               January; Easter term, beginning on the 15th of April,
               and ending on the 8th of May; Trinity term, beginning
               on the 22d day of May, and ending on the 12th of June;
               Michaelmas term, beginning on the 2d and ending on the
               25th day of November. The rest of the year was called
               vacation. But this division has been practically
               abolished by the Judicature Acts of 1873, 1875, which
               provide for the more convenient arrangement of the
               terms and vacations. In the United States, the terms to
               be observed by the tribunals of justice are prescribed
               by the statutes of Congress and of the several States.
  
      6. (Logic) The subject or the predicate of a proposition; one
            of the three component parts of a syllogism, each one of
            which is used twice.
  
                     The subject and predicate of a proposition are,
                     after Aristotle, together called its terms or
                     extremes.                                          --Sir W.
                                                                              Hamilton.
  
      Note: The predicate of the conclusion is called the major
               term, because it is the most general, and the subject
               of the conclusion is called the minor term, because it
               is less general. These are called the extermes; and the
               third term, introduced as a common measure between
               them, is called the mean or middle term. Thus in the
               following syllogism, -- Every vegetable is combustible;
               Every tree is a vegetable; Therefore every tree is
               combustible, - combustible, the predicate of the
               conclusion, is the major term; tree is the minor term;
               vegetable is the middle term.
  
      7. A word or expression; specifically, one that has a

            --Chaucer.

      Note: The pillar part frequently tapers downward, or is

               legal terms -- Whitsunday, May 15, and Martinmas, Nov.
               11; and two conventional terms -- Candlemas, Feb. 2,
               and Lammas day, Aug. 1. --Mozley & W.

      {Term fee} (Law)
            (a), a fee by the term, chargeable to a suitor, or by law
                  fixed and taxable in the costs of a cause for each or

      {Terms of a proportion} (Math.), the four members of which it
            is composed.
  
      {To bring to terms}, to compel (one) to agree, assent, or
            submit; to force (one) to come to terms.
  
      {To make terms}, to come to terms; to make an agreement: to
            agree.
  
      Syn: Limit; bound; boundary; condition; stipulation; word;
               expression.
  
      Usage: {Term}, {Word}. These are more frequently interchanged
                  than almost any other vocables that occur of the
                  language. There is, however, a difference between them
                  which is worthy of being kept in mind. Word is
                  generic; it denotes an utterance which represents or
                  expresses our thoughts and feelings. Term originally
                  denoted one of the two essential members of a
                  proposition in logic, and hence signifies a word of
                  specific meaning, and applicable to a definite class
                  of objects. Thus, we may speak of a scientific or a
                  technical term, and of stating things in distinct
                  terms. Thus we say, [bd]the term minister literally
                  denotes servant;[b8] [bd]an exact definition of terms
                  is essential to clearness of thought;[b8] [bd]no term
                  of reproach can sufficiently express my
                  indignation;[b8] [bd]every art has its peculiar and
                  distinctive terms,[b8] etc. So also we say, [bd]purity
                  of style depends on the choice of words, and precision
                  of style on a clear understanding of the terms
                  used.[b8] Term is chiefly applied to verbs, nouns, and
                  adjectives, these being capable of standing as terms
                  in a logical proposition; while prepositions and
                  conjunctions, which can never be so employed, are
                  rarely spoken of as terms, but simply as words.

      1. (Anat.) A hollow, muscular organ, which, by contracting

                     Why does my blood thus muster to my heart! --Shak.
  
