"Instead of presenting a list of results, the graphs show clusters that display ideas or sites as physically close together because they are conceptually close together," said Alex Shapiro, the 25-year-old founder of TouchGraph.
Animations are especially compelling because they are conceptually congruent with what they convey: they use change in time to convey change in time (Tversky, Morrison, & Betrancourt, 2002).
As Smartsheet chairman Brent Frei told me earlier this month, the team decided to go with spreadsheets because they are "conceptually free, easy to share and people immediately know what to do".
In metamodernism, two seemingly opposed poles like radical pragmatism and dogmatic idealism are indistinguishable not because they're conceptually identical, but because they can be simultaneously instrumentalized (and thus, in a sense, transcended, one reason a major sub-sphere of metamodern critical theory is referred to as "transcendent metamodernism").
While other spaced seeds methods are more common, especially in the NGS alignment field, we have chosen block spaced seeds for NGS clustering, because they are conceptually simple and easy to optimize.
Although these nonlinearities are not physiologically realistic, they are conceptually useful because they each produced a stimulus ensemble that minimized the kurtosis yet achieved distinct correlation structures (Appendix figure 2B).
The resulting images are as visually enticing as they are conceptually baffling.
Because of the strong association between SOC and depression, some researchers have even questioned the extent to which they are conceptually distinct from one another [ 14, 43].
