- Aggregates
- Linear set presentation
- Partitioning
- Isomorphic partitioning
- Invariants
- Hexachordal levels
- Harmony, "consistent with and derived from the properties of the referential set"

- Multidimensional set presentations.

Famous quotes containing the words mature and/or practice:
“Do they merit vitriol, even a drop of it? Yes, because they corrupt the young, persuading them that the mature world, which produced Beethoven and Schweitzer, sets an even higher value on the transient anodynes of youth than does youth itself.... They are the Hollow Men. They are electronic lice.”
—Anthony Burgess (b. 1917)
“They never consulted with books, and know and can tell much less than they have done. The things which they practice are said not yet to be known.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
