Golden Bridge – To leave an opponent an opportunity to withdraw in order to not force them to act out of desperation – Sun Tzu; Iron Calculus of War – Resistance = Means x Will – Clausewitz; Moral ascendancy – Moral force is the trump card for any military event because as events change, the human elements of war remain unchanged ...
Forcing function can mean: In differential calculus, a function that appears in the equations and is only a function of time, and not of any of the other variables. In interaction design, a behavior-shaping constraint , a means of preventing undesirable user input usually made by mistake.
Charge: a large force heads directly to an enemy to engage in close quarters combat, with the hope of breaking the enemy line. Chequered retreat, (retraite en échiquier, Fr.) a line or battalion, alternately retreating and facing about in the presence of an enemy, exhibiting a deployment like chequered squares
Negative free bid is a contract bridge treatment whereby a free bid by responder over an opponent's overcall shows a long suit in a weak hand and is not forcing. This is in contrast with standard treatment, where a free bid can show unlimited values and is unconditionally forcing.
The opposing force, thinking that it had routed the Mongols, would give chase. The Mongol cavalry would, while retreating, fire upon its pursuers and dishearten them (see Parthian shot ). [ 2 ] When the pursuing forces stopped chasing the (significantly faster) Mongol cavalry, the Mongols would then turn and charge the pursuers and generally ...
Under the equal level conversion agreement, the bid of a new suit by the doubler is not forcing if it is at the same level as advancer's bid. So, equal level conversion means that in the sequence 1 ♠ – (Dbl) – P – (2 ♦ ); P – (2 ♥ ), 2 ♥ is considered non-forcing.
Forcing is usually used to construct an expanded universe that satisfies some desired property. For example, the expanded universe might contain many new real numbers (at least of them), identified with subsets of the set of natural numbers, that were not there in the old universe, and thereby violate the continuum hypothesis.
In Cohen forcing (named after Paul Cohen) P is the set of functions from a finite subset of ω 2 × ω to {0,1} and p < q if p ⊇ q. This poset satisfies the countable chain condition. Forcing with this poset adds ω 2 distinct reals to the model; this was the poset used by Cohen in his original proof of the independence of the continuum ...
