  • However, since the very nature of a conflict is not binary, but multivalued, it is asking an unanswerable questionbecause the "high quality and high quantity" quadrant of the truth table in our example above, letting the guilty go free can easily be construed to overwhelm the actual conflict.

  • Under the old systems of physics that couldn't happen, of course -- it says in the textbooks -- but since it has been happening all through history, in thousands of instances, in the new systems of multivalued physics we recognize it.

  • It's interesting you say that, because that's exactly the DIT layout that I'm trying to use: groups are objectClass: posixGroup (with members 'IDs stored in memberUid multivalued attributes), while users are separate objects of objectClass: inetOrgPerson.

  • As further and further deviations were found, theories for crack propagation sometimes return to "non-Paris" forms, including in some cases combinations of crack length and stress range not obtained by the Irwin stress-intensity factor, or even data which would violate the 1961 original functional since they are multivalued (short cracks), and indeed return to the and a are separate variables.
