  Dichotomy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In biology, a dichotomy is a division of organisms into two groups, typically based on a characteristic present in one group and absent in the other.
Such dichotomies are used as part of the process of identifying species, as part of a dichotomous key, which asks a series of questions, each of which narrows down the set of organisms.
In botany, a dichotomy is a mode of branching by repeated bifurcation.

In classical physics (and in general, in the modern approach to explanations of phenomena) a principle of dichotomy of laws and of initial conditions.
The traditional view, based on the dichotomy of laws and conditions as applied to the Universe was often associated with the view that theologians deal with initial conditions and physicists deal with the laws of evolution.
In this way the question of dichotomy of laws and conditions is settled through total subjection of initial conditions to initial laws, even at the cost of liquidating initial conditions as such.

Classical Athens, Ptolemaic Memphis, the Babylonian priesthood and Mycenaean Pylos each receive one chapter, sandwiched between the Roman bits.
The reasonable but hardly startling conclusion to which the argument of his chapter leads is that religious authority in Classical Athens was "shared out among a number of of groups comprising amateurs as well as experts, priests as well as 'laity'." (p.
90) The hypothesis finally proposed on the basis of this conclusion -- that "the diffusion of religious authority in Classical Athens mirrors the diffusion of political authority in the same period" (p.

Through the classical dichotomy of Dionysianism and Apollonianism, as they manifest themselves in the work of Victorian photographer Fred Holland Day and the post-Prohibition beefcake physique photography, aspects of the self image of an emerging and evolving gay sensibility are explored.
The relationship of esoteric and cultic images of languid and self-absorbed classical youths in Dionysian settings of some gay artists with the official and clean version of Apollonian classicism is discussed.
It is proposed that the resulting ubiquitous pre-packaged idealized signs of desire may be detrimental to personal exploration based on the imagination and lived experience of sexuality and identity in general.

Lucas did not agree with Kydland and Prescott on the exclusive focus of their model on the real as opposed to the monetary elements in explaining the economic fluctuations, and he suggested a ‘hybrid’ model, where attention is equally given to real and monetary phenomena.

An archaizing Homer could have known the habits of the Classical symposion and deliberately concealed them." Or, it could be that we do not define the symposium very exactly.

Classical economics postulates that the equivalent rise in savings would cause the interest rate to fall until investment rose to meet the rise in savings.
Classical analysis postulates that an increase in saving (a fall in consumption) will lead to an increase in investment equal to the fall in current consumption because the extra future demand makes it profitable to do so.
Associated with this New Classical policy analysis is Lucass econometric policy evaluation critique which argues that econometric results should not be used to direct policy because once a policy action is taken the underlying parameters of the econometric model change and the original policy prescribed would no longer be necessarily preferable.

 Chapter 1
The distinction, vital to the classical system of international trade theory, between the short-run mechanism of balance-of-payments adjustment and the static theory of barter was an important dimension of the classical dichotomy between monetary theory and value theory.
A major task of exposition in classical theory, therefore, was to demonstrate the automaticity of equilibrium through examination of the monetary adjustment process, and through this demonstration, the unimportance, in the long run, of monetary phenomena.
The classical school was interested in establishing the direction in which the terms of trade would move as a result of exogenous disturbances to equilibrium such as would arise from tariffs, hoarding, harvest failures, income transfers (or other remittances) and productivity changes.

Because the Classical model makes real wages perfectly flexible and allows it to adjust to the level that clears the labor market, the real wage and the level of employment can be figured out by using diagram two.
The separate treatment of the monetary sector and real sector is known as the 'Classical dichotomy.' To complete the model, diagrams three, four, and five are needed.
Because of the Classical dichotomy, diagram five is basically to show the breakdown of the use of income, or the demand for output, between expenditure on consumption and new capital goods.

The Classical model is of a closed economy and the variables are real output, employment, real and nominal wages, the price level, and the rate of interest.
In the classical model, the supply of labor depends upon the real-wage level because as the real wage rises, more people are willing to work.

The classical model is built on the foundations of supply and demand -- for labor, for loanable funds and for money.
This follows from the classical dichotomy -- the theoretical tenet that nominal variables (such as the money supply and the price level) do not influence real variables (such as real gross domestic product and unemployment).
The classical dichotomy allows macroeconomics to be broken up into smaller, more easily digested pieces.

 3.Money
While classical analysis had shown that money supply fluctuations may have real effects in the short run, in the 1960s Keynesians and Monetarists were debating their relative positions of money does not matter at all versus money is all that matters.
Monetarists, arguing along a similar line to the classical economists, see increases in the monetary supply impinging mainly on Y in the short-run but on P in the long-run (V and k are assumed to be stable functions).
Unlike the classical system increases in the money supply occur through banking operations, therefore using the analogy of dropping money from a helicopter and analysing the effects on spending as Friedman (1969) did is not the same as analysing the effects of an open market operation.

This second postulate was precisely that part of the classical vision that reduced unemployment to a matter of individual decision.
In the classical theory, the supply of and demand for capital jointly determined a quantity, namely the total volume of savings and investment, and a price, namely the rate of interest.

The classic debate as to whether one or two processes account for the operant/classical dichotomy reflects this entanglement (e.g., 9-14).
Thus, in practical terms, the bite occurs spontaneously and except for the reinforcement, all external stimuli are either constant or independent of the biting behavior. The nature of the reinforcement also rules out classical contamination by predictive ‘internal’ stimuli generated by other types of reinforcement.
With the development of in vivo and in vitro classical and operant procedures in Aplysia, the first detailed mechanistic comparison between operant and classical conditioning in the same preparation is within reach.  Ultimately, the tools now available in Aplysia will allow for studies of operant-classical interactions (e.g., 14).

One of the main imperfections emphasized by Keynesian macroeconomic theory is the presence of monopolistic or oligopolistic firms and labor unions.
So when we make the classical assumption that equilibrium output is always found where the output demand curve crosses with output supply, we are assuming that prices instantly, automatically adjust to the level at which there is no difference between demand and supply.
Graphically, the classical dichotomy means that we only need the real part of the model--- the output demand and supply curves--- to determine real equilibrium output.

 Real and Nominal Interest Rate Determination
The classical view of interest rate determination sees the interest rate as a price, determined by the supply and demand for loanable funds.
Short term interest rates will depend expected inflation in the near future, while longer term interest rates will depend on expected inflation into the more distant future (so that a ten year government bond will yield an interest rate which depends on the expected inflation rate in the next ten years).
The Fisher effect relates to the idea of a "classical dichotomy" in the macroeconomy — real variables are determined by real forces, and so changes in the rate of inflation will leave real variables such as the real interest rate unchanged.
