Rational Science Lexicon

Rational definitions are those that can be used consistently for the purposes of making rational explanations about reality; a process called Science.  I hope you find this compilation edifying. 



Angle:
The pattern formed by two straight edges fused at one end of an object lying on a plane facing the observer.

Authority:
An executor of morals.

Assumption:
Statements accepted at face value used as the foundations of theories in Science.

Certainty:
Having one's mind made up about a particular belief or prediction.

Concept:
An association between two objects or two locations of an object (relationship between objects or, nested concepts)
Concepts may relate real or imaginary objects.

Continuous:
Not having discrete parts, indivisible

Definition:
A limitation placed on the utility of a word.

Dimension:
Spatial extent of an object. Length, width, and height.

Discrete:
Synonym for object.  That which is contoured all around.

Distance:
The space between who surfaces; a discontinuity in matter

Energy:
the ability to do work
*Note: Energy is an abstraction- only object do work.  Ability has no shape; it only relates matter, distance traveled, and the time it takes to get there.

Edge:
The attribute of an object that provides closure and distinguishes it from the background

Exists:
object with a location, physical presence

Field:
A region of space.

Force:
Surface to surface contact resulting in the displacement of an object. (e.g. push, pull)

Hypothesis:
Making assumptions in order to explain a theory by providing exhibits of objects, definitions of terms & a statement of the facts

Irrational:
Any communication that cannot be resolved to a single possible meaning, but instead leaves it up to the interpreter to choose amongst various possible meanings.

Knowledge:
A precise prediction of the outcome of future events.

Law:
Morals accepted by the majority of people.

Length:
the continuous matter between two surfaces.

Life:
the ability an object has naturally developed to move on it's own against gravity.

Line:
An elongated rectangle

Location:
the set of static distances to all other objects

Motion:
Two or more locations.

Moral:
Any behavior, action, or relation regarded by the individual as preferable to impose upon others.

Object:
that which has shape

Parallel:
Equidistant straight edges throughout the length of the shortest one, where the distance is regarded in the direction in which the edge faces.

Perpendicular:
A pattern formed by two straight edges: one lying horizontal and the other standing vertical.

Point (physics):
A small circular dot.

Point (mathematics):
A location.

Predictions:
A description about what one thinks might happen in the future.

Rational:
Any communication that can be resolved to a single possible meaning.

Reality, Real:
Existing objects and how they are related to one another.

Science
Rational explanations for physical phenomena involving Hypothesis and Theory.

Shape:
That which distinguishes inside from outside; a discontinuity in space.

Space:
that which does not have shape; boundless nothing.

Theory:
Physical explanation of how hypothesized objects mediate phenomena.

Thing:
Physical object, being

Universe:
matter (atoms) and space (nothing)
The Universe is a term used to compass the set of all things (atoms) and the nothingness that separating each and every one, allowing for motion.
