Recursion - Example: the natural numbers.
The canonical example of a recursively defined set is given by the natural numbers:
0 is in N
if n is in N, then n + 1 is in N
The set of natural numbers is the smallest set satisfying the previous two properties.
Here's an alternative recursive definition of N:
0, 1 are in N;
if n and n + 1 are in N, then n + 2 is in N;
N is the small ...

| | | | | | | Defined: Encyclopedia II - Security - Defining the word security The word "security" in general usage is synonymous with "safety," but as a technical term "security" means that something not only is secure but that it has been secured. For example, In telecommunication, the term security has the following meanings:
A condition that results from the establishment and maintenance of protective measures that ensure a state of inviolability from hostile acts or influences.
With respect to classified matter, the condition that prevents unauthorized persons from having ...

Life - A conventional definition.
In biology, a life form has traditionally been considered to be a member of a population whose members can exhibit all the following phenomena at least once during their existence:
Growth, full development, maturity
Metabolism, consuming, transforming and storing energy/mass; growing by absorbing and reorganizing mass; excreting waste
Motion, either moving itself, or having internal motion
Reproduction, the ability of individuals to create ...

| | | | | | Defined: Encyclopedia II - Deconstruction - The difficulty in defining deconstruction The term deconstruction in the context of Western philosophy is highly resistant to formal definition. Martin Heidegger was perhaps the first to use the term (in contrast to Nietzschean demolition), although the form we recognize in English is an element in a series of translations (from Heidegger's Abbau and Destruktion to Jacques Derrida's déconstruction), and it has been explored by others, including Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, Paul de Man, Jonathan Culler, Barbara ...

| | | | | Defined: Encyclopedia II - Mysticism - On the difficulty of defining mysticism Readers frequently encounter seemingly open-ended statements among studies of mysticism, throughout its history, for example in Taoist thought and in studies of Kabbalah. In his work, Kabbalah, Gershom Scholem, a prominent 20th century scholar of that field, stated: The Kabbalah is not a single system with basic principles which can be explained in a simple and straightforward fashion, but consists rather of a multiplicity of different approaches, widely separated from on ...

| | | | | Defined: Encyclopedia II - Bicycle safety - Defining safety Safety is, fundamentally, the reduction of risk. Safety interventions divide broadly into primary and secondary safety. Primary safety is the active reduction of risk; secondary safety is measures taken to mitigate the consequences of risk. For example, brakes are a primary safety measure, seat belts are a secondary safety measure. The principles of risk management dictate that risk should be controlled first by reduction of risk at source, second by reducing of exposure to risk and third, only if the other ...

| | | | | Defined: Encyclopedia II - Bicycle safety - Defining danger Using one meaning of the word, cycling is not dangerous. There are some injuries and a few very rare fatalities caused to non-cyclists by cyclists, largely due to cycling on the footway, but since this is itself a response to the danger posed by others to cyclists this is arguably not an inherent danger of cycling. Off-road cycling is more dangerous, but not unusually so when compared with similar outdoor activities such as hiking.
To consider it from another perspective, cycling is dangerous because cyclists, like pedestrians, are es ...

| | | | | | | | Defined: Encyclopedia II - Gay community - Defining the community The word "gay" is sometimes used as shorthand for "gay, lesbian, and bisexual" and possibly also "transexual" and others, so "gay community" is sometimes a synonym for "LGBT community" or "Queer community". In other cases, the speaker may be referring only to gay men. There are many identifyable "sub-communities" - the leather community, the bear community, the chubby community, the lesbian community, the bisexual community, the transgendered community, the drag community, the rave community, and so on.
Some people (including many mainstream American journalists) interpret the phrase ...

| | | | | Defined: Encyclopedia II - Pony car - Defining the class The Mustang provided the template for the new class of automobiles. Although it was based on the platform of the Falcon, it had a unique body (offered as a hardtop coupe and a convertible) with distinctive, "long hood, short deck" proportions. In basic form it was mechanically mundane, with a 170 cu. in. (2.8L) six-cylinder engine and three-speed manual transmission. It carried an attractive base price of $2,368, and had an extensive option list offering a range of V8 engines, Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission or four-speed manual, radio ...

Carleton's Goodsell Observatory, built in 1887, is on the national registry of historic places. The Carleton College Cowling Arboretum, created from lands purchased in the 1920s during difficult financial times by then president Donald J. Cowling, was first called "Cowling's Folly" and, later, his legacy. It consists of approximately 880 acres (3.6 ...

| | | | | | Defined: Encyclopedia II - Economy of Switzerland - Defining characteristics
Economy of Switzerland - Trade.
Apart from industry, Trade has been the key to prosperity in Switzerland. The country is dependent upon exports to generate income and on imports for raw materials and goods. With the notable exception of a strict policy of agricultural protectionism, Switzerland has liberal trade and investment policies. An expansive commercial and bank law system makes Switzerland one of the most secure investment places in the world. The Swiss franc is one of the world's soundest currencies, and the country is k ...

| | | | | Defined: Encyclopedia II - Value system - Defining Values Some fundamental values that most people seem to share, at least in theory, are:
"It's wrong to hurt, to harm, or especially to kill another person."
"It's wrong to steal from another person."
"It's wrong to lie."
In practice, realized examples of these values would be a good deal more complicated, with exceptions already embedded within them.
"It's wrong to hurt another person, except in self-defense to keep them from hurting you, or if it is agreed upon ...

| | | | | Defined: Encyclopedia II - Road safety - Defining the problem The standard measures used in assessing road safety interventions are fatalities and Killed or Seriously Injured (KSI) rates, usually per billion passenger kilometres.
Speed is a key goal of modern road design, but impact speed determines the severity of injury to both occupants and pedestrians. For occupants, Joksch (1993) found the probability of death for drivers in multi-vehicle accidents increased as the fourth power of impact speed (often referred to by the mathematica ...
