     There is an objective need to form a fundamentally new economic relation, and consequently, the transformation of the types of economic activities that constitute a new combination of economic growth sources under conditions of becoming of our country's national economy. The principled question which constitutes the scientific problem of the research is the development of the economic mechanism of the apagogical (tropomorphic) functioning at an industrial enterprise level, which includes, in particular, the formulation and decision of the objective for constructing of the metagressive system at an economic entity level, based on the development of the method of the consequent primary factor, the discovery of the categories of the eliminating ability of the metagressive system, an ascertainment of the traductive attribute of the sequence of elements of the metagressive system, the calculus of the endogenous variable of the ability for the distinguishing of the elements of the metagressive system, the formation and measurement of the aggregate of involution of a kind of compound of the elements of the metagressive system, that constitutes the readiness of the manufacturing basis of an industrial enterprise to eliminate its functional threshold in order to forestall a technological gap.

     Russian researcher A.P. Vasilenko offers his own definition and believes that the functional-parametric description applies to all types of phraseological units. “Based on a broad understanding, we consider different types of stable turnovers, however, in the vast majority of cases, we analyze phraseological units-idioms, which, it seems, more clearly reflect the specifics of national-cultural thinking. In line with the cognitive direction, the factors in the appearance of phraseological units in the language are the division of the world, characteristic of a given linguistic society, the actual language picture of the world, the associative complex, tropomorphic means, types of semantic motivation (historical and synchronous), also etymology, etc. ”
