	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.

	IDM : Definitions and Principles of Dichotomy
		The concept of dichotomy allows for the enabling of a frame of reference, a universe of discourse, where classes are created such that, for example, an object is symbolized as either being in 'A' (in the class) or in '~A' (outside the class).
		Dichotomies of complementarity are used more in synthesis, where the two elements are seen as parts of a whole with the whole emerging when the parts join - (Inclusive OR) - with the final whole being the universe of discourse.
		Dichotomies of opposition, although in the same context, cannot occupy the same space, thus suggesting these dichotomies have their elements treated as wholes.

	enlightenment: IOE, The Analytic-Synthetic Dichotomy
		In this posting, my purpose is to discuss the dichotomy for the purpose of re-invigorating the discussion of it that was curtailed when the IOE project began: I shall rely on Peikoff's essay, but the central topic is the dichotomy itself, not Peikoff's analysis of it.
		The analytic-synthetic dichotomy, according to its advocates, subdivides true propositions into two classes; those whose truth can be established simply by an analysis of the meanings of the constituent concepts, and those whose truth can be established only by checking the facts of the case, i.e., by consulting reality.
		The point of this story in the context of the analytic-synthetic dichotomy is that an immense amount of information about the units subsumed by a concept must be analyzed in the process of arriving at a definition of the concept.

	IDM : Definitions and Principles of Dichotomy
		Dichotomies of opposition ('gaussian' dichotomies) are used more in analysis, and where the two elements are often destructive when combined.
		Dichotomies of complementarity ('power law' dichotomies) are used more in synthesis, where the two elements are seen as parts of a whole with the whole emerging when the parts join - (Inclusive OR) - with the final whole being the universe of discourse.
		The dichotomy spans all levels of the hierarchy and as such reflects all levels of that dichotomy.

		In Botony, A dichotomy is a mode of branching by repeated bifurcation.
		The logical fallacy of false dilemma, also known as fallacy of the excluded middle, false dichotomy, either/or dilemma or bifurcation, is to set up two alternative points of view as if they were the only options, when they are not.

	The Idea-Expression Dichotomy in Copyright Law
		Some commentators who have studied the idea-expression dichotomy in the greatest detail have criticized it, arguing that continued recognition of the dichotomy is neither justified nor helpful in deciding cases.
		Thus, in the historical development of the idea-expression dichotomy, the courts have moved from a characterization that is strongly shifted toward the idea (which is unprotected) to one that is strongly shifted toward the expression (which is protected).
		Apparently, the OTA Report viewed the abstractions test of the idea-expression dichotomy not as a limitation on the protectability of works, but as an accommodative principle that allows the copyright law to be expanded to new fields.

	IDM : The Sense of Dichotomy: The Source of Meaning
		We further introduce a proposed model of a neurologically-based template that is used in all dichotomy-based categorisations such that we can easily make analogies across disciplines since it is the elements of the template that resonate with meaning where these elements are the emotions to which words point to.
		Thus, dichotomy can map anything and this indicates a reason for the ease in which humans make analogies across disciplines and can at times confuse map with territory.
		The fundamental unit of 'measurement' is that of object:relationship (whole:aspects) which is at its optimum at level 3 (eight states); from there-on we are dealing with refinements although each level reveals a new set of 'meanings' that could not be expressed earlier since the require a specific degree of contextual development to sustain them.

	Ousterhout's Dichotomy
		Ousterhout's Dichotomy, proposed in the early 80's by John Ousterhout as a software development paradigm, asserts that the world of application development is divided into two languages: a compiled language focusing on disk access and efficiency such as C, and a higher-level, typeless or loosely-typed scripting language with a simple, basic syntax.
		Tcl's implementation of the dichotomy, for example, basically involves writing functions in C and converting them to Tcl procedures using the pretty simple Tcl API, then writing scripts to tie the functions together and create a working application out of it.
		Back to theory - the main complaint against the dichotomy is that it supposedly rigidly categorizes "compiled" and "interpreted" languages and strictly defines their roles, when a growing amount of languages compile partially into "virtual machine" code, or at least use a bytecode internally (even Tcl does this!).

		This dichotomy became, and persists as, a normative grid for many NT scholars because there was a certain aptness to it: historians can detect worldviews lying behind ancient literary works that are more reminiscent of Athens than Jerusalem and vice versa.
		For that reason, "the dichotomy is obsolete and needs to be replaced because of ambiguities attached to the concepts [of Judaism and Hellenism]...
		But the dichotomy again turns out to be weakly supported, and Gerdmar concludes that the simplest and best hypothesis for characterizing their literary form is "the 'Jewish' official letter,' or Aramaic official letter" (p.

	The False Dichotomy and Narrative Journalism
		A false dichotomy of the moment is one that pits narrative against traditional methods of news writing.
		Attacks on narrative journalism come from a variety of sources: editors who fear fabrication scandals; reporters who can't pull off the narrative style and would rather "diss" it or dismiss it than learn it, and time-starved readers who say they want their news fast and to the point.
		This false dichotomy of information and narrative can be framed anew, transformed into a spectrum of useful possibilities from which all good news writing can emerge.

		The simplest way to see the martian crustal dichotomy is to take a globe of Mars (I'm partial to "Hugg-a-Planet Mars", a stuffed globe of Mars available in many science stores, museum shops, and from the Planetary Society) and try to orient it so that you see as few large craters as possible.
		The dichotomy can also be seen easily in MARS by Kieffer et al, from University of Arizona Press.
		The source of the dichotomy is not known, although there are several theories.

		She examines the gendered duality of these dichotomies and argues for a relational perspective on which to base a new set of feminist concepts that move beyond a dichotomous way of thinking.
		With an argument which attacks dichotomy, it is always tempting to apply a reductio ad absurdum and suggest that the person arguing against dichotomy is merely setting up another dichotomy, for instance between that which is dichotomous and that which is not.
		On page 37 she links dichotomy specifically to the denigration of women, humanity being defined as opposed both to nature and to femininity.

		This dichotomy also exists where such worlds have matured in their spiritual orientations to the point where switching is no longer anticipated, but the lessons of the higher densities are continuing and the orientations are sufficiently segregated.
		This type of dichotomy will, of course, exist on the Earth during the Transformation period, which is now.
		Increasingly, the orientations separate of their own accord, as those in the Service-to-Other expel those who are not truly in the Service-to-Other and those in the Service-to-Self find compliance with the desire for a rigid pecking order only among those also in the Service-to-Self.

		Hume's and much 20th-century moral philosophy contrasted moral with factual judgments and led people to conclude that the former, unlike the latter, are subjective in the sense of not being rationally supportable.
		Putnam's The Collapse of the Fact/Value Dichotomy is a tour de force by a great philosopher.
		The collection as a whole thus fulfils two rather different functions: (a) bringing new and original arguments to bear against the erroneous thesis that there is a dichotomy between fact and value, and (b) guiding the reader around the contours of the issue and pointing to interesting relevant arguments developed elsewhere by others.

	The Dichotomy in Chiropractic \| Fred H. Barge, DC, PhC
		Those not well-schooled in chiropractic's history, and unfortunately that is the majority of the chiropractors today who graduated after 1960 (which, by the way, is the majority of chiropractors), do not understand how our dichotomy came upon us.
		The dichotomy began immediately, as from chiropractic's very inception D.D. Palmer's first classes included allopaths, homeopaths, eclectics, osteopaths, etc. Now, what would you do if you were a doctor degreed in another health care discipline, who had just taken D.D. Palmer's chiropractic course?
		If we all practiced as the founder taught, wrote, and lectured there would be no dichotomy today.
