Mathematical Analysis. Another way to analyse the differences between the tools is by means of symbolic language. In order to analyse mathematically to which extent observed differences are fundamental or not, it is first of all needed to phrase the tools in terms that are as much as possible similar. For instance, when it is said that LCA uses characteri- sation factors whereas ▇▇▇▇ does not, it is necessary to investigate whether the tools do so for reasons that are primarily historical or practical, or for fundamental reasons. In the Appendix, we will show how the rephrasing of HERA-practice with characterisation factors helps to understand which differences between LCA and ▇▇▇▇ indeed are fundamental and which are not. Four differences are investigated mathematically: the use of a functional unit, the mode of analysis, the area, and the aggregation of impacts. The ‘mode of analysis’ is a new concept, introduced by ▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ et al. (2000). It indicates the differ- ence between full mode, where only processes in their full size are taken into ac- count as in HERA, and attribution mode, where processes are taken into account only as far as they are related to a given reference as in LCIA. It is concluded that the first two are fundamental differences, the latter two secondary differences depending on the scope of the study.
