To form a concept, one mentally isolates a group of concretes ( of distinct perceptual units ), on the basis of observed similarities which distinguish them from all other known concretes ( similarity is ' the relationship between two or more existents which possess the same characteristic ( s ), but in different measure or degree '); then, by a process of omitting the particular measurements of these concretes, one integrates them into a single new mental unit: the concept, which subsumes all concretes of this kind ( a potentially unlimited number ).

After some weeks ' negotiation, in the course of which the firmness and moderation of " The Great Commoner ", as he had come to be called, contrasted favourably with the characteristic tortuosities of the crafty peer, matters were settled on such a basis that, while Newcastle was the nominal, Pitt was the virtual head of the government.

If the vector space is over a field K, then a basis on which the matrix has the required form exists if and only if all eigenvalues of M lie in K, or equivalently if the characteristic polynomial of the operator splits into linear factors over K. This condition is always satisfied if K is the field of complex numbers.

When the theory was put on an organised basis around 1950 ( with the definitions reduced to homotopy theory ) it became clear that the most fundamental characteristic classes known at that time ( the Stiefel-Whitney class, the Chern class, and the Pontryagin classes ) were reflections of the classical linear groups and their maximal torus structure.

If the characteristic of the field does not divide the order of G, then there is an inner product defined on this space defined by where | G | denotes the order of G. The set of irreducible characters of G forms an orthogonal basis, and if K is a splitting field for G, for instance if K is algebraically closed, then the irreducible characters form an orthonormal basis.

In the case of finite fields, this means that each of the basis elements is related to any one of them by applying the p-th power mapping repeatedly, where p is the characteristic of the field.

It is based on the fact that the vector space can be canonically decomposed into a direct sum of stable subspaces corresponding to the distinct irreducible factors P of the characteristic polynomial ( as stated by the lemme des noyaux ), where the characteristic polynomial of each summand is a power of the corresponding P. These summands can be further decomposed, non-canonically, as a direct sum of cyclic F-modules ( like is done for the Frobenius normal form above ), where the characteristic polynomial of each summand is still a ( generally smaller ) power of P. The primary rational canonical form is a block diagonal matrix corresponding to such a decomposition into cyclic modules, with a particular form called generalized Jordan block in the diagonal blocks, corresponding to a particular choice of a basis for the cyclic modules.
