83Multi-configurational self-consistent field — Electronic structure methods Tight binding Nearly free electron model Hartree–Fock method Modern valence bond Generalized valence bond Møller–Plesset perturbation theory …
84Temporal theory (hearing) — The temporal theory of hearing states that our perception of sound depends on the temporal patterns with which neurons respond to sound in the cochlea. Therefore, the pitch of a pure tone would be determined by period of neuron firing patterns,… …
85model theory — The use of a model to test for the consistency of an axiomatized system is older than modern logic. Descartes s algebraic interpretation of Euclidean geometry provides a way of showing that if the theory of real numbers is consistent, so is the… …
86Structural information theory — (SIT) is a theory about human perception and, in particular, about perceptual organization, that is, about the way the human visual system organizes a raw visual stimulus into objects and object parts. SIT was initiated, in the 1960s, by Emanuel… …
87Maximal consistent set — In mathematics, a maximal consistent set is a set of formulae belonging to some formal language that satisfies the following constraints: * The set is consistent, that is, no formula is both provable and refutable. * The set is maximal , which… …
88confirmation theory — The theory of the measure to which evidence supports a theory. A fully formalized confirmation theory would dictate the degree of confidence that a rational investigator might have in a theory, given some body of evidence. The grandfather of… …
89Inner model theory — In set theory, inner model theory is the study of certain models of ZFC or some fragment or strengthening thereof. Ordinarily these models are transitive subsets or subclasses of the von Neumann universe V , or sometimes of a generic extension of …
