The indiscernibility argument points out that if bundle theory and discernible concrete particulars theory explain the relationship between attributes, then the identity of indiscernibles theory must also be true:

Subsequently, representations are gradually organized into logical structures which first operate on the concrete properties of the reality, in the stage of concrete operations, and then operate on abstract principles that organize concrete properties, in the stage of formal operations.

In normal usage, the client software creates a concrete implementation of the abstract factory and then uses the generic interfaces to create the concrete objects that are part of the theme.

( The different factory then creates objects of a different concrete type, but still returns a pointer of the same abstract type as before – thus insulating the client code from change.

In this work Jevons embodied the substance of his earlier works on pure logic and the substitution of similars ; he also enunciated and developed the view that induction is simply an inverse employment of deduction ; he treated in a luminous manner the general theory of probability, and the relation between probability and induction ; and his knowledge of the various natural sciences enabled him throughout to relieve the abstract character of logical doctrine by concrete scientific illustrations, often worked out in great detail.

Other types of formicariums are those made with plaster, ytong ( autoclaved aerated concrete or AAC ), or simply with no medium.

In this latter case, values are no more a matter for logical defence than are aesthetic judgements or matters of preferred flavours ; with the presumption of a necessity for logical defence coming simply from a different bias of value set ( one which seeks abstract universal guides that can be applied in a meaningful way by concrete personal beings ( humans )).

Thinking, being the condition in which truths are measured, in fact affirms thinking's own condition as truth, and when coupled with the idea that it generates thoughts which negate it, must the concrete be identified with thinking rather than simply being denied to thought, seen as abstract, and having that together assumed with thinking as denied also.

In most object-oriented systems, the concrete function that is called from a function call in the code depends on the dynamic type of a single object and therefore they are known as single dispatch calls, or simply virtual function calls.

Both wrestlers have stated that it was half of each others fault when Yamakawa did not take the move as it should be performed ; back first, though some even blame the Japanese tables, which are smaller, more sturdy and harder to break, the table in this incident did not break and simply slipped from underneath of Yamakawa thus only connecting with his legs, causing his head to take the impact on the concrete.

Besides the advantages offered by such a plan, in setting immediately before the eyes of the student the final results of the investigation in a more concrete form, and thereby rendering easier his insight into the nature of particular Indo-European languages, there is, I think, another of no less importance gained by it, namely that it shows the baselessness of the assumption that the non-Indian Indo-European languages were derived from Old-Indian ( Sanskrit ).
