  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. 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.

  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. 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 ...

  6. Space syntax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_syntax

    Space syntax is a set of theories and techniques for the analysis of spatial configurations. It was conceived by Bill Hillier, Julienne Hanson, and colleagues at The Bartlett, University College London in the late 1970s to early 1980s to develop insights into the mutually constructive relation between society and space. [1][2] As space syntax ...

  7. 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 ...

  8. Configuration graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Configuration_graph

    A configuration graph is a directed labeled graph where the label of the vertices are the possible configurations of the models and where there is an edge from one configuration to another if it corresponds to a computational step of the model. [citation needed] The initial and accepting configuration (s) of the machine are special vertices of ...

  9. Configuration entropy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Configuration_entropy

    Configuration entropy. In statistical mechanics, configuration entropy is the portion of a system's entropy that is related to discrete representative positions of its constituent particles. For example, it may refer to the number of ways that atoms or molecules pack together in a mixture, alloy or glass, the number of conformations of a ...
