Reverence                   is a strong sentiment of respect and esteem, sometimes                   mingled slightly with fear; as, reverence for the                   divine law. Awe is a mixed feeling of sublimity and                   dread in view of something great or terrible, sublime                   or sacred; as, awe at the divine presence. It does not                   necessarily imply love. Dread is an anxious fear in                   view of an impending evil; as, dread of punishment.                   Veneration is reverence in its strongest                   manifestations. It is the highest emotion we can                   exercise toward human beings. Exalted and noble                   objects produce reverence; terrific and threatening                   objects awaken dread; a sense of the divine presence                   fills us with awe; a union of wisdom and virtue in one                   who is advanced in years inspires us with veneration.

reference counting          A {garbage collection} technique where each       {memory cell} contains a count of the number of other cells       which point to it.   If this count reaches zero the cell is       freed and its {pointers} to other cells are followed to       decrement their counts, and so on {recursively}.          This technique cannot cope with {circular data structures}.       Cells in such structures refer (indirectly) to themselves and       so will never have a zero reference count.   This means they       would never be reclaimed, even when there are no references       from outside the structure.          (1995-02-22)

referential integrity          A collection of properties which should be       possessed by data in a {relational database}.          For example, in a database of family members, if we enter A as       a spouse of B, we should also enter B as a spouse of A.       Similarly, if we remove one end of the relationship we should       also remove the other.          (1998-02-18)
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
referential transparency          An expression E is referentially transparent if       any subexpression and its value (the result of evaluating it)       can be interchanged without changing the value of E.   This is       not the case if the value of an expression depends on global       state which can change value.   The most common example of       changing global state is assignment to a global variable.   For       example, if y is a global variable in:          f(x)       { return x+y; }          g(z)       {          a = f(1);          y = y + z;          return a + f(1);       }          function g has the "{side-effect}" that it alters the value of       y.   Since f's result depends on y, the two calls to f(1) will       return different results even though the argument is the same.       Thus f is not referentially transparent.   Changing the order       of evaluation of the statements in g will change its result.          {Pure functional languages} achieve referential transparency       by forbidding {assignment} to global variables.   Each       expression is a constant or a function application whose       evaluation has no side-effect, it only returns a value and       that value depends only on the definition of the function and       the values of its arguments.          We could make f above referentially transparent by passing in       y as an argument:          f(x, y) = x+y          Similarly, g would need to take y as an argument and return       its new value as part of the result:          g(z, y)       {          a = f(1, y);          y' = y+z;          return (a + f(1, y'), y');       }          Referentially transparent programs are more amenable to       {formal methods} and easier to reason about because the       meaning of an expression depends only on the meaning of its       subexpressions and not on the order of evaluation or       side-effects of other expressions.          We can stretch the concept of referential transparency to       include input and output if we consider the whole program to       be a function from its input to its output.   The program as a       whole is referentially transparent because it will always       produce the same output when given the same input.   This is       stretching the concept because the program's input may include       what the user types, the content of certain files or even the       time of day.   If we do not consider global state like the       contents of files as input, then writing to a file and reading       what was written behaves just like assignment to a global       variable.   However, if we must consider the state of the       universe as an input rather than global state then any       {deterministic} system would be referentially transparent!          See also {extensional equality}, {observational equivalence}.          (1997-03-25)
