A faggot, in the meaning of "bundle", is an archaic English unit applied to bundles of certain items. Alternate spellings in Early Modern English include fagate, faget, fagett, faggott, fagot, fagatt, fagott, ffagott, and faggat. A similar term is found in other languages (e.g. Latin: fascis).
A "bundle of sticks" – in which each stick represents an individual right – is a common analogy made for the bundle of rights. Any property owner possesses a set of "sticks" related directly to the land. [5] For example, perfection of a mechanic's lien takes some, but not all, rights out of the bundle held by the owner. Extinguishing that ...
The bundle theorist's principal objections to substance theory concern the bare particulars of a substance, which substance theory considers independently of the substance's properties. The bundle theorist objects to the notion of a thing with no properties, claiming that such a thing is inconceivable and citing John Locke, who described a ...
This first appeared as a 1795 illustrated broadsheet published in London and Bath with the title "The old man, his children, and the bundle of sticks". There "A good old man, no matter where, Whether in York or Lancashire," gives the lesson on his deathbed and the poem concludes with a Christian reflection. [14]
The bundle theory of substance explains compresence. Specifically, it maintains that properties' compresence itself engenders a substance. Thus, it determines substancehood empirically by the togetherness of properties rather than by a bare particular or by any other non-empirical underlying strata.
From any vector bundle, one can construct the frame bundle of bases, which is a principal bundle (see below). Another special class of fiber bundles, called principal bundles , are bundles on whose fibers a free and transitive action by a group G {\displaystyle G} is given, so that each fiber is a principal homogeneous space .
The term bindle may be an alteration of the term "bundle" or similarly descend from the German word Bündel, meaning something wrapped up in a blanket and bound by cord for carrying (cf. originally Middle Dutch bundel), or have arisen as a portmanteau of bind and spindle. [3] It may also be from the Scottish dialectal bindle "cord or rope to ...
In regular cold matter, quarks, fundamental particles of nuclear matter, are confined by the strong force into hadrons that consist of 2–4 quarks, such as protons and neutrons. Quark matter or quantum chromodynamical (QCD) matter is a group of phases where the strong force is overcome and quarks are deconfined and free to move.
