Object kind sorts mathematical objects by their basic mathematical type, such as a sequence, a set or a function. Wikipedia defines the Fibonacci sequence as "a sequence in which each element is the sum of the two elements that precede it," a kind distinct from a shape, a group or a single number. This dimension groups objects that share the same underlying mathematical form.
