commensurability

Klausovitz defined this as a commensurability between means and ends.

For other senses of this word, see commensurability.

The reason of these discords I conceive to be, that there is no commensurability between a man and any gift.

Commensurability is the property of two objects orbiting the same body whose periods are in a rational proportion.

The discovery of a theory of ratios that does not assume commensurability is probably due to Eudoxus.

Others can be inferred by commensurability (integer ratio of volumes) for the tetrahedral domains.

Overall, about a third of radial velocity characterized systems appear to have a pair of planets close to a commensurability.

The term commensurability was coined because of a series of problems that both authors found when trying to interpret successive scientific theories.

Assessments of (in)commensurability, therefore, don't have much effect in Feyerabend's system, and can be more or less passed over in silence.

It probably originated well beyond Neptune and was later temporarily captured in the 1:1 commensurability with Neptune.

Commensurability may refer to:

Commensurability test:

Feyerabend considered the possibility of commensurability (philosophy of science), but he was hesitant in his application of the concept.

In particular, commensurability involves the extent to which paradigmatic concerns "can be retrofitted to each other in ways that make the simultaneous practice of both possible".

In this context commensurability means that the ratio of the two planets' mean motions is very nearly equal to a ratio of some pair small whole numbers.

In the regime of weak modulation (), phenomena like commensurability oscillations or fractal energy spectra (Hofstadter butterfly) occur.

If two of these frequencies form an irrational number (i.e. they are commensurability (mathematics)), the trajectory is no longer closed, and the limit cycle becomes a limit torus.

Thus, if one uses homotopy-equivalences, commensurability of groups corresponds to commensurability of spaces provided one associates the classifying space to a discrete group.

Prasad and Rapinchuk introduced a new notion of "weak-commensurability" of arithmetic subgroups and determined "weak- commensurability classes" of arithmetic groups in a given semi-simple group.

Since the 243:395 Earth:Venus commensurability is only approximate, there are different sequences of transits occurring 243 years apart, each extending for several thousand years, which are eventually replaced by other sequences.

The change in format was intended to allow for greater commensurability between Wegener's newspapers as a cost-cutting measure, given the decline in advertising revenues and the falling numbers of newspaper circulations throughout the Dutch market.

The invariant trace field and invariant quaternion algebra depend only on the wide commensurability class of the group as a subgroup of SL(2, C): this is known not to be the case for the trace field.

Money, then, acting as a measure, makes goods commensurate and equates them; for neither would there have been association if there were not exchange, nor exchange if there were not equality, nor equality if there were not commensurability.
