  2. Blum–Shub–Smale machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blum–Shub–Smale_machine

    It is closely related to the Real RAM model. BSS machines are more powerful than Turing machines, because the latter are by definition restricted to a finite set of symbols. [2] A Turing machine can represent a countable set (such as the rational numbers) by strings of symbols, but this does not extend to the uncountable real numbers.

  3. Social exchange theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_exchange_theory

    Social exchange theory views exchange as a social behavior that may result both in economic and social outcomes. [17] Social exchange theory has been generally analyzed by comparing human interactions with the marketplace. The study of the theory from the microeconomics perspective is attributed to Blau. [6]

  7. Markedness model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markedness_Model

    The markedness model (sociolinguistic theory) proposed by Carol Myers-Scotton is one account of the social indexical motivation for code-switching. [1] The model holds that speakers use language choices to index rights and obligations (RO) sets, the abstract social codes in operation between participants in a given interaction.

  8. Maslow's hierarchy of needs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow's_hierarchy_of_needs

    The theory is a classification system intended to reflect the universal needs of society as its base, then proceeding to more acquired emotions. [18] The hierarchy is split between deficiency needs and growth needs, with two key themes involved within the theory being individualism and the prioritization of needs.

  9. Complexity and Real Computation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complexity_and_Real...

    The introduction of the book reprints the paper "Complexity and real computation: a manifesto", previously published by the same authors. This manifesto explains why classical discrete models of computation such as the Turing machine are inadequate for the study of numerical problems in areas such as scientific computing and computational geometry, motivating the newer model studied in the book.
