Topic: Consensus (disambiguation)

	Consensus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Consensus upon a particular formal model of consensus can lead to groupthink, by making it harder for those who reject any that formal model to have their case heard out in informal terms or using a different model.
		As this example suggests, the concept of consensus is a particularly important one in the context of society and government, and forms a cornerstone of the concept of democracy.
		In some cases, consensus decision-making may encourage groupthink, a situation in which people modify their opinions to reflect what they believe others want them to think, leading to a situation in which a group makes a decision that none of the members individually think is wise.

	Volcano (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		For other meanings of the word eruption, see eruption (disambiguation)'' ---- A volcano is a geological landform (usually a mountain) where magma (rock of the earth's interior made molten or liquid by high pressure and temperature) erupts through the surface of the planet.
		Although there are numerous volcanoes (some very active) on the solar system's rocky planets and moons, on Earth at least, this phenomenon tends to occur near the boundaries of the continental plates.
		There is no detailed consensus about how to interpret these varied results, and it seems plausible that eventually several different sub-types of hotspots will be identified.

	Vagueness
		The direct bearers of vagueness are a word's full disambiguations such as ‘tall for an eighteenth century French man’.
		The mere fact that an ambiguous statement comes out true under all its disambiguations does not show that the statement itself is true.
		Indeed, there used to be a consensus that believers in vague objects were committing the fallacy of verbalism — inferring that an object has the property that its representation has.

	Color (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		:''For alternative meanings, see color (disambiguation).'' Color is an important part of the [[visual arts.]] Color (American English) or colour (Commonwealth English) is a sensation which (in humans) derives from the ability of the fine structure of the eye to distinguish three differently filtered analyses of a view.
		Unfortunately there is no exact consensus as to what loci in the chromaticity diagram the red, green, and blue colors should have, so the same RGB values can give rise to slightly different colors on different screens.
		It is possible to achieve a large range of colors seen by humans by combining cyan, magenta, and yellow transparent dyes/inks on a white substrate.

	Mozambique - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Mozambique
		In 1988 President Chissano met South African President Botha and later that year, as tension was reduced, Tanzanian troops were withdrawn from the country.
		In July 1989, at its annual conference, Frelimo offered to abandon Marxism-Leninism to achieve a national consensus and Chissano was re-elected president and party leader.
		One-party rule was formally ended in August 1990 and a new constitution adopted.

	Web of lies? Historical knowledge on the Internet (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		This disambiguation problem is one of the thorniest issues of information retrieval and data mining in computer science.
		Despite the importance of the disambiguation problem, it is not a problem of the quality of historical information on the Web but rather of the sophistication of the tools—like H-Bot—for mining that information.
		Undoubtedly Gertrude Himmelfarb and like-minded conservatives would be pleased with this online triumph of consensus over interpreters of the past who dare to use Marxist lenses to envision the founding of the United States.[3] But challenging conventional and textbook accounts often forms an important part of understanding the past more fully.

	Music - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
		John Cage is the most famous advocate of the idea that anything can be music, saying, for example, "There is no noise, only sound," though some argue that this somewhat fascistically imposes the definition on everything.
		According to musicologist Jean-Jacques Nattiez (1990 p.47-8,55): "The border between music and noise is always culturally defined--which implies that, even within a single society, this border does not always pass through the same place; in short, there is rarely a consensus....
		Molino (1975: 43) argues that, in addition to a lack of consensus, "any element belonging to the total musical fact can be isolated, or taken as a strategic variable of musical production." Nattiez gives as examples Mauricio Kagel's Con Voce [with voice], where a masked trio silently mimes playing instruments.

	Logical Consequence, Model-Theoretic Conceptions [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Part of the difficulty in reaching a consensus with respect to whether or not the model-theoretic consequence relation reflects the salient features of the common concept of logical consequence is that philosophers and logicians differ over what the features of the common concept are.
		If we disambiguate the relevant notion of 'circumstance' by the lights of Tarski, 'Admires(kelly, paige)' is a logical consequence of '(Female(evan) & ~Female(evan))'.
		There is no fact of the matter about whether or not the first sentence is a logical consequence of the second independent of such a disambiguation.
