	Complementarity, Bell’s Theorem, and the Framework of Process Metaphysics
		Since complementarity is generally read as a way of "explaining" either the indeterminacy relations or wave-particle dualism, it is not widely understood that Bohr arrived at his position essentially through an analysis of classical physics.
		Indeed, Bohr argues that the complementarity of particle and wave "pictures" is a consequence of the fact that observation must be theoretically represented as an interaction in which one of the interacting physical systems is understood to be the real object which quantum theory attempts to describe.
		From the viewpoint of complementarity, the negative outcome of experiments testing Bell’s inequality is a victory that could have been expected because the arguments from which the inequality is derived commit the very same fallacies that Whitehead named in his critique of the classical framework.

	Complementarity (physics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In physics, complementarity is a basic principle of quantum theory closely identified with the Copenhagen interpretation, and refers to effects such as the wave-particle duality, in which different measurements made on a system reveal it to have either particle-like or wave-like properties.
		Complementarity or wave-particle duality is considered to be one of the distinguishing characteristics of quantum mechanics, whose theoretical and experimental development has been honoured by more than a few Nobel Prizes for Physics.
		Demonstrates that complementarity is enforced, and quantum interference effects destroyed, by decoherence (irreversible object-apparatus correlations), and not, as was previously popularly believed, by Heisenberg's uncertainty principle itself.

	Interpersonal Complementarity--Meta-Analysis
		The effect size of complementarity was found to be large, but homogeneity was achieved only after eliminating half of the studies as "outliers." Possible mediating factors examined include global or summative ratings versus sequence of behaviors, and document source (published versus unpublished).
		The interpersonal principle of complementarity specifies ways in which a person's interpersonal behavior evokes restricted classes of behavior from an interactional partner, leading to a self-sustaining and reinforcing system.
		The principle of complementarity is defined on the Interpersonal Circle, such that reciprocity tends (probabilistically) to occur on the power axis (dominance elicits submission, and submission elicits dominance), and correspondence tends (probabilistically) to occur on the affiliation axis (friendliness elicits friendliness, and hostility elicits hostility).

	Complementarity and reconciliation
		Complementarity is a general epistemological principle, which should apply to all the domains of human thought and activity - from the hard sciences of physics and biology to the study of man, society and morality.
		If the principle of complementarity has any place at all in the description of living organisms, this place may lie outside the strict domain of biological research, and concern the perception of the living creature as a subject with which one can sympathize, identifying oneself with its feeling of purpose.
		The idea of complementarity suggests a different approach, much more modest, which is perhaps the only way to cope with the conflicting accounts of reality which today cannot be denied their claim to validity.

		The belief that Bohr designed complementarity simply as his analysis of the uncertainty principle is historically unfounded, but it is a natural mistake, for he was anxious to show how complementarity explains the uncertainty principle.
		Complementarity was the consequence for a conceptual framework in which phenomena are described, while Heisenberg's discovery was its formal mathematical consequence.
		At the same time, the framework of complementarity cannot be coherent if it ignores the question of how to refer to this "independent reality" which in interacting with observational instruments produces the phenomena which are described by the theory.

	Can the Principle of Complementarity Unite The Natural and Cultural Sciences?
		He presented complementarity to account for conceptually incompatible results from different experiments---in one experiment light showed itself to be a particle, in another it appeared as a wave.
		The goal of this essay is to explore the relationship between Jedrzejewski's ontological platform and Bohr's principal of complementarity as a foundation that may serve to integrate the natural and social sciences.
		Hypothesizing that the principle of complementarity forms the foundation of an essential order in nature and culture, and combining complementarity with Jedrzejewski's ontological definitions we are able to classify analogically the complementary relationships between the various sciences and their subject matter.

	New in AMPL: Complementarity Problems
		Indeed, optimization may be viewed as a special case of complementarity, since the standard optimality conditions for linear and smooth nonlinear optimization are complementarity problems.
		Complementarity models can thereby be formulated in a natural way, and instances of such models are easily sent to special solvers for complementarity problems.
		The requirements for a new complementarity constraint operator can be shown by considering one of the simplest examples: the linear complementarity problem that gives optimality conditions for a linear program.

	The Reference Frame: Violation of complementarity?
		In the complementarity principle, we first determine which set of photons we consider, and then we calculate both V as well as K from this set of photons.
		And of course, the conventional quantum mechanics is compatible with the principle of complementarity.
		This is the opposite of the traditional experiment showing complementarity where you first try to measure which slit the photon came from, disallowing a subsequent observation of an interference pattern.

	Folse3
		Complementarity, as conceived by Bohr, requires that both matter and radiation be described through seemingly contradictory "pictures" of particles and waves.
		This paradoxical nature of complementarity is due to the classical tendency to regard these pictures as representations of objects having an "independent reality", the properties of which correspond to the properties of the "visualizable pictures".
		Complementarity does not assume that these phenomenal properties which confirm the theoretical interactions are a causal effect of corresponding properties possessed by an independent reality existing apart from the observed interactions.

	Complementarity (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		The notion of complementarity is often cited in Synergetics, but it is not defined and is more problematical than might first appear.
		The crucial point of the principle is that the experimental act of measuring one of the given pair of quantities destroys the possibility of measuring the other.
		The principle covers the case of the wave-particle duality, in the sense that observing light as waves precludes observing it as particles, but this type of complementarity is clearly not the same as that which might obtain, say, between left and right, or between inside and outside.

		This complementarity has a form very similar to the complementarities usually encountered in quantum mechanics.
		It is shown that these two kinds of information are complementarity in the sense that two parties can either gain access to the quantum information, or to the classical information but not both.
		We also find another class of complementarity relations which applies to operators, and is induced when two parties can only perform local operations and communicate classical.

	Complementarity
		Perhaps complementarity will be fundamental to our understanding of human wholeness and how we relate to each other and the world.
		The principle of complementarity is the assertion that, in the quantum mechanical world, there exist pairs of quantities that are complementary in the sense that they describe a whole only when taken together, but which are mutually exclusive in that they can never be measured simultaneously.
		Something analogous to complementarity may act at all levels of human experience and perhaps throughout the universe.

	phenomenological complementarity
		Complementarity for the first triplet of idea-pairs (at least in certain cases) also flows from the reciprocal relation between feature size/separation in coordinate and frequency spaces that relate by Fourier transform.
		As far as I can tell, complementarity for the remaining idea-pairs in the list (including particles and waves) is rarely put into quantitative form.
		Recognizing complementarity here therefore translates into respect for such multi-level structures, as well as for the ideas used to help nurture them.

	Ethnomathematics, Complementarity and Bhutan
		By definition, the Principle of Complementarity states that two descriptions or sets of concepts, though mutually exclusive, are nonetheless both necessary for a complete description of the situation.

		Here is the main issue: the complementarity view does not have the intellectual resources to allow for the precise type of unity necessary for these features of human persons to obtain and if they are, in fact, genuine, then the complementarity view's response to reductionism is simply inadequate.
		On the one hand, it is hard to avoid treating higher levels of description as causally impotent epiphenomena that supervene upon lower level systems because each lowest level physical state is (1) complete at its own level of description and (2) sufficient for the emergence of the higher level state.
