This page names the broader body of theory that a specific scientific concept belongs to. Wikipedia notes that science "builds and organises knowledge in the form of testable explanations about nature and society," knowledge that groups individual concepts into larger connected bodies of theory. Browsing this way moves between a concept and the wider theory that contains it.
