Considered a landmark study, Participation in America introduced the idea of "modes" of political involvement, uncovered the role of education in promoting participation and explored the way group solidarity and political institutions support political activism.
As Nicholas Jolley pointed out to me in conversation, a problem that arises here is that Locke ought to distinguish between a mode and an idea of a mode.
Complex ideas are of two kinds, ideas of substances and ideas of modes.
So, it seems, Locke needs a way to distinguish modes from ideas of modes.
When we make ideas of modes, the mind is again active, but the archetype is in our mind.
On either reading, however, it appears that Locke is saddled with the view that in cases of simple ideas, ideas of modes and mixed modes, if we understand the meanings of the words, we know all that there is to know regarding those concepts.
Since these modal ideas are not only made by us but serve as standards that things in the world either fit or do not fit and thus belong or do not belong to that sort, ideas of modes are clear and distinct, adequate and complete.
The idea of dual mode quantization comes from desire to exploit advantages of the both uniform and piecewise uniform quantizers, designed for discrete input samples.
I always really, really liked the idea of "Snap Mode" on Xbox One.
The principle idea of batch mode creation is to use a feature-based combination (here, DTW) collapsing sample utterances (hereinafter samples) into a single "average" utterance.
