Usage examples of invariant.

If the brain were not, most of the time, invariant, unmoved by experience, we would be unable to survive, as indeed the fates of Funes and Shereskevskii attest.

These ratios are intrinsically pitch translation invariant, so the significance of consonant ratios explains both how pitch translation invariance is achieved, and also why it exists as a precise frequency scaling.

Intensity will be pitch translation invariant, for similar reasons to those that cause invariance of intensity in other maps.

It has robust translation invariance, because it is invariant under any transformation that is monotonic.

In that case, a Neptunian Warlock made a Noumenal Recording, but then gave himself the brain structure of an Invariant.

Sennec was of the Invariant neuroform, a highly integrated unicameral nervous system.

On the one hand, we have mechanism, repetition, inertia, constants, and invariants: the play of the material world, from the point of view of quantity, offers us the aspect of an immense transformation without gain or loss, a homogeneous transformation tending to maintain in itself an exact equivalence between the departure and arrival point.

The being was modeled along unemotional Invariant lines, perhaps to render it immune from Hortator pressure.

In some ways, he was the most powerful Hortator here, because the special psychological uniformity of the Invariants, the so-called Protocols of Sanity, ensured that all the populations of the Cities in Space would follow his lead.

Any computation that starts with absolute pitch values and results in a pitch translation invariant output will still be pitch translation invariant if the input values are first reduced to a value modulo octaves.

These ratios are intrinsically pitch translation invariant, so the significance of consonant ratios explains both how pitch translation invariance is achieved, and also why it exists as a precise frequency scaling.

In a very analogous manner, comparisons of ratios between pairs of time durations are required to achieve time scaling invariant perception of rhythm.

Following a similar methodology as for pitch translation invariance, play different rhythms at different tempos, and look for cortical maps whose response is time scaling invariant.

Glynn had thin hair and an invariant three-day growth of gray stubble and diverticulitis that made him stoop somewhat over, and remaining physique-type issues from a load of bricks falling on his head from a Workers Comp scam gone rye that included crossed eyes that Lenz overheard the veiled girl Joe L.

A psychological space is established for any set of stimuli by determining metric distances between the stimuli such that the probability that a response learned to any stimulus will generalize to any other is an invariant monotonic function of the distance between them.
