Abstract
kappa-space is used to picture the relative global properties of stell ar systems, including: giant elliptical galaxies; intermediate ellipti cal galaxies; bulges of SO galaxies; compact ellipticals; dwarf ellipt icals; early-type spiral galaxies; late-type spiral galaxies; irregula r galaxies; the giant spiral galaxies Malin 1 and Malin 2; galaxy grou ps and galaxy clusters. It is shown the relationships exist among and between these different stellar systems that raise questions of fundam ental importance that need to be answered if we are to understand the formation and evolution of these stellar systems.
