Kicking off tomorrow at New York's Bitforms Gallery is Touched: A Space of Relations, an exhibition that aims to explore "the sense of touch as a metaphor of bodily presence and an extension across boundary".
Part of the theoretical challenge will be to map out the space of relations among three dimensions of sociotechnical systems that must be explored: (1) the demands created by different work domains, (2) the types of organisational and social structures and (3) the opportunities afforded by advancing technologies.
A number of authors have argued that these three comparative relations do not exhaust the space of comparative relations.
We consider a probability space ( Ω, F, P ) with filtration { F t } as a space of trade relations.
Langer (1953) weaves architecture into her broader theory of symbolic form; to accommodate architecture as an expressive, abstract art, despite its representational moments, she highlights its capacity to shape space in virtue of relations among constituent forms and so (abstractly) express motion or feeling.
It is a much bigger deal than has been recognized that the space of perfectly natural relations must, apparently, encompass more than just the spatiotemporal relations (and not just in some possible world, but in the actual world).
(Though even this passage has its subtleties, because of the ideality of space discussed above, and because in Leibniz's conception space determines what sets of relations are possible).
The second pillar of Leibniz's positive account of space and time is rooted in his view that — even understood as systems of relations — space and time as "beings of reason" are in a sense at least two steps removed from the monads of his mature metaphysics.
We consider the problem of representing in Hilbert space commutation relations of the form [GRAPHICS] where the Tklij are essentially arbitrary scalar coefficients.
Obstacles related to the physical environment (e.g., noise, amount of space), family relations (e.g., distractions caused by family, lack of time to spend with family), and equipment (e.g., unavailability, misplacement) were the most frequently experienced performance obstacles.
Traditional epidemiology has also much to learn from them, about integral notions of space, sustainable relations between nature and humanity, a healthy conception of time, a harmonious management of the planet's energies and about a fair, equitable and protective construction of social relations.
