In ethics, two values (or norms, reasons, or goods) are incommensurable (or incommensurate, or incomparable) when they do not share a common standard of measurement or cannot be compared to each other in a certain way. There is a cluster of related ideas, and many philosophers use the terms differently. On one common usage:
Two concepts or things are commensurable if they are measurable or comparable by a common standard.. Commensurability most commonly refers to commensurability (mathematics). ...
Depending on the type of space under consideration, one might want to use homotopy equivalences or diffeomorphisms instead of homeomorphisms in the definition. If two spaces are commensurable, then their fundamental groups are commensurable. Example: any two closed surfaces of genus at least 2 are commensurable with each other.
Secondly, definitions must fulfill a minimal role, it is the paradigmatic examples that introduce the use of the new concepts, in such a way that an ostensive or stipulative component is essential. Thirdly, class concepts cannot be learned in isolation, but in relation to a series of contrast sets.
This process may not go to completion, however, because the substructure only allows for a certain amount of distortion. Superstructures of this type are often incommensurate. A good example is found in the structural transitions of 1T-TaS 2, a compound with a partially filled, narrow d band (Ta(IV) has a d 1 configuration).
The secret to this easy recipe lies in the tangy lemon-and-garlic drizzle that picks up the savory flavors left in the pan. Pan-searing chicken tenders locks in moisture while crisping up the outside.
Youth Services International confronted a potentially expensive situation. It was early 2004, only three months into the private prison company’s $9.5 million contract to run Thompson Academy, a juvenile prison in Florida, and already the facility had become a scene of documented violence and neglect.
A thesaurus (pl.: thesauri or thesauruses), sometimes called a synonym dictionary or dictionary of synonyms, is a reference work which arranges words by their meanings (or in simpler terms, a book where one can find different words with similar meanings to other words), [1] [2] sometimes as a hierarchy of broader and narrower terms, sometimes simply as lists of synonyms and antonyms.
