Abstract
A simple framework is presented for unified applications in various fields of colloidal research, with minimal additional concepts & definitions. Several case studies concerning glass transition & crystallization are provided under the minimalist version, upon which adaptations can be made to suit more complicated topics. Major factors influencing accuracy are also discussed.
