A New Investigation of the Nature of Abstract Categories
نویسندگان
چکیده
Concrete and abstract categories are alike in that they show graded structure. They are also said to differ in that the degree of feature overlap between a category and its exemplars can predict the graded structure of the former, but not of the latter kind of category. We show how one can improve upon this prediction by taking distinctive features into consideration and argue that concrete and abstract categories might not be that differently structured after all.

Numerous experimental studies approve the success of these programs in regard to some purposes like reduction of recidivism rate or reintegration. So that one can say that nature-therapy is about to convert to a successfu...
متن کاملDynamic Categorization of Semantics of Fashion Language: A Memetic Approach
Categories are not invariant. This paper attempts to explore the dynamic nature of semantic category, in particular, that of fashion language, based on the cognitive theory of Dawkins’ memetics, a new theory of cultural evolution. Semantic attributes of linguistic memes decrease or proliferate in replication and spreading, which involves a dynamic development of semantic category. More specific...
متن کاملA Universal Investigation of $n$-representations of $n$-quivers
noindent We have two goals in this paper. First, we investigate and construct cofree coalgebras over $n$-representations of quivers, limits and colimits of $n$-representations of quivers, and limits and colimits of coalgebras in the monoidal categories of $n$-representations of quivers. Second, for any given quivers $mathit{Q}_1$,$mathit{Q}_2$,..., $mathit{Q}_n$, we construct a new quiver $math...

A successful software should be finalized with determined and predetermined cost and time. Software is a production which its approximate cost is expert workforce and professionals. The most important and approximate software cost estimation (SCE) is related to the trained workforce. Creative nature of software projects and its abstract nature make extremely cost and time of projects difficult ...