      Note: In adult mammals and birds, the heart is
               four-chambered, the right auricle and ventricle being
               completely separated from the left auricle and
               ventricle; and the blood flows from the systematic
               veins to the right auricle, thence to the right
               ventricle, from which it is forced to the lungs, then
               returned to the left auricle, thence passes to the left
               ventricle, from which it is driven into the systematic
               arteries. See Illust. under {Aorta}. In fishes there
               are but one auricle and one ventricle, the blood being
               pumped from the ventricle through the gills to the
               system, and thence returned to the auricle. In most
               amphibians and reptiles, the separation of the auricles
               is partial or complete, and in reptiles the ventricles
               also are separated more or less completely. The

   Trancscendent \Tranc*scend"ent\, n.
      That which surpasses or is supereminent; that which is very
      excellent.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Trancscendental \Tranc`scen*den"tal\, a. [Cf. F. transcendantal,
      G. transcendental.]
      1. Supereminent; surpassing others; as, transcendental being
            or qualities.
  
      2. (Philos.) In the Kantian system, of or pertaining to that
            which can be determined a priori in regard to the
            fundamental principles of all human knowledge. What is
            transcendental, therefore, transcends empiricism; but is
            does not transcend all human knowledge, or become
            transcendent. It simply signifies the a priori or
            necessary conditions of experience which, though affording
            the conditions of experience, transcend the sphere of that
            contingent knowledge which is acquired by experience.
  
      3. Vaguely and ambitiously extravagant in speculation,
            imagery, or diction.
  
      Note: In mathematics, a quantity is said to be transcendental
               relative to another quantity when it is expressed as a
               transcendental function of the latter; thus, a^{x},
               10^{2x}, log x, sin x, tan x, etc., are transcendental
               relative to x.

      {Transcendental equation} (Math.), an equation into which a

            quantities enters.
  
      {Transcendental function}. (Math.) See under {Function}.
  
      Syn: {Transcendental}, {Empirical}.
  
      Usage: These terms, with the corresponding nouns,
                  transcendentalism and empiricism, are of comparatively
                  recent origin. Empirical refers to knowledge which is
                  gained by the experience of actual phenomena, without
                  reference to the principles or laws to which they are
                  to be referred, or by which they are to be explained.
                  Transcendental has reference to those beliefs or
                  principles which are not derived from experience, and
                  yet are absolutely necessary to make experience
                  possible or useful. Such, in the better sense of the
                  term, is the transcendental philosophy, or
                  transcendentalism. Each of these words is also used in
                  a bad sense, empiricism applying to that one-sided
                  view of knowledge which neglects or loses sight of the
                  truths or principles referred to above, and trusts to
                  experience alone; transcendentalism, to the opposite
                  extreme, which, in its deprecation of experience,
                  loses sight of the relations which facts and phenomena
                  sustain to principles, and hence to a kind of
                  philosophy, or a use of language, which is vague,
                  obscure, fantastic, or extravagant.

            the relation of the arc of an ellipse to the straight
            lines connected therewith.
  
      {Explicit function}, a quantity directly expressed in terms
            of the independently varying quantity; thus, in the
            equations y = 6x^{2}, y = 10 -x^{3}, the quantity y is an
            explicit function of x.
  
      {Implicit function}, a quantity whose relation to the
            variable is expressed indirectly by an equation; thus, y
            in the equation x^{2} + y^{2} = 100 is an implicit
            function of x.
  
      {Inverse trigonometrical functions}, [or] {Circular
      function}, the lengths of arcs relative to the sines,
            tangents, etc. Thus, AB is the arc whose sine is BD, and
            (if the length of BD is x) is written sin ^{-1}x, and so
            of the other lines. See {Trigonometrical function}
            (below). Other transcendental functions are the
            exponential functions, the elliptic functions, the gamma
            functions, the theta functions, etc.
  
