in working with these patients the therapist eventually gets to do some at least private mulling over of the possible meaning of a belch, or the passage of flatus, not only because he is reduced to this for lack of anything else to analyze, but also because he learns that even these animal-like sounds constitute forms of communication in which, from time to time, quite different things are being said, long before the patient can become sufficiently aware of these, as distinct feelings and concepts, to say them in words.

Another way of putting the argument is to say computational computer programs can pass the Turing test for processing the syntax of a language, but that semantics cannot be reduced to syntax in the way Strong AI advocates hoped: processing semantics is conscious and intentional because we use semantics to consciously produce meaning by what we say.

Another consequence of the Buckingham π theorem of dimensional analysis is that the functional dependence between a certain number ( say, n ) of variables can be reduced by the number ( say, k ) of independent dimensions occurring in those variables to give a set of p = n − k independent, dimensionless quantities.

We say that the base generates the topology T. Bases are useful because many properties of topologies can be reduced to statements about a base generating that topology, and because many topologies are most easily defined in terms of a base which generates them.

They say, for example, that the rubrics have reduced the number of genuflections and other gestures associated with reverence for the sacred elements ; that phrases such as " spiritual drink " are deliberately ambiguous ; and that the GIRM directs the removal of the tabernacle from its previous place on the main altar to another part of the church ( albeit one that is " truly noble, prominent, readily visible, beautifully decorated and suitable for prayer " – GIRM 314 ).

When the PV is within, say 10 ° of the SP the heat input begins to be reduced by the proportional controller.

As the temperature approaches, say 30 ° below SP ( 60 ° proportional band or PB now ), the heat input begins to be reduced, the rate of heating of the furnace has time to slow and, as the heat is still further reduced, it eventually is brought up to set point, just as 50 % power input is reached and the furnace is operating as required.

In the example of the furnace above working at various temperatures, if the heat being applied does not bring the furnace up to setpoint, for whatever reason, integral action increasingly moves the proportional band relative to the setpoint until the PV error is reduced to zero and the setpoint is achieved. In the furnace example, suppose the temperature is increasing towards a set point at which, say, 50 % of the available power will be required for steady-state.

When the PV is within, say 10 ° of the SP the heat input begins to be reduced by the proportional controller.
