	Rigour - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		These are separate from judicial and political applications with their suggestion of laws enforced to the letter, or political absolutism.
		Formal rigour is the introduction of high degrees of completeness by means of a formal language.
		Most mathematical arguments are presented as prototypes of formally rigorous proofs, on the grounds that too much formality may in fact obscure what is being said.

		It has its beginnings in the rigorous formulation of calculus and studies concepts such as continuity, integration and differentiability in general settings.
		Historically, analysis originated in the 17th century, with the invention of calculus by Newton and Leibniz.
		In the early 20th century, calculus was formalized using set theory.

	Feldman (1999) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		This paper summarizes a formal theory of human perceptual organization, called Minimal Model theory, in which the best interpretation of a given scene is expressed as the formally minimal interpretation in a well-defined space of possible interpretations.
		We then focus specifically on the role of types of grouping units, in particular the difficult notion of "object.'' Although grouping is often thought of as the process of dividing the image into objects, most research in perceptual grouping actually focuses on simpler types of units, such as contours and surfaces.
		The theory is then applied to the more subtle problem of objects, culminating in a definition for objects that is formally rigorous but at the same time captures some of the flexibility of human intuitions about objects.

		Historically, analysis originated in the 17th century, with theinvention of calculus by Newton and Leibniz.
		In thiscontext, Jordan developed his theory of measure, Cantor developed what is now called naïve set theory, and Baire proved the Baire category theorem.
		Lebesgue solved the problem ofmeasure, and Hilbert introduced Hilbert space to solve integral equations.The idea of normed vector space was in the air, and in the 1920s Banach created functional analysis.

	Social Studies Review: ORIGINS AND IMPACT OF CALIFORNIA STATE TESTING IN HISTORY-SOCIAL SCIENCE, THE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Accompanying the adoption of similarly rigorous standards in the other three core content areas - language arts, mathematics and science - this Board action signaled the launch of a reform movement that has reverberated through the school districts of California.
		The purpose of state K-12 testing as it has evolved is to determine student achievement in relation to the rigorous state standards and to use that data to spur further improvement.
		Prompting this massive effort that could alter curriculum and instruction practices on a wholesale scale, not only in California but nationwide, was a series of reports and studies in the past twenty years asserting that the performance of America's students was declining in comparison to those of other countries.

		If validated through future rigorous experiments, these techniques may be of considerable value to tabletop application interface designers.
		Although the proposed techniques appear to be viable, the paper does not include a formal evaluation to support the usability of the gestures.
		Rigorous formal studies are required to demonstrate the validity of individual gestures.

		Yet this criticism neglects feminist critics' remarks on the formal devices of mythic mask, palimpsest, and return of the repressed, characteristic of life-writing cure, that moved H. beyond confinement to the divisive gender stereotypes of her day....
		Formally rigorous, compact, and controlled, Bogan's poetry tends to be epigrammatic rather than descriptive; her poems often inhabit stark, dreamlike landscapes, and, reflecting her interest in psychology, attempt to explore the workings of the unconscious.
		Her poems are lyrical and often formal and/or rhymed, reflecting her belief that structure is critical both in life and art.

	Mark Harden's Artchive: "1925" - Kandinsky (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		"The small-format picture In the Blue...uses geometric forms, and here...Kandinsky retains a measure of formal freedom, refusing to accede to the dictates of pure geometricization; there is even a touch of playfulness in the picture, whose forms have a vaguely toy-like appearance.
		In this work...the geometry is orchestrated in a euphoric riot of color, set against, and anchored in, a deep blue background which introduces a musical connotation and transports the picture into the realm of dream and the irrational.
		Even in this formally rigorous and seemingly 'rational' phase in the development of his art he refrained from casting aside the ideas of dream and 'Romantism'."

		Today when we are asked to name the most significant philosopher of the nineteenth century, we are likely to choose a man who was not a professional philosopher at all, whose work is aphoristic rather than formally rigorous, suffused with a rhetoric rooted more in Luther and Wagner than in the Western philosophical tradition.
		Nietzsche's particular modernity reflects the fact that, in contrast with his predecessors who took the human scene of representation as an a priori ethical model, Nietzsche situates the emergence of scenic self-consciousness, in its ethical as well as its esthetic mode, in human history.
		In the latter case, the transcendent meaning of tragic representation emerges from the opposition between the states of the human condition in which the spectator participates: fulfillment of desire (as if it were mine) and its necessary sacrifice (as the desire of the tragic victim).

		Starting from the concept of metadata there seem to be unprecedented inroads to semantic data integration, or data harmonization, on condition that data processing is restricted to narrower domains admitting the formulation of generic data models and data manipulation methodologies.
		Using the management of statistical aggregates as a case in point, a fairly general semantic data model can in fact be devised for combining statistical source data in a coherent way within the framework of distributed (federated) heterogeneous databases relying on a novel, formally rigorous approach to metadata management.
		The lecture will outline how, in theory, information technology and formal symbol manipulation can be harnessed to devise a metadata calculus mediating transparent interoperability with a multitude of data sources contributing to the federated system by exploiting an explicit description layer of so-called control metadata putting data sources into context effectively.

