Particular attention is paid to the manifestation of this principle at the level of genre organization of texts and at the level of semantic and character components of works. The relevance of the study is due to the identification of the semantic constant of the metacycle about Erast Fandorin. It has been proved that the principle of taxonomy in the Fandorin corpus has two variants of manifestation — at the level of metacycle organization and at the level of semantics of the key motive of a classic detective — explaining the method used by the detective.
