https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balance%20%28ability%29 | Balance in biomechanics, is an ability to maintain the line of gravity (vertical line from centre of mass) of a body within the base of support with minimal postural sway. Sway is the horizontal movement of the centre of gravity even when a person is standing still. A certain amount of sway is essential and inevitable ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-negation%20translation | In proof theory, a discipline within mathematical logic, double-negation translation, sometimes called negative translation, is a general approach for embedding classical logic into intuitionistic logic. Typically it is done by translating formulas to formulas which are classically equivalent but intuitionistically ine... |
