coherence

Examples of coherence in the following topics:

• Ideology

  • Ideology is a coherent system of ideas that constitutes one's goals, expectations, and actions.

• Terminology Changes

  • Creating: Putting elements together to form a coherent or functional whole; reorganizing elements into a new pattern or structure through generating, planning, or producing.

• Using Metacommentary to Clarify and Elaborate

  • Here is a successful example of a meta-discussion: In writing Ulysses, James Joyce attempted to write a novel with a coherent narrative while breaking the narrative conventions, such as chronology and sentence structure, that readers assume are necessary to make a plot coherent.

• The Origins of Culture

  • Dunbar has proposed that language evolved as early humans began to live in large communities that required the use of complex communication to maintain social coherence.
  • Language and culture then both emerged as a means of using symbols to construct social identity and maintain coherence within a social group too large to rely exclusively on pre-human ways of building community (for example, grooming).

• Young's Double Slit Experiment

  • The example in uses two coherent light sources of a single monochromatic wavelength for simplicity.
  • (This means that the light sources were in the same phase. ) The two slits cause the two coherent light sources to interfere with each other either constructively or destructively.
  • Double slits produce two coherent sources of waves that interfere.

• Set Class and Prime Form (2)

  • Analytically, the concept of set class is useful because it can show coherence in a composition.

• The Functionalist Perspective

  • From this perspective, societies are seen as coherent, bounded, and fundamentally relational constructs that function like organisms, with their various parts (such as race) working together in an unconscious, quasi-automatic fashion toward achieving an overall social equilibrium.

• Lasers

  • Laser is distinct from other light sources for its high degree of spatial and temporal coherence, which means that laser outputs a narrow beam that maintains its temporal-phase relationship.

• Interference

  • Interference usually refers to the interaction of waves that are correlated or coherent with each other (i.e, "interfere" with each other), either because they come from the same source or because they have the same or nearly the same frequency.

• Air Wedge

  • An air wedge can be used with nearly any light source, including non-coherent white light.