      {One-valued function}, a quantity that has one, and only one,
            value for each value of the variable. -- {Transcendental
      functions}, a quantity whose connection with the variable
            cannot be expressed by algebraic operations; thus, y in
            the equation y = 10^{x} is a transcendental function of x.
            See {Algebraic function} (above). -- {Trigonometrical
      function}, a quantity whose relation to the variable is the
            same as that of a certain straight line drawn in a circle
            whose radius is unity, to the length of a corresponding
            are of the circle. Let AB be an arc in a circle, whose
            radius OA is unity let AC be a quadrant, and let OC, DB,
            and AF be drawnpependicular to OA, and EB and CG parallel
            to OA, and let OB be produced to G and F. E Then BD is the
            sine of the arc AB; OD or EB is the cosine, AF is the
            tangent, CG is the cotangent, OF is the secant OG is the
            cosecant, AD is the versed sine, and CE is the coversed
            sine of the are AB. If the length of AB be represented by
            x (OA being unity) then the lengths of Functions. these
            lines (OA being unity) are the trigonometrical functions
            of x, and are written sin x, cos x, tan x (or tang x), cot
            x, sec x, cosec x, versin x, coversin x. These quantities
            are also considered as functions of the angle BOA.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Transcendentalism \Tran`scen*den"tal*ism\, n. [Cf. F.
      transcendantalisme, G. transcendentalismus.]
      1. (Kantian Philos.) The transcending, or going beyond,
            empiricism, and ascertaining a priori the fundamental
            principles of human knowledge.
  
      Note: As Schelling and Hegel claim to have discovered the
               absolute identity of the objective and subjective in
               human knowledge, or of things and human conceptions of
               them, the Kantian distinction between transcendent and
               transcendental ideas can have no place in their
               philosophy; and hence, with them, transcendentalism
               claims to have a true knowledge of all things, material
               and immaterial, human and divine, so far as the mind is
               capable of knowing them. And in this sense the word
               transcendentalism is now most used. It is also
               sometimes used for that which is vague and illusive in
               philosophy.
  
      2. Ambitious and imaginative vagueness in thought, imagery,
            or diction.

   Lichen \Li"chen\ (l[imac]"k[ecr]n; 277), n. [L., fr. Gr.
      leichh`n.]
      1. (Bot.) One of a class of cellular, flowerless plants,
            (technically called {Lichenes}), having no distinction of
            leaf and stem, usually of scaly, expanded, frond-like
            forms, but sometimes erect or pendulous and variously
            branched. They derive their nourishment from the air, and
            generate by means of spores. The species are very widely
            distributed, and form irregular spots or patches, usually
            of a greenish or yellowish color, upon rocks, trees, and
            various bodies, to which they adhere with great tenacity.
            They are often improperly called {rock moss} or {tree
            moss}.
  
      Note: A favorite modern theory of lichens (called after its
               inventor the Schwendener hypothesis), is that they are
               not autonomous plants, but that they consist of
               ascigerous fungi, parasitic on alg[91]. Each lichen is
               composed of white filaments and green, or greenish,
               rounded cells, and it is argued that the two are of
               different nature, the one living at the expense of the
               other. See {Hyph[91]}, and {Gonidia}.

   Lichen \Li"chen\ (l[imac]"k[ecr]n; 277), n. [L., fr. Gr.
      leichh`n.]
      1. (Bot.) One of a class of cellular, flowerless plants,
            (technically called {Lichenes}), having no distinction of
            leaf and stem, usually of scaly, expanded, frond-like
            forms, but sometimes erect or pendulous and variously
            branched. They derive their nourishment from the air, and
            generate by means of spores. The species are very widely
            distributed, and form irregular spots or patches, usually
            of a greenish or yellowish color, upon rocks, trees, and
            various bodies, to which they adhere with great tenacity.
            They are often improperly called {rock moss} or {tree
            moss}.
  
      Note: A favorite modern theory of lichens (called after its
               inventor the Schwendener hypothesis), is that they are
               not autonomous plants, but that they consist of
               ascigerous fungi, parasitic on alg[91]. Each lichen is
               composed of white filaments and green, or greenish,
               rounded cells, and it is argued that the two are of
               different nature, the one living at the expense of the
               other. See {Hyph[91]}, and {Gonidia}.
  
