What's the complement to minutiae?

Solution 1:

Perhaps also:
Comprehension from Latin comprehensiō (“taking together”), from com- (“with, together”) +‎ prehendō (“take”) wiktionary in the sense of all encompassing considerations,

or in a more colloquial vernacular:

Comprehensives as used for example, when speaking of PhD qualifying exams.

The added import of the comprehend root is of course understanding which is implied in the sense of minutiae as used above.
