  2. Gestalt psychology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gestalt_psychology

    In Gestalt theory, information is perceived as wholes rather than disparate parts which are then processed summatively. As used in Gestalt psychology, the German word Gestalt (/ ɡəˈʃtælt, - ˈʃtɑːlt / gə-SHTA (H)LT, [4][5] German: [ɡəˈʃtalt] ⓘ; meaning "form" [6]) is interpreted as "pattern" or "configuration". [7]

  3. Configuration management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Configuration_management

    Configuration management (CM) is a management process for establishing and maintaining consistency of a product's performance, functional, and physical attributes with its requirements, design, and operational information throughout its life. [1][2] The CM process is widely used by military engineering organizations to manage changes throughout ...

  4. Configuration model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Configuration_model

    Degree sequence and different network realizations in the configuration model [] In network science, the configuration model is a method for generating random networks from a given degree sequence. It is widely used as a reference model for real-life social networks, because it allows the modeler to incorporate arbitrary degree distributions.

  5. Configurational analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Configurational_analysis

    Configurational analysis. In cultural and social studies, configurations are patterns of behaviour, movement (→ movement culture) and thinking, which research observes when analysing different cultures and/ or historical changes. The term “configurations” is mostly used by comparative anthropological studies and by cultural history.

  6. Aufbau principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aufbau_principle

    t. e. In atomic physics and quantum chemistry, the Aufbau principle (/ ˈaʊfbaʊ /, from German: Aufbauprinzip, lit. ' building-up principle '), also called the Aufbau rule, states that in the ground state of an atom or ion, electrons first fill subshells of the lowest available energy, then fill subshells of higher energy.

  7. Automata theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automata_theory

    Automata theory is the study of abstract machines and automata, as well as the computational problems that can be solved using them. It is a theory in theoretical computer science with close connections to mathematical logic. The word automata comes from the Greek word αὐτόματος, which means "self-acting, self-willed, self-moving". An ...

  8. Hund's rules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hund's_rules

    Hund's rules. In atomic physics and quantum chemistry, Hund's rules refers to a set of rules that German physicist Friedrich Hund formulated around 1925, which are used to determine the term symbol that corresponds to the ground state of a multi-electron atom. The first rule is especially important in chemistry, where it is often referred to ...

  9. Configuration (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Configuration_(geometry)

    Configuration (geometry) Configurations (4 3 6 2) (a complete quadrangle, at left) and (6 2 4 3) (a complete quadrilateral, at right). In mathematics, specifically projective geometry, a configuration in the plane consists of a finite set of points, and a finite arrangement of lines, such that each point is incident to the same number of lines ...
