  2. Relative and absolute tense - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_and_absolute_tense

    Comrie's strict relative tense expresses time relative to the reference point provided by the context, without indicating where that reference point lies relative to the present time. [2] A verb form commonly offered as an example of such a relative tense is the imperfect of Classical Arabic. This indicates an ongoing state of affairs at the ...

    Absolute, true and mathematical time, of itself, and from its own nature flows equably without regard to anything external, and by another name is called duration: relative, apparent and common time, is some sensible and external (whether accurate or unequable) measure of duration by the means of motion, which is commonly used instead of true ...

  5. Absolute and relative terms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_and_relative_terms

    Absolute terms describe properties that are ideal in a Platonic sense, but that are not present in any concrete, real-world object. For example, while we say of many surfaces of physical things that they are flat, a rather reasonable interpretation of what we presumably observe makes it quite doubtful that these surfaces actually are flat.

    The Umbrella Project (1991), art installation by Christo, Ibaraki, Japan The ephemeral nature of certain artistic expressions is above all a subjective concept subject to the very definition of art, a controversial term open to multiple meanings, which have oscillated and evolved over time and geographic space, since the term "art" has not been understood in the same way in all times and places.

  8. Relative dating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_dating

    Craters are very useful in relative dating; as a general rule, the younger a planetary surface is, the fewer craters it has. If long-term cratering rates are known to enough precision, crude absolute dates can be applied based on craters alone; however, cratering rates outside the Earth-Moon system are poorly known. [8]

    It provides the viewer of the work with an image of what the artist had done to create the mark, reliving what the artist had done at the time. [1] Materiality is the choice of materials used and how it impacts the work of art and how the viewer perceives it. [1]
