If the universe is reduced to molecules, ultimately we can dispense with a catalogue and a dictionary ; all things are the same thing, and all words are just sounds – molecules in motion.

If a PA system's microphone picks up sounds from its own loudspeakers, and these sounds are re-amplified enough, the effect of this feedback can be loud squealing or howling noises from the loudspeakers.

If a microphone picks up the amplified sound output of loudspeakers in the same circuit, then howling and screeching sounds of audio feedback ( at up to the maximum power capacity of the amplifier ) will be heard, as random noise is re-amplified by positive feedback and filtered by the characteristics of the audio system and the room.

⟨ H ⟩, be the group generated by H. Then the word problem in H < sup >*</ sup > is solvable: given two words h, k in the generators H of H < sup >*</ sup >, write them as words in X and compare them using the solution to the word problem in G. It is easy to think that this demonstrates a uniform solution the word problem for the class K ( say ) of finitely generated groups that can be embedded in G. If this were the case the non-existence of a universal solvable word problem group would follow easily from Boone-Rogers.

These authors asked people to compare written statements about the relations between several variables to graphs illustrating the same or a different relation, as in the following sentence: " If the cake is from France, then it has more sugar if it is made with chocolate than if it is made with cream, but if the cake is from Italy, then it has more sugar if it is made with cream than if it is made of chocolate.
