In fact, the Fathers of the Constitution made careful use of the expressions " it is incumbent upon of the King ", deliberately omitting other expressions such as " powers ", " faculties " or " competences ", thus eliminating any notion of monarchical prerogatives within the parliamentary monarchy.

Combinatory logic was developed with great ambitions: understanding the nature of paradoxes, making foundations of mathematics more economic ( conceptually ), eliminating the notion of variables ( thus clarifying their role in mathematics ).

Here the notion of causality is one of contributory causality as discussed above: If the true value, then a change in will result in a change in y unless some other causative variable ( s ), either included in the regression or implicit in the error term, change in such a way as to exactly offset its effect ; thus a change in is not sufficient to change y.

" While the Germanic word thus reflects a mythological notion of a " domain of Man " ( compare Midgard ), presumably as opposed to the divine sphere on the one hand and the chthonic sphere of the underworld on the other, the Greco-Latin term expresses a notion of creation as an act of establishing order out of chaos.

The manifesto thus combined elements of contemporary democratic and progressive thought ( franchise reform, labour reform, limited nationalisation, taxes on wealth and war profits ) with corporatist emphasis on class collaboration ( the idea of social classes existing side by side and collaborating for the sake of national interests ; the opposite of the Marxist notion of class struggle ).

" The notion of a confined grid may also be known as an intra-nodes cooperation whilst the notion of a larger, wider grid may thus refer to an inter-nodes cooperation ".

Siegfried Morenz has suggested ( Egyptian Religion ) " The reference to Thoth's authorship ... is based on ancient tradition ; the figure forty-two probably stems from the number of Egyptian nomes, and thus conveys the notion of completeness.

Many ancient Indian philosophies advocate the notion that all matter ( and thus humans ) is subtly interconnected with not only one's immediate surroundings, but with everything in the universe.

It was the development of computability theory ( also known as recursion theory ) that provided a precise explication of the intutitive notion of algorithmic computability, thus making the notion of recursive enumerability perfectly rigorous.

: 4. it " is the antonym of black English and is considered to be a language other than English " ( and thus a rejection of the notion of " African American Vernacular English " but nevertheless a term for what others term AAVE, viewed as an independent language and not a mere ethnolect ).

What is new here is that the above expresses the requirement for associativity without any explicit reference to individual morphisms in the enriched category C — again, these diagrams are for morphisms in hom-category M, and not in C — thus making the concept of associativity of composition meaningful in the general case where the hom-objects C ( a, b ) are abstract, and C itself need not even have any notion of individual morphism.

It thus became clear that the notion of mathematical truth can not be completely determined and reduced to a purely formal system as envisaged in Hilbert's program.

The failure of certain measurements ( such as the non-negative ratios in the example ) to be obtained at once, together from one and the same set of trials, and thus their failure to satisfy Wigner – d ' Espagnat inequalities, has been characterized as constituting disproof of Einstein's notion of local realism.

" Elegant " ( compact ) programs, " good " ( fast ) programs: The notion of " simplicity and elegance " appears informally in Knuth and precisely in Chaitin:

In this situation, F is called the lower adjoint of G and G is called the upper adjoint of F. Mnemonically, the upper / lower terminology refers to where the function application appears relative to ≤; the term adjoint relates the Galois connections to the notion with the same name from category theory as discussed further below.

Swift's notion of inverted burial might seem the highest flight of fancy, but it appears that among English millenarians the idea that the world would be " turned upside down " at the Apocalypse enjoyed some currency.

The same defect appears in the account of ethical judgment ; no amount of empirical fact can ever yield the notion of absolute duty.

But first we must analyse this notion of reality itself, to which our scepticism had already led us, for, though we could doubt whether the given is what it appears, we cannot doubt that it is something ; the conception of the real thus consists of the two conceptions of being and quality.

There are two principal ways in which the notion of virtual particles appears in modern physics.

The very notion of a " thing in itself " should be understood as an option of a set of functions for an operating mind, such that we consider something that appears without respect to the specific manner in which it appears.
