formalisation
Structuring into rules
Formalisation is the British spelling of formalization—the process of making something official, structured, or explicit.
What was once informal or implicit becomes codified: the formalisation of workplace policies, the formalisation of an agreement into a contract.
In logic and mathematics, formalisation converts reasoning into symbolic notation with precise rules.
