logical structure
Argument's underlying organization
Logical structure is the underlying framework of reasoning or organization in an argument, text, or system.
It concerns how parts connect and follow from one another—premises leading to conclusions, causes to effects, claims to evidence.
A paragraph may have clear logical structure even when poorly written, or read smoothly while lacking logical structure entirely.
