Tech/Engineering - IT (Information Technology)
Spanish term or phrase: fundamentos
My first thought was "elements" but then elementos comes up in the text, too. Nothing else really comes to mind. Features?

A continuación se definen los fundamentos que permiten comprender el comportamiento de cada uno de los elementos de AwToolkit. Finalmente se completará la presente sección con una descripción de cada AwWidget desarrollado.
3.1 Fundamentos
El principal fundamento de AwToolkit es la capacidad de cada uno de los widgets de detectar la mirada del usuario y en base a ello mostrar cambios cuando mira de nuevo a la pantalla del propio widget.

Explanation:
It seems to be an aspect of the device, so "aspect" or "feature" would be normal-sounding options.

And you could also use "fundametals". But I'd choose "principles".

Oh, OK. There must be something I'm not completely understanding then. What is it exactly that's making you think twice?

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks. I'd thought of these possibilities, obviously, but I'm not sure they're right here.

Asker: Probably the fact that I'm not an IT expert. In another area I'd have no problem with "fundamentos". However, principles is beginning to sound more like it!
