notion and physical

The debate about this notion as regards physicalism is to what extent mental phenomena exist independently of their ( supposed ) fundamental lowest level-the physical.
If on the other hand, we define the notion of what is physical based some future idealized physics, we have not effectively defined anything at all because nobody knows what entities a future physical theory might postulate.

Albert Einstein may have been the first person to carefully point out the radical effect the new quantum physics would have on our notion of physical state.
Once the notion that the universe started with a rapid inflation nicknamed the Big Bang became accepted by the majority of scientists, the ultimate fate of the universe became a valid cosmological question, one depending upon the physical properties of the mass / energy in the universe, its average density, and the rate of expansion.
Her audiences were struck by the contrast between her physical girlishness and the eloquence with which she spoke of spiritual matters, and found in that contrast support for the notion that spirits were speaking through her.
On one interpretation, although Buddhism rejects the notion of a permanent self, it does not reject the notion of an empirical self ( composed of constantly changing physical and mental phenomena ) that can be conveniently referred to with words such as " I ", " you ", " being ", " individual ", etc.

notion and dimension
This intrinsic notion of dimension is one of the chief ways the mathematical notion of dimension differs from its common usages.
The Hausdorff dimension generalizes the notion of the dimension of a real vector space.
The Hausdorff dimension defines the size notion of dimension, which requires a notion of radius, or metric.
The packing dimension is yet another similar notion.
The question concerning corporeity connects also with Merleau-Ponty's reflections on space ( l ' espace ) and the primacy of the dimension of depth ( la profondeur ) as implied in the notion of being in the world ( être au monde ; to echo Heidegger's In-der-Welt-sein ) and of one's own body ( le corps propre ).
Postmodern also brought a break from the notion that planning and architecture could result in social reform, which was an integral dimension of the plans of Modernism ( Simonsen 1990 ).
In geometry, a simplex ( plural simplexes or simplices ) is a generalization of the notion of a triangle or tetrahedron to arbitrary dimension.
This property suggests a deep theory of dimension for Noetherian rings beginning with the notion of the Krull dimension.
In geometry, a hyperplane of an n-dimensional space V is a " flat " subset of dimension n − 1, or equivalently, of codimension 1 in V ; it may therefore be referred to as an ( n − 1 )- flat of V. The space V may be a Euclidean space or more generally an affine space, or a vector space or a projective space, and the notion of hyperplane varies correspondingly ; in all cases however, any hyperplane can be given in coordinates as the solution of a single ( due to the " codimension 1 " constraint ) algebraic equation of degree 1 ( due to the " flat " constraint ).
Muir biographer Steven Holmes notes that Muir used words like " glory " and " glorious " to suggest that light was taking on a religious dimension: " It is impossible to overestimate the importance of the notion of glory in Muir's published writings, where no other single image carries more emotional or religious weight ," adding that his words " exactly parallels its Hebraic origins ," in which biblical writings often indicate a divine presence with light, as in the burning bush or pillar of fire, and described as " the glory of God.
Because these definitions of saturation – in which very dark ( in both models ) or very light ( in HSL ) near-neutral colors, for instance or are considered fully saturated – conflict with the intuitive notion of color purity, often a conic or bi-conic solid is drawn instead (), with what this article calls chroma as its radial dimension, instead of saturation.
Tits later reworked the foundational aspects of the theory of buildings using the notion of a chamber system, encoding the building solely in terms of adjacency properties of simplices of maximal dimension ; this leads to simplifications in both spherical and affine cases.
In terms of that notion, the fractal dimension of a coastline quantifies how the number of scaled measuring sticks required to measure the coastline changes with the scale applied to the stick.
Finally, the notion of Gauss map can be generalized to an oriented submanifold X of dimension k in an oriented ambient Riemannian manifold M of dimension n. In that case, the Gauss map then goes from X to the set of tangent k-planes in the tangent bundle TM.
This is formalized by the notion of Kodaira dimension of a variety, and by this measure projective spaces are the most special varieties, though there are other equally special ones, meaning having negative Kodaira dimension.

notion and quantity
The basic notion " frustration " of the spin-glass is actually similar to the Wilson loop quantity of the QCD.
This was then used to define the " quantity of motion " ( today called momentum ), and the principle of inertia in which mass replaces the previous Cartesian notion of intrinsic force.
A closely related notion of curvature comes from gauge theory in physics, where the curvature represents a field and a vector potential for the field is a quantity that is in general path-dependent: it may change if an observer moves around a loop.

In economics, marginal concepts are associated with a specific change in the quantity used of a good or service, as opposed to some notion of the over-all significance of that class of good or service, or of some total quantity thereof.
McDonaldization developed the notion that quantity equals quality, and that a large amount of product delivered to the customer in a short amount of time is the same as a high quality product.
