  2. Correlation (projective geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation_(projective...

    Given a line m and P a point not on m, an elementary correlation is obtained as follows: for every Q on m form the line PQ. The inverse correlation starts with the pencil on P: for any line q in this pencil take the point m ∩ q. The composition of two correlations that share the same pencil is a perspectivity.

  3. Point–line–plane postulate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pointlineplane_postulate

    Number line assumption. Every line is a set of points which can be put into a one-to-one correspondence with the real numbers. Any point can correspond with 0 (zero) and any other point can correspond with 1 (one). Dimension assumption. Given a line in a plane, there exists at least one point in the plane that is not on the line. Given a plane ...

  4. Duality (projective geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duality_(projective_geometry)

    This image line is perpendicular to every line of the plane which passes through the origin, in particular the original line (point of the projective plane). All lines that are perpendicular to the original line at the origin lie in the unique plane which is orthogonal to the original line, that is, the image plane under the association.

  5. Prototype theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prototype_theory

    Prototype theory is a theory of categorization in cognitive science, particularly in psychology and cognitive linguistics, in which there is a graded degree of belonging to a conceptual category, and some members are more central than others.

  6. Projective plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projective_plane

    In this construction, each "point" of the real projective plane is the one-dimensional subspace (a geometric line) through the origin in a 3-dimensional vector space, and a "line" in the projective plane arises from a (geometric) plane through the origin in the 3-space. This idea can be generalized and made more precise as follows.

  7. Fano plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fano_plane

    The points of the design are the points of the plane, and the blocks of the design are the lines of the plane. [14] As such it is a valuable example in (block) design theory. With the points labelled 0, 1, 2, ..., 6 the lines (as point sets) are the translates of the (7, 3, 1) planar difference set given by {0, 1, 3} in the group Z / 7Z. [14]

  8. Mental rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_rotation

    Physical objects that people imagine rotating in everyday life have many properties, such as textures, shapes, and colors. A study at the University of California Santa Barbara was conducted to specifically test the extent to which visual information, such as color, is represented during mental rotation. This study used several methods such as ...

  9. Correlation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation

    This means that we have a perfect rank correlation, and both Spearman's and Kendall's correlation coefficients are 1, whereas in this example Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient is 0.7544, indicating that the points are far from lying on a straight line.
