Examples of Definition Success

 Bro did some set 0s.

 It's not how I would define [concentration camp], but the definitions are perfectly valid. He illustrates how the handles fit together neatly with no gaps. He successfully implies that trying to put new handles crosswise would only stop you from grasping the existing handles. 

 Using this system, I would say hitler didn't run any concentration camps, only prisons. As far as I know, likewise the gulags and FDR's japanese camps were prisons. The gulags would kill you sometimes, but mainly when stalin had it out for you personally. Individual special cases.

  1. Attempts to define: "pattern" - a specific ordering of specific observations different from one another, according to their positions on one or more variables,(those can be spatial coordinates, time or something else), characterized by deviations from equal frequency of observations with different content with respect to anything observed within the pattern as well as overall different frequency. There are three kinds of patterns, the content of the observation can vary as a function of the next observations content , it can vary as a function of the ordering variable, or some observations can occur with higher frequency than other ones throughout the pattern. Patterns can be seen due to causal relations between real objects, accidental relations, or halucinations. "noise" - variability of observations remaining outside of any patterns they form "chaos"-a type of pattern which is inherently difficult to predict, complex and dynamic over time. "Order" - a type of pattern which is complex, dynamic and easy to predict. "system" - a set of real objects whose internal change comes about overwhelmingly due to interactions between its elements, and not from outside. The difference between chaos and order:- for a given level of complexity*dynamism the difficulty of prediction comes down to how much impact does noise have on the pattern-generating real system, and is the impact from a given random event going to dimnish over time and be compensated for homeostatically, or is the effect permanent and cumulative.

  2. That is what I aimed for, thanks for confirming!

Failcomment system seems to have been fixed. Working for me, at least.

Captchas should be off. If it gives you one anyway, it's against my explicit instructions.
