mottos, or local tropes.
