In television land, a cartoonist team died in the familiar order, first Hanna (William) and then Barbera (Joseph).
Unmistakably, the premise of the "stories" is that if the familiar order of paternalist European empire is challenged by Rousseau-esque primitivism, chaos will ensue.
Comedy is a grid of unsuspected associations; the synaptic leaps are corrosive abstractions, no less than social or biological science, which threaten the familiar order of things by pointing out its absurdities.
Though it is an article of faith in pop histories that satire is for the oppressed against the oppressor, if there is a single continuous thread running through the history of satire it is this natural affinity for familiar order.
Most people, though, felt unsettled – for a few days the familiar order of things seemed to have been disturbed, as if a curtain had been lifted on a world of different and disturbing possibilities then, swiftly, dropped back into place.
(The equivalence of N and its proper subset formed by the squares of its elements was noted by Galileo Galilei in 1638, who concluded that the notions of less than, equal to, and greater than did not apply to infinite sets.) When applied to natural numbers used as cardinals, the relation < (less than) coincides with the familiar ordering relation for N, so that < is an extension of that relation.
We define a new concept, termed the spectral order of accuracy (SOoA), which is the spectral domain analogue of the familiar order of accuracy (OoA).
In our study, horses seemed surprised to hear the familiar order given by an unknown voice, as shown by their increased monitoring behaviour (violation of expectations).
More interesting is the finding that whatever the condition, horses monitored much more and for longer times the unknown person, as if they were surprised to hear the familiar order given by an unknown voice.
Here, we used a task where horses have to remain immobile under a vocal order to test whether they are sensitive to the attentional state of the experimenter, but also whether they behave and respond differently to the familiar order when tested by a familiar or an unknown person.
