👉 Overformalized is a term that refers to a form of formalism or structure that is not yet fully developed or understood, but which has been introduced into a field or discipline. It can also refer to the process of formally defining and categorizing a subject in a way that is different from its standard understanding or terminology. Overformalized concepts are often used interchangeably with informalized concepts, as they both involve an attempt to define or categorize something in a specific manner.