      2. (Med.) A name given to several varieties of skin disease,
            esp. to one characterized by the eruption of small,
            conical or flat, reddish pimples, which, if unchecked,
            tend to spread and produce great and even fatal
            exhaustion.

   Kingbird \King"bird\ (-b[etil]rd), n. (Zo[94]l.)
      1. A small American bird ({Tyrannus tyrannus}, or {T.
            Carolinensis}), noted for its courage in attacking larger
            birds, even hawks and eagles, especially when they
            approach its nest in the breeding season. It is a typical
            tyrant flycatcher, taking various insects upon the wing.
            It is dark ash above, and blackish on the head and tail.
            The quills and wing coverts are whitish at the edges. It
            is white beneath, with a white terminal band on the tail.
            The feathers on the head of the adults show a bright
            orange basal spot when erected. Called also {bee bird},
            and {bee martin}. Several Southern and Western species of
            {Tyrannus} are also called king birds.

   Turing tar-pit n.   1. A place where anything is possible but
   nothing of interest is practical.   Alan Turing helped lay the
   foundations of computer science by showing that all machines and
   languages capable of expressing a certain very primitive set of
   operations are logically equivalent in the kinds of computations
   they can carry out, and in principle have capabilities that differ
   only in speed from those of the most powerful and elegantly designed
   computers.   However, no machine or language exactly matching
   Turing's primitive set has ever been built (other than possibly as a
   classroom exercise), because it would be horribly slow and far too
   painful to use.   A `Turing tar-pit' is any computer language or
   other tool that shares this property.   That is, it's theoretically
   universal -- but in practice, the harder you struggle to get any
   real work done, the deeper its inadequacies suck you in.   Compare
   {bondage-and-discipline language}.   2. The perennial {holy wars}

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   Turing Machine
  
      A hypothetical machine defined in 1935-6 by
      {Alan Turing} and used for {computability theory} proofs.   It
      consists of an infinitely long "tape" with symbols (chosen
      from some {finite set}) written at regular intervals.   A
      pointer marks the current position and the machine is in one
      of a finite set of "internal states".   At each step the
      machine reads the symbol at the current position on the tape.
      For each combination of current state and symbol read, a
      program specifies the new state and either a symbol to write
      to the tape or a direction to move the pointer (left or right)
      or to halt.
  
      In an alternative scheme, the machine writes a symbol to the
      tape *and* moves at each step.   This can be encoded as a write
      state followed by a move state for the write-or-move machine.
      If the write-and-move machine is also given a distance to move
      then it can emulate an write-or-move program by using states
      with a distance of zero.   A further variation is whether
      halting is an action like writing or moving or whether it is a
      special state.
  
      [What was Turing's original definition?]
  
      Without loss of generality, the symbol set can be limited to
      just "0" and "1" and the machine can be restricted to start on
      the leftmost 1 of the leftmost string of 1s with strings of 1s
      being separated by a single 0.   The tape may be infinite in
      one direction only, with the understanding that the machine
      will halt if it tries to move off the other end.
  
      All computer {instruction set}s, {high level language}s and
      computer architectures, including {parallel processor}s, can
      be shown to be equivalent to a Turing Machine and thus
      equivalent to each other in the sense that any problem that
      one can solve, any other can solve given sufficient time and
      memory.
  
      Turing generalised the idea of the Turing Machine to a
      "Universal Turing Machine" which was programmed to read
      instructions, as well as data, off the tape, thus giving rise
      to the idea of a general-purpose programmable computing
      device.   This idea still exists in modern computer design with
      low level {microcode} which directs the reading and decoding
      of higher level {machine code} instructions.
  
      A {busy beaver} is one kind of Turing Machine program.
  
