** Normal dynamics, is a stochastic motion having a Gaussian probability density function in position with variance MSD that follows, MSD ~ t, where MSD is the mean squared displacement of the process, and t is the time the process is seen ( normal dynamics and Brownian dynamics are very similar ; the term used depends on the field )

It is either the collective term for ethics and aesthetics — philosophical fields that depend crucially on notions of value — or the foundation for these fields, and thus similar to value theory and meta-ethics.

In his two volume work The Open Society and Its Enemies, Karl Popper used the term " conspiracy theory " to criticize the ideologies driving fascism, nazism, and Stalinism.

Category theory is an area of study in mathematics that examines in an abstract way the properties of particular mathematical concepts, by formalising them as collections of objects and arrows ( also called morphisms, although this term also has a specific, non category-theoretical meaning ), where these collections satisfy some basic conditions.

Many scholars employ the term, especially those in the fields of history, cultural studies, and postcolonial theory.
