As Venn wrote in his 1880 article "On the Diagrammatic and Mechanical Representation of Propositions and Reasonings," the diagram is a means of visualizing the relationships between two or more sets of things.
Further evaluation of the mechanical model against alternative mechanisms in the natural population should reveal whether our proposition of the importance of the mechanical mate-grasping model is upheld.
Ironically, however, he had used the same general paradigm of two interacting forces to define, in his two sets of propositions, both the system of mechanical causes and the system of freedom.
With this method Boole had replaced the art of reasoning from premiss propositions to conclusion propositions by a routine mechanical algebraic procedure.
In fact, it was not until the late 1890s, after Edison had established production and recording facilities adjacent to the laboratory, that all the mechanical problems were overcome and the phonograph became a profitable proposition.
In the antinomies section of the Critique of Pure Reason, he shows that, for every "proof" of an important metaphysical proposition, such as determinism, atomism, or the eternity of the universe, a proof of the contrary proposition, such as the existence of exceptions to mechanical causality, infinite divisibility, or the temporal finitude of the world can be supplied.
Real mechanical components unavoidably have both mass and compliance so it is a practical proposition to make resonators as a single component.
Even with a higher upfront cost for the truck, they can offer better lifetime value in terms of mechanical systems maintenance and cost of powering the vehicle, which should help with the overall value proposition.
This chapter discusses the broad spectrum of physical attributes and mechanical properties of the entire family of polymer composites, which make some an inherently viable recycling proposition whilst leaving others consigned to landfill.
The directional nature of fibre reinforced polymer matrix composites makes them a more formidable proposition than do isotropic materials such as metals and plastics when attempting to measure their true mechanical properties.
