The sequence of movements in a Cunningham dance is unlike any sequence to be seen in life.

The sequence is determined by chance, and Mr. Cunningham makes use of any one of several chance devices.

When the same sequence is equivalent in meaning to I have instructions which I am to leave, dominant stress is ordinarily on instructions.

the fire of love is dead, and Hardy stands, as the speaker does in the last poem of the sequence, over the burnt circle of charred sticks, and thinks of past happiness and present grief, honest and uncomforted.

The essential characteristic of an optimal policy when the state of the stream is transformed in a sequence of stages with no feedback was first isolated by Bellman.

The sequence of equations ( 6 ) can be solved for Af when Af is known, and clearly Af, the maximization being over all admissible Af.

This sequence of equations may be started with the remark that with no process Af there is no profit, i.e., Af.

I am sure that nothing within me is capable of composing that life-like sequence, so complete in detail, from the hodge-podge of news pictures I have seen.

The physical film is cut with a knife at the end of one complete sequence, and the cut edge is joined physically, by cement, to the cut edge of the beginning of the next sequence.

Animation is the rapid display of a sequence of images to create an illusion of movement.

This type of presentation is usually accomplished with a camera and a projector or a computer viewing screen which can rapidly cycle through images in a sequence.

In later Pahlavi papyri, up to half of the remaining graphic distinctions of these twelve letters were lost, and the script could no longer be read as a sequence of letters at all, but instead each word had to be learned as a whole — that is, they had become logograms as in Egyptian Demotic.

It is unknown whether the earliest alphabets had a defined sequence.

While there is no generally accepted formal definition of " algorithm ," an informal definition could be " a set of rules that precisely defines a sequence of operations.

There is a wide variety of representations possible and one can express a given Turing machine program as a sequence of machine tables ( see more at finite state machine, state transition table and control table ), as flowcharts ( see more at state diagram ), or as a form of rudimentary machine code or assembly code called " sets of quadruples " ( see more at Turing machine ).

The order is clearly circumscribed on the basis of DNA sequence analysis, but is difficult to define morphologically, since its members are structurally diverse.

If the method is applied to an infinite sequence ( X < sub > i </ sub >: i ∈ ω ) of nonempty sets, a function is obtained at each finite stage, but there is no stage at which a choice function for the entire family is constructed, and no " limiting " choice function can be constructed, in general, in ZF without the axiom of choice.

It is an open question, and one central to the theory and practice of cryptography, whether there is any way to distinguish the output of a high-quality PRNG from a truly random sequence without knowing the algorithm ( s ) used and the state with which it was initialized.

The security of most cryptographic algorithms and protocols using PRNGs is based on the assumption that it is infeasible to distinguish use of a suitable PRNG from use of a truly random sequence.

An example of this is one-time pad cryptography, where every cleartext bit has a corresponding key from a truly random sequence of key bits.

If the arbitrary area for excavation is wisely chosen, the sequence should be revealed and excavation can return to a truly stratigraphic method.

Similar concepts apply at the molecular level — some nucleic acid sequences in eukaryotic genomes have no known biological function ; some of them may be " junk DNA ", but it is a difficult matter to demonstrate that a particular sequence in a particular region of a given genome is truly nonfunctional.

They also developed the notion of " local randomness ", noting that in any sufficiently long sequence of truly random digits there would be sets which would look exceedingly unrandom ( such as a string of many zeros together ).

Although often labeled as the third book in the series, it is not truly part of the main UrNu sequence.

In articulating the laws of archaeological stratigraphy and developing a system in which to demonstrate simply and graphically the sequence of deposition or truncation on a site, Harris, it has been argued, has followed in the footsteps of the truly great stratigraphic archaeologists such as Mortimer Wheeler, without necessarily being a great excavator himself.

" The rape sequence is seen as a " surreal and truly disgusting flashback " and the title of the film itself deemed " sleazy ".

Most philosophical conceptions of randomness are global — because they are based on the idea that " in the long run " a sequence looks truly random, even if certain sub-sequences would not look random.

In a " truly " random sequence of numbers of sufficient length, for example, it is probable there would be long sequences of nothing but zeros, though on the whole the sequence might be random.

At the final scene of this sequence, Yong-ho is shown sleeping with Hong-ja, whom it is shown he never truly cared about.

According to this view, " after observing a long run of red on the roulette wheel, for example, most people erroneously believe that black will result in a more representative sequence than the occurrence of an additional red ", so people expect that a short run of random outcomes should share properties of a longer run, specifically in that deviations from average should balance out.

When people are asked to make up a random-looking sequence of coin tosses, they tend to make sequences where the proportion of heads to tails stays closer to 0. 5 in any short segment than would be predicted by chance ( insensitivity to sample size ); Kahneman and Tversky interpret this to mean that people believe short sequences of random events should be representative of longer ones.

Shannon's entropy represents an absolute limit on the best possible lossless compression of any communication, under certain constraints: treating messages to be encoded as a sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables, Shannon's source coding theorem shows that, in the limit, the average length of the shortest possible representation to encode the messages in a given alphabet is their entropy divided by the logarithm of the number of symbols in the target alphabet.

Joseph Mauborgne ( then a captain in the U. S. Army and later chief of the Signal Corps ) recognized that the character sequence on the key tape could be completely random and that, if so, cryptanalysis would be more difficult.

If an individual coin toss or the roll of dice is considered to be a random event, then if repeated many times the sequence of random events will exhibit certain patterns, which can be studied and predicted.

In computer science, random access ( sometimes called direct access ) is the ability to access an element at an arbitrary position in a sequence in equal time, independent of sequence size.

Let be a random sample of size n — that is, a sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables drawn from distributions of expected values given by µ and finite variances given by σ < sup > 2 </ sup >.

Although it seems to lack any definite pattern, pseudo random noise consists of a deterministic sequence of pulses that will repeat itself after its period.

* Like random noise, the local sequence has a very low correlation with any other sequence in the set, or with the same sequence at a significantly different time offset, or with narrow band interference, or with thermal noise.

* Unlike random noise, it must be easy to generate exactly the same sequence at both the transmitter and the receiver, so the receiver's locally generated sequence has a very high correlation with the transmitted sequence.

In a frequency-hopping spread spectrum sequence, each value in the pseudo random sequence is known as a channel number and the inverse of its period as the hop rate.

A local station generates a pseudo random bit sequence and transmits it to the remote location ( using any modulation technique ).

A pseudo noise code ( PN code ) is one that has a spectrum similar to a random sequence of bits but is deterministically generated.

* A random sequence obtained from a stochastic process.

* An algorithmically random sequence in algorithmic information theory.

* The effective length of the random sequence of an additive scrambler is limited by the frame length, which is normally much shorter than the period of the PRBS.

By adding frame numbers to the frame sync, it is possible to extend the length of the random sequence, by varying the random sequence in accordance with the frame number.
