Calvin's more audacious step, in his research monograph The Cerebral Code, comes when he suggests that the pattern of action potentials in any particular neocortical minicolumn can be replicated and spread through the cortex like a piece of software code and be " played " on the millions of other minicolumns in the same way one can play a million copies of a compact disc ( CD ) on a million CD players – the key difference being that while all CD players are designed to do basically the same task, the various cortical minicolumns can all have their own unique " ruts " and the copies of the firing patterns are not exact duplicates.

The fundamental innovation is that this matrix can be used to produce many duplicates of the same letter.

where the M < sub > i </ sub > are finite meets of elements of G. Moreover, since both meet and join are commutative and idempotent, one can ignore duplicates and order, and represent a join of meets like the one above as a set of sets:

Care must be taken to avoid duplicates, since an interval might both begin and end within R. This can be done using a binary flag on each interval to mark whether or not it has been added to the result set.

This ordering can be used to prevent duplicate intervals from being inserted into the tree in O ( log n ) time, versus the O ( k + log n ) time required to find duplicates if k intervals overlap a new interval.

In the episode, Homer buys a magic hammock that can create duplicates of anyone who lies in it in " Send in the Clones "; Lisa's call to end gun violence resurrects undead outlaws in " The Fright to Creep and Scare Harms "; and Dr. Hibbert invites everyone in Springfield to his island resort where everyone is turned into half-man, half-animal mutants in " The Island of Dr. Hibbert ".

In particular, in a cubic planar graph ( one in which all vertices have exactly three neighbors, such as the cube ) it is possible to make duplicates of any independent set of vertices by performing Y-Δ transforms, adding multiple copies of the resulting triangle edges, and then performing the reverse Δ-Y transforms.

If the result consists of nodes, then duplicates are eliminated and the nodes are returned in document order, an ordering defined in terms of the relative positions of the nodes in the original XML tree.
