Each point x in phase space represents a possible physical state (also known as a phase) of the classical dynamical system; it is uniquely specified by an ordered list of 6 (more generally, 6N for an N particle system) numerical values, meaning a 6 dimensional vector.
Unlike a typewriter, in which a single key uniquely specifies each letter, the ASCII code uses multiple bits to determine a letter: it is an example of what computer scientists call a distributed code.
Note that λ uniquely specifies the deterministic part of this equation and its steady-state solution x − k = λ k e − λ / k !
A resolving set for a graph Γ is a collection of vertices S, chosen so that for each vertex v, the list of distances from v to the members of S uniquely specifies v.
Hence, Aumann correlated equilibrium uniquely specifies the strategy of each agent, by explicitly introducing a space of possible worlds to which agents can correlate their acts.
Each identifier uniquely specifies a sequence module.
Each alignment pair uniquely specifies a junction candidate: the new sequence that would exist in the sample DNA if two discontinuous regions of the reference genome were joined.
In the SFF model, location of a repeat block uniquely specifies alignment within the block, because all symbols from sequence X must come first (aligned to gaps), followed by symbols from sequence Y.
The λ parameter uniquely specifies this distribution, and is equal to the expected value (mean) and variance (i.e. E[ Y ij ] = Var(Y ij ) = λ ij for all i and j).
On the other hand, there may not exist any consistent chemical structure if K is large; thus it may not be appropriate to uniquely specify a feature vector.
As has long been recognized, however, the transformation of three-dimensional (3-D) space into two-dimensional (2-D) projections on the retina means that an image cannot uniquely specify its source, and therefore that visual perception cannot be determined simply by encoding the physical characteristics of retinal stimuli.
