Partial Function Implemented

Famous quotes containing the words partial and/or function:

    America is hard to see.
    Less partial witnesses than he
    In book on book have testified
    They could not see it from outside....
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    The information links are like nerves that pervade and help to animate the human organism. The sensors and monitors are analogous to the human senses that put us in touch with the world. Data bases correspond to memory; the information processors perform the function of human reasoning and comprehension. Once the postmodern infrastructure is reasonably integrated, it will greatly exceed human intelligence in reach, acuity, capacity, and precision.
    Albert Borgman, U.S. educator, author. Crossing the Postmodern Divide, ch. 4, University of Chicago Press (1992)
