At this point Cobb might be tempted to make one last ditch stand, arguing that I have begged the question by merely assuming that a structured society can not be an enduring object, whereas what he is saying, when he says that one regional standpoint can include another, is that one enduring entity, one nonspatial, serially ordered society, can still be a structured society in that its temporally successive occasions can include the regional standpoints of the «narrower» actual entities which make up its subordinate societies and / or nexus.

Universal Algebra, in precisely this sense, is a poor framework for mathematics insofar as it unites spatial manifolds and symbolic logic by introducing the common notion of an algebraic manifold (Whitehead's terminology) or a semi-group (current standard terminology), an object with very little structure or intrinsic interest.9 In this case, generalization comes at the expense of abstract sterility.

In both aspects, God as the universal individual is strictly unsurpassable; and only by being thus unsurpassable both actively and passively can God be the God necessarily implied by the distinctive double structure of Christian faith, and thus be both the ground of unreserved trust and the object of unqualified loyalty.

The multiplicity of eternal objects could be ordered into a well - structured realm, and that ordering by actuality could serve as the reason why each eternal object is what it is and is definitely related to all other eternal objects.

The author uses the square dance as an analogy of Whitehead's eternal objects — the primary structure by which experience is unified.

Whitehead states that «in an animal body the presiding occasion if there be one, is the final node, or intersection, of a complex structure of many enduring objects» (PR 166f) and that an enduring object is «formed by the inheritance from presiding occasion to presiding occasion» (PR 167).

For example, children classify objects (stacking blocks by shape or sorting them by color); measure things («This cloth isn't big enough to cover the table»); count just about anything (coins, candy, people, toys, and so on); transform objects (stretching dough and making a flat circular shape); recognize patterns and shapes (building a symmetrical structure by putting a two unit block over two blocks); and explore spatial relations (finding a location or following directions).

The various measures of eye structure were analyzed for association with age, refraction (vision prescription), and accommodation (the ability to focus on distant or near objects by changing the shape of the lens of the eye).

The team solved the problem by surrounding the hot object with special nanophotonic structures that spectrally filter the emitted light, meaning that they let the light reflect or pass through based on its color (i.e. its wavelength).

McGreevy admits the quantum systems he and his colleagues studied were very abstract because they had properties that were smeared out continuously in space instead of varying in a stepwise, quantum fashion.Sachdev's has come up with a more realistic model, McGreevy says, by applying a gravitational object, a kind of black hole, to a quantum system with properties that vary stepwise along a lattice, just as in the lattice structure of strange metals.

CUP photographs an object with a specialty camera lens, which takes the photons from the object on a journey through a tube - like structure to a marvelous tiny apparatus called a digital micromirror device (DMD), smaller than a dime though hosting about 1 million micromirrors, each one just seven by seven microns squared.
