What is it called when a map maker eliminates 'unnessary information'?

Simplification
What is it called when a map maker chooses symbols?
Symbolification
- TIᑭᔕ
- -Don't use too many symbols, or the map becomes busy and hard to read.
- -Symbols should be intuitive.
- -Symbols need to be simple.
- -(Counterintuitive - symbols that don't make sense).
What is it called when a Georgrapher makes assumptions beyond the data? (Fills in the gaps).

Induction
What is it called when a map maker uses...
1. Equal Frequency (Splitting it up - map data).

2. Equal Interval (Taking the largest one and divide it into 5 chunks. Information isn't really spread out, and can look unpopulated).

3. Standard Breaks

4. Natural Breaks (Most accurate. Choropleth also uses this one).
