(Roughly, the idea is to begin with the sum as it would exist if every element of the set were a definite part of it, and then calculate the actual degree of existence of the sum as a function of the degree to which each element of the set is actually part of it).
Van Inwagen (1990: 228) takes this to be a rather obvious consequence of the approach, but N. Smith (2005: 399ff) goes further and provides a detailed analysis of how one can calculate the degree to which a given non-empty set of things has a sum, i.e., the degree of existence of the sum.
These degrees of existence are acts of the divine essence such that even cosmological proofs are ultimately ontological.
This simple and higher intellect is not abstracted but contains all lower and complex forms and degrees of existence.
The best of these stories confirm Bolaño's ideal of literature as a voyage to the zero degree of human existence, to the abyss, as Baudelaire, another of his heroes, would call it, where we lose the self in order to find it again.
The captain of this quixotic craft, mourning a lost mistress, methodically keeps himself semi-inebriated; the boat's mechanic is a silent Indian; and the pilot's "features, gestures, voice, and other personal traits have been carried to so perfect a degree of non-existence that they can never stay in our memories".
This result implies, with a high degree of plausibility, the existence of one-to-one correspondence between H/s and R regardless of materials.
Data obtained indicated that onset of base surface-entrapment induced explosive boiling-caused trigger shocks is a result of complex combination of surface wettability, type of coating (organic versus inorganic), degree of coating wearoff, existence of bypass pathways for pressure relief, charring and non-condensable gas (NCG) release potential.
For example, the court had at least two opportunities theoretically to proclaim with some degree of certainty the existence of same-sex marriage, but it found interesting ways to slide away in both cases.
Therefore, these four protein phylogenies support, with a high degree of confidence, the existence of a viral clade with ancestral DNA replication machinery branching separately from Eukarya and Archaea.
Second, because of the type of design adopted, we could not assume, with any degree of certainty, the existence of any temporal relationship between the event and the presence of risk factors.