		What clearly sets Maxwell's work apart from most contemporary theatre is its minimalist, formally rigorous and anti-expressive style that deliberately runs the risk of being mistaken for heightened amateurism or bad theatre.
		This deliberate rejection of theatrical mastery is further emphasized by awkward pauses -- moments of "non-acting" -- that function like the continual background static from which the mundane conversations of the protagonists emerge in the first place.
		Since his protagonists burst into song from time to time, Maxwell's plays are in fact musicals, but of a very different kind than the traditional American musical: The singing in Maxwell's plays is very restrained and formal -- and as stylishly "bad" as the acting.

	McMullen Museum, House: Charged Space, Mark Wethli
		By imaging the seasons as a transition from interior to exterior space, this work comments on the way that memory binds space and time together.
		The paintings are formally rigorous; each tightly constructed image has its own underlying geometry.
		Yet it is the mood that carries the paintings, an atmosphere created by light falling through and defining space.

	Plato
		The idea implied is that for poetry to be true art (= no inspiration/no spirit?) it should contain within itself superior knowledge/understanding of all fields of endeavor.
		The implication of this is that the only superior knowledge which a poem/poet could express would be about the formal aspects of poetry (A drearily New Critical stance anticipated by 2400 years).
		Poetry, to have a proper place in society, must serve the function of building virtue in the youth by providing them with noble examples for emulation.

	De Novo: Solum's Blogospheric Bookclub
		I have a strong affinity for intellectually rigorous, carefully formulated arguments.
		The notions of freedom Lessig contrasts are certainly not (yet) rigorous, but I think they adequately pinpoint the basic concerns of the anti-IP movement.
		So unlike Solum, my hope is not so much that Lessig's writing will prove formally rigorous, but that the story he tells will indeed make the case that intellectual property, today, betrays widely shared values of freedom and progress.

		Struth's early cityscapes, all shot into the diminishing perspective of an unpopulated street, refract Marville and Atget through the prism of Ed Ruscha and other deadpan documentarians.
		Formally rigorous and bracingly unromantic, the work strikes a decisive balance between classic and contemporary impulses, compressing the present and the past in remarkably lucid moments.
		But that appetite seems seriously constricted when it comes to people, so even the most crowded intersections and galleries can feel peculiarly lifeless, and his family portraits, while flawlessly composed, are stiffer and less revealing than most still lifes.

		This paper will explain the role of ontology (formally defined vocabulary and supporting definitions) in building semantically unambiguous knowledge bases.
		Current day knowledge management systems either do not represent knowledge formally or do so in ways which would be meaningless outside of the context of the system or in the absense of the background (common sense) knowledge of the human mind.
		Without an unambigous and formally rigorous standard representation, we shall never to able to create knowledge libraries that can truly be shared amongst humans and computer applications alike.

	Stung by Splendor/Leone and MacDonald (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		For the past ten years, this collaborative team has produced a unique, almost paradoxical body of work: installations, drawings, sculptures and videos, often on a grand scale, that examine the most controversial public issues of our time in intimately personal, yet formally rigorous terms.
		As in previous works, this new project is based on the conceptual premise that an artwork resonates when the form carries the burden of its own meaning.
		The result is a luminous, mercurial work in and about process, on rumination and the rest cure, madness and the working drawing.

		The museum claims the arrangment as equivalent of formally rigorous abstract paintings, but rendered with readymade materials.
		To my eye, turns and flips in these compositions would produce equivalent experiences for the viewer, both formally and syntactically.
		I would only change "Rotation and inversion will usually harm a good work of art" to "Rotation and inversion will usually qualitatively change a good work of art"--that is, rendering it different in in expression, but not necessarily worse.

	londondance.com : Michael Clark Company
		Clark’s mix of rigorously controlled choreography and head-thumping, heart-pumping music is part of the way he works with the formal vocabulary of classical dance, reshaping it from without through an almost sensory bombardment, as well as from within the form of dance itself.
		His underlying approach is cacophonous, exploiting confusion, visual contamination and disruption.
		His work is also formally rigorous and masterful, suggesting a palpable handling of his medium in a way that goes beyond pure movement to encompass an expanded plasticity.” Suzanne Cotter

		Linda Connor’s photographs, paired with a nice taste of Vija Celmin’s drawings of deep space, are the biggest surprise, bringing a convincing sense of wonder and mystery to formally rigorous work that packs a wallop.
		It relates much more to the intellectual rigor of the study of systems that preoccupied the conceptual artists of the 1960s and ‘70s.
		Wegner’s studies are articulated both as labor intensive drawings, in which he looks closely at the subtle relationships between similar colors, as well as carefully crafted large scale paintings.

	The Academy of American Poets - Poems for Sports
		In her famed poem, "Baseball and Writing," Moore seeks correspondence between this still-young, rule-bound sport with the practice of writing, a good fit for the formally rigorous and exacting poet.
		Continuing in the rich tradition of American poems on the American Pastime, Donald Hall, who incidentally has written extensively on Moore’s verse, wrote the poem "Baseball" and included it in his book The Museum of Clear Ideas.
		Following a formal heuristic as complex as baseball’s epic rulebook, the poem is comprised of twelve "innings" that are subdivided into nine stanzas of nine lines, each line containing nine syllables.

	The Historical Jesus
		In this paper I present an outline of what I believe to be a supportable argument for seeing the historical Jesus as a Great Individual who brings a radically new level of consciousness to human society by mediating the contents of the collective unconscious.
		I have not tried to construct a formally rigorous argument, but have rather circumscribed the issues that would need to be addressed in constructing such an argument.
		My method is to begin with a brief description of my model for developing consciousness, I then proceed by identifying what I feel are traces of this model in the text.
