Whitehead contends that the human way of understanding existence as a unity of interlocking and interdependent processes which constitute each other and which cause each other to be and not to be is possible only because the basic form of such an understanding, for all its vagueness and tendency to mistake the detail, is initially given in the way man feels the world.

William Wimsatt and Cleanth Brooks, it seems to me, have a penetrating insight into the way in which this control is effected: `` For if we say poetry is to talk of beauty and love ( and yet not aim at exciting erotic emotion or even an emotion of Platonic esteem ) and if it is to talk of anger and murder ( and yet not aim at arousing anger and indignation ) -- then it may be that the poetic way of dealing with these emotions will not be any kind of intensification, compounding, or magnification, or any direct assault upon the affections at all.

The whole role, by the way, is a considerable transformation for anyone who has seen Seigner in his other parts.

This transformation group characterisation of equivalence relations differs fundamentally from the way lattices characterize order relations.

Transubstantiation is the term used by Roman Catholics to denote what is changed, not to explain how the transformation occurs, since the Catholic Church teaches that " the signs of bread and wine become, in a way surpassing understanding, the Body and Blood of Christ ".

In his preaching, he often emphasized the Quaker rejection of baptism by water ; this was a useful way of highlighting how the focus of Friends on inward transformation differed from what he saw as the superstition of outward ritual.

This image transformation generally requires digital signal processing, so letterboxing was the only way in which films were presented in widescreen on home video prior to the DVD format ( with a few exceptions outside the mass market, such as Squeeze LD ).

This transformation is called currying, i. e. transforming a function that takes multiple arguments in such a way that it can be called as a chain of functions each with a single argument ( partial application ).

In category theory, a branch of mathematics, a natural transformation provides a way of transforming one functor into another while respecting the internal structure ( i. e. the composition of morphisms ) of the categories involved.

In this way, a certain transformation exhibited by cells is dependent on a role that tyrosine kinase demonstrates.

The usual usage of the term ' transformation ' in linguistics refers to a rule that takes an input typically called the Deep Structure ( in the Standard Theory ) or D-structure ( in the extended standard theory or government and binding theory ) and changes it in some restricted way to result in a Surface Structure ( or S-structure ).

This transformation is defined in such a way that the first principal component has the largest possible variance ( that is, accounts for as much of the variability in the data as possible ), and each succeeding component in turn has the highest variance possible under the constraint that it be orthogonal to ( i. e., uncorrelated with ) the preceding components.

Ovid works his way through his subject matter, often in an apparently arbitrary fashion, by jumping from one transformation tale to another, sometimes retelling what had come to be seen as central events in the world of Greek mythology and sometimes straying in odd directions.
