Suppose, however, that we replace our criterion of identity by the following more complicated rule: x and y are the same relative to z, if both x and y differ from z at most by a single part.
(FG2) "In principle, TCM practitioners do not look at illness confined in a single part of the body.
Such systems are thus irreducible, and cannot be understood by dissection and analysis of a single part at a time.
"The speed at which you can get to a single part is much faster," said Roemer, since people can send a design directly from their computer to the 3-D printer.
However, it is becoming increasingly clear that many molecular behaviors result from the combined influence of several sequence determinants that cannot be neatly encapsulated within the physical boundaries of a single part, but rather emerge at the interface between the different parts (Cambray et al., 2013; Kosuri et al., 2013; Mutalik et al., 2012; Salis et al., 2009).
For the sake of illustration, we adopt the rule that only replacement of (at most) a single part by an exactly similar part preserves identity.
Not possible unless the customer is at the center of this broader ecosystem and not a single part in isolation.
"We will mould all the parts together at the same time, so our perception of what a single part is will change," says Mr Sirett.
A patient with breast cancer and a single part-solid GGN (unchanged at follow-up) was subjected to bronchoscopic examination, which showed the presence of a nonspecific inflammatory infiltrate (Fig. 4).
Let's pause for a moment and look at the single part of the letter to Harriet Harman where he actually cites some particular problems.
I think the amount of detail we go into – at every single part of the process, there are hundreds of decisions being made all the time, about colour, about texture, about detail, about light, about where you place something on a stage.
