Topic: Form Constants

	Mathematics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The apparent plural form in English, like the French plural form les mathématiques (and the less commonly used singular derivative la mathématique), goes back to the Latin neuter plural mathematica (Cicero), based on the Greek plural τα μαθηματικά (ta mathēmatiká), used by Aristotle, and meaning roughly "all things mathematical".
		Despite the form and etymology, the word, like the names of arts and sciences in general, is used as a singular mass noun in English today.
		Pseudomathematics is a form of mathematics-like activity undertaken outside academia, and occasionally by mathematicians themselves.

	Logic and Ontology
		Even though mental and linguistic representations form different sets of representations, since they are closely connected with each other, for every logical constant in one of these sets of representations there will be another one of the corresponding syntactic type and with the same content, or at least a corresponding inferential role.
		And the form of the judgment was understood as the form of the representation that represents the content of the judgment, whereby form of the representation was understood along the lines of (L2), involving logical constants.
		In this sense we associate "form" neither with the representation that is involved in the judgment, nor with the proposition which is its content, but rather with the world that is judged about.

	Johan Bijnens: Chiral Perturbation Theory
		Note that due to a bug in a FORM program the expressions for the decay constants are with nonrenormalized masses and decay constants in the NLO parts, contrary to what is stated in the text.
		The masses were quoted correctly with the decay constant and the masses at NLO renormalized correctly to the physical Fpi and physical masses.
		The I amplitudes are the photon loop ones and the E amplitudes are the photon reducible ones.

	Ludwig Wittgenstein [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Whether Wittgenstein's views suggest a more sophisticated form of relativism is another matter, but the spirit of relativism seems far from Wittgenstein's conservatism and absolute intolerance of his own moral shortcomings.
		The complex, intertwined relationship between a language and the form of life that goes with it means that problems arising from language cannot just be set aside--they infect our lives, making us live in confusion.
		Imagine a different form or way of life and you imagine a different language with different concepts, different rules and a different logic.

	Logical Consequence
		A general answer will articulate the notion of logical form, which is an important issue in its own right (involving the notion of logical constants, among other things).
		A counterexample to an argument is, in general, some way of manifesting the manner in which the premises of the argument fail to lead to a conclusion.
		One way to do this is to provide an argument of the same form for which the premises are clearly true and the conclusion is clearly false.

		They were an important form of pre-writing symbols, used in communication from approximately 10,000 B.C.E. to modern times, depending on culture and location.
		Some researchers have noticed the resemblance of different styles of petroglyphs across different continents; while it is expected that all people would be inspired by their surroundings, it is harder to explain the common styles.
		Many of the geometric patterns (known as form constants) which recur in petroglyphs and cave paintings have been shown to be "hard-wired" into the human brain; they frequently occur in visual disturbances and hallucinations brought on by drugs, migraine and other stimuli.

		Known as "the God effect," entanglement is an area of constant development in current physics because of its astounding potential real-life applications, Clegg asserts.
		From the nearly 9,500 species of caterpillars that make their home in the area, the authors, who are conservation biologists, selected 100 of the most colorful and distinctive for their gallery of full-page, finely detailed photos at the front of this book.
		At the back are pages, about one per species, describing each specimen and—in an unusual twist on butterfly books—a small rendering of each one's adult form.