      Dr. Hava Siegelmann of {Technion} reported in Science of 28
      Apr 1995 that she has found a mathematically rigorous class of
      machines, based on ideas from {chaos} theory and {neural
      network}s, that are more powerful than Turing Machines.   Sir
      Roger Penrose of {Oxford University} has argued that the brain
      can compute things that a Turing Machine cannot, which would
      mean that it would be impossible to create {artificial
      intelligence}.   Dr. Siegelmann's work suggests that this is
      true only for conventional computers and may not cover {neural
      network}s.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   Turing tar-pit
  
      A place where anything is possible but nothing of interest is
      practical.   {Alan M. Turing} helped lay the foundations of
      computer science by showing that all machines and languages
      capable of expressing a certain very primitive set of
      operations are logically equivalent in the kinds of
      computations they can carry out, and in principle have
      capabilities that differ only in speed from those of the most
      powerful and elegantly designed computers.   However, no
      machine or language exactly matching Turing's primitive set
      has ever been built (other than possibly as a classroom
      exercise), because it would be horribly slow and far too
      painful to use.
  
      A "Turing tar-pit" is any computer language or other tool that
      shares this property.   That is, it's theoretically universal
      but in practice, the harder you struggle to get any real work
      done, the deeper its inadequacies suck you in.   Compare
      {bondage-and-discipline language}.
  
      A tar pit is a geological occurence where subterranean tar
      leaks to the surface, creating a large puddle (or pit) of tar.
      Animals wandering or falling in get stuck, being unable to
      extricate themselves from the tar.   La Brea, California, has a
      museum built around the fossilized remains of mammals and
      birds found in such a tar pit.

   Turing test
  
      A criterion proposed by {Alan
      Turing} in 1950 for deciding whether a computer is
      intelligent.   Turing called it "the Imitation Game" and
      offered it as a replacement for the question, "Can machines
      think?"
  
      A human holds a written conversation on any topic with an
      unseen correspondent (nowadays it might be by {electronic
      mail} or {chat}).   If the human believes he is talking to
      another human when he is really talking to a computer then the
      computer has passed the Turing test and is deemed to be
      intelligent.
  
      Turing predicted that within 50 years (by the year 2000)
      technological progress would produce computing machines with a
      capacity of 10**9 bits, and that with such machinery, a
      computer program would be able to fool the average questioner
      for 5 minutes about 70% of the time.
  
      The {Loebner Prize} is a competition to find a computer
      program which can pass an unrestricted Turing test.
  
      {Julia (http://fuzine.mt.cs.cmu.edu/mlm/julia.html)} is a
      program that attempts to pass the Turing test.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Trance
      (Gr. ekstasis, from which the word "ecstasy" is derived) denotes
      the state of one who is "out of himself." Such were the trances
      of Peter and Paul, Acts 10:10; 11:5; 22:17, ecstasies, "a
      preternatural, absorbed state of mind preparing for the
      reception of the vision", (comp. 2 Cor. 12:1-4). In Mark 5:42
      and Luke 5:26 the Greek word is rendered "astonishment,"
      "amazement" (comp. Mark 16:8; Acts 3:10).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Transfiguration, the
      of our Lord on a "high mountain apart," is described by each of
      the three evangelists (Matt. 17:1-8; Mark 9:2-8; Luke 9:28-36).
      The fullest account is given by Luke, who, no doubt, was
      informed by Peter, who was present on the occasion. What these
      evangelists record was an absolute historical reality, and not a
      mere vision. The concurrence between them in all the
      circumstances of the incident is exact. John seems to allude to
      it also (John 1:14). Forty years after the event Peter
      distinctly makes mention of it (2 Pet. 1:16-18). In describing
      the sanctification of believers, Paul also seems to allude to
      this majestic and glorious appearance of our Lord on the "holy
      mount" (Rom. 12:2; 2 Cor. 3:18).
     
         The place of the transfiguration was probably Mount Hermon
      (q.v.), and not Mount Tabor, as is commonly supposed.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Tyrannus
      prince, a Greek rhetorician, in whose "school" at Ephesus Paul
      disputed daily for the space of two years with those who came to

      his "school" was a private synagogue.
