I understand we're not trying to solve the problem, but to label it:

I'd agree with Michael that the notion of commutation in math is a good 
start.

"The commutational problem of classification" ?

Which would be best defined under electricity principles:

   1. _/Electricity./_
         1. Conversion of alternating to unidirectional current.
         2. Reversal of current direction.

You're kidding right? If you go with a Chilean wine you're sure it will 
be good ;)
....and as with all wine, you should let it breathe for at least 15 mins 
in your glass before drinking (in restaurant conditions), at home you 
uncork the bottle an hour before serving.
If you can find the Carmenere variety, better yet (goes with meat, 
poultry or pasta), a reserve: yum!.
