If S contains two elements that are not pairwise orthogonal ( in particular, the set of all quantum states includes such pairs ) then an argument like that given above shows that the answer is no.

The algorithm for deciding this is conceptually simple: it constructs ( the description of ) a new program t taking an argument n which ( 1 ) first executes program a on input i ( both a and i being hard-coded into the definition of t ), and ( 2 ) then returns the square of n. If a ( i ) runs forever, then t will never get to step ( 2 ), regardless of n. Then clearly, t is a function for computing squares if and only if step ( 1 ) terminates.

If it were different, states would not have the right, nor be in a position, to maintain that minimum of order on which all civilized life rests .” Calling the concept a “ red herring ” he stated: “ This argument has been used by the terrorists themselves, arguing that there is no difference between their activities and those by governments and states.

If unbelief, incorrect beliefs, or poor design are considered evils, then the argument from nonbelief, the argument from inconsistent revelations, and the argument from poor design may be seen as particular instances of the argument from evil.

Thomas Aquinas made this argument in the 13th century, writing, " If a thing can be done adequately by means of one, it is superfluous to do it by means of several ; for we observe that nature does not employ two instruments one suffices.

If Canada holds that the principle of natural prolongation applies to the Juan de Fuca Canyon on its Pacific Ocean coast, the assertion could undermine Canada's argument in the Gulf of Maine boundary dispute.

If all surviving societies have found it necessary to impose some of the same restrictions upon the behavior of their members, this makes a strong argument that these aspects of the moral code are indispensable.

If this argument holds, and facts are taken to be what true statements stand for, then we reach the counter-intuitive conclusion that there is only one fact-" the truth ".

If both premises are true, the terms are clear and the rules of deductive logic are followed, then the conclusion of the argument follows by logical necessity.

If the latter argument is accepted, then the Republic of China may have ceased to be a state post-1971 as a matter of international law (" de jure "), yet continued to otherwise function as the state that it previously was recognised as (" de facto ").

If your source directly quotes or supports your argument ( meaning you either used no signal or " see " in front of your citation ) then you probably do not need a parenthetical.

If yes, then parentheticals may clarify how those sources individually contribute to the argument.

Another common argument is: " If you aren't doing something wrong then you don't have anything to fear.

If we look at recent art we find it preoccupied with form.

If the existent form is to be retained new factors that reinforce it must be introduced into the situation.

If there are any major restrictions, they usually can be obtained in printed form.

If cell Af has not previously been assigned as the information cell of a form in the text-form list, it is now assigned as the information cell of Af.

If Af was assigned as the information cell for Af, the routine can detect that Af is identical to Af by comparing Af with the form stored at location Af.

If each text form is marked when matched with a dictionary form, the text forms not contained in the dictionary can be identified when all dictionary forms have been read.

If cell Af is an information cell, it and any information cells in the Y-region that have been linked to Af each contain an address in the W-region where a potentially matching form is stored.

If cell Af is not an information cell we conclude that the i-th dictionary form is not in the text list.

If a litigant chooses to enforce a Federal right in a State court, he cannot be heard to object if he is treated exactly as are plaintiffs who press like claims arising under State law with regard to the form in which the claim must be stated -- the particularity, for instance, with which a cause of action must be described.

If communication with an entity on the `` other side '' is taking place, this too may assume the form of clairvoyant symbolism.

If the content of faith is to be presented today in a form that can be `` understanded of the people '' -- and this, it must not be forgotten, is one of the goals of the perennial theological task -- there is no other choice but to abandon completely a mythological manner of representation.

If this aspect of death as punishment is not distinguished from the idea of death as natural termination, the conclusion seems inevitable that temporal existence itself is a form of punishment rather than the state into which man is put by the will of the Creator.

If the automorphisms of an object X form a set ( instead of a proper class ), then they form a group under composition of morphisms.

If its molecular form is changed, a tolerogen can become an immunogen.

If an otherwise perfect wavefront is " aberrated " by piston and tilt, it will still form a perfect, aberration-free image, only shifted to a different position.

If nature cannot err, then there are no paradoxes in it ; to Hobbes, the paradox is a form of the absurd, which is inconsistency: " Natural sense and imagination, are not subject to absurdity " and " For error is but a deception ...

" If the remainder of the Conservative Party could muster the electoral support necessary to form a government, then Disraeli was now guaranteed high office.

If the joining of monomers takes place at such a carbon atom, the free hydroxy group of the pyranose or furanose form is exchanged with an OH-side-chain of another sugar, yielding a full acetal.

If BCG is accidentally given subcutaneously, then a local abscess may form ( a BCG-oma ) that can sometimes ulcerate, and may require treatment with antibiotics.

* Indicative conditional, a conditional in the form of " If A then B " in natural languages

If and, then this abbreviated form is written in Leibniz notation as:

If n ≥ 1 and is an integer, the numbers coprime to n, taken modulo n, form a group with multiplication as operation ; it is written as ( Z / nZ )< sup >×</ sup > or Z < sub > n </ sub >< sup >*</ sup >.

If a main-sequence star is not too massive ( less than approximately 8 solar masses ), it will eventually shed enough mass to form a white dwarf having mass below the Chandrasekhar limit, which will consist of the former core of the star.
