canonical
(adjective)
According to recognized or orthodox rules.
Examples of canonical in the following topics:
-
Some Useful Terms
- Canon - In a canon, different voices (or instruments) sing (or play) the same melody, with no changes, but at different times.
- The melody is usually sung at the same pitch or an octave higher or lower, but there are also canons in which the second part sings or plays the melody a perfect fourth or fifth higher or lower than the first part.
- Round - In a canon, obviously every section of the canon must "fit" with the section that comes after it.
- A round is a special type of canon in which the last section also fits with the first section, so that the canon can be repeated over and over without stopping.
- The different voices enter at different times on the same melodic theme (called the subject), so that the beginning may sound like a canon.
-
Resonance
- The application of resonance to this case requires a weighted averaging of these canonical structures.
- These are the canonical forms to be considered, and all must have the same number of paired and unpaired electrons.
- The following factors are important in evaluating the contribution each of these canonical structures makes to the actual molecule.
- The stability of a resonance hybrid is always greater than the stability of any canonical contributor.
- In each case the most stable canonical form is on the left.
-
Sculpture in the Greek High Classical Period
- He was also an art theorist who developed a canon of proportion (called the Canon) that is demonstrated in his statue of Doryphoros (Spear Bearer) Many of Polykleitos's bronze statues from the Classical period, including the Doryphoros, survive only as Roman copies executed in marble.
- Another example of the Canon at work is seen in Polykleitos's statue of Diadumenos, a youth trying on a headband and his statue Discophoros, a discus bearer.
- The nudity allows the harmony of parts, or symmetria, to easily be seen, illustrating the principles discussed in the Canon.
- The Canon focused on the proportion of parts of the body in relationship to each other to create the ideal male form.
- The Discophoros and Diadumenos, along with the Doryphoros, demonstrate the flexibility of composition based on the Canon and the innate liveliness produced by contrapposto postures.

Reactions of Fused Benzene Rings
- Three canonical resonance contributors may be drawn, and are displayed in the following diagram.
-
Introduction to Packaging
- The canonical form for distribution of free software is as source code.
-
Figure
- Impressionist painters portrayed ordinary subjects in a simple, natural, and realistic style, breaking the traditional canon of painting.
- Captured in a realistic fashion, as they-were-seen by the artists, the portrayal of these ordinary subjects represents one of the main breaks with the traditional canon of painting campaigned by the rebellious impressionists.
- In Olympia he purposefully deviates from the academic canon in its style, characterized by broad, quick brushstrokes, studio lighting that eliminates mid-tones, large color surfaces and shallow depth.
-
Acidity of Phenols
- An important principle of resonance is that charge separation diminishes the importance of canonical contributors to the resonance hybrid and reduces the overall stabilization.
- On the other hand, the phenolate anion is already charged, and the canonical contributors act to disperse the charge, resulting in a substantial stabilization of this species.
-
Boundless Subjects and Alignments
- The ordering of the concepts in the book and the titles of the chapters and sections are the distinguishing characteristics of the canonical Boundless version of a subject textbook.

Marble Sculpture and Architecture in the Greek Early Classical Period
- He is most renowned for his treatise on the male nude, known as the Canon, which describes the ideal, aesthetic body based on mathematical proportions and Classical conventions such as contrapposto.
- His Doryphoros, or Spear Bearer, is believed to be his representation of the Canon in sculpted form.
- The statue, as a visualization of Polykletios's canon, also depicts the Greek sense of symmetria, the harmony of parts, seen here in the body's proportions.
- Polykleitos's Doryphoros, or Spear Bearer, is believed to be his representation of the Canon in sculpted form.

Journalistic Standards
- Historically and currently, journalists consider the subset of media ethics as their professional "code of ethics" or "canons of journalism".
- These basic codes and canons commonly appear in statements drafted by professional journalism associations and individual print, broadcast, and online news organizations.
- The codes and canons provide journalists with a framework for self-monitoring and self-correction.
