https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasmon | In physics, a plasmon is a quantum of plasma oscillation. Just as light (an optical oscillation) consists of photons, the plasma oscillation consists of plasmons. The plasmon can be considered as a quasiparticle since it arises from the quantization of plasma oscillations, just like phonons are quantizations of mechani... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reification%20%28computer%20science%29 | Reification is the process by which an abstract idea about a computer program is turned into an explicit data model or other object created in a programming language. A computable/addressable object—a resource—is created in a system as a proxy for a non computable/addressable object. By means of reification, something ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypergraph | In mathematics, a hypergraph is a generalization of a graph in which an edge can join any number of vertices. In contrast, in an ordinary graph, an edge connects exactly two vertices.
Formally, a directed hypergraph is a pair , where is a set of elements called nodes, vertices, points, or elements and is a set of pa... |
