Meaning of anticontinuum | Babel Free

Definitions

Something that does not present as a continuum.

Examples

“Note⟳ that the space we invoke was constructed from finite particle motions assumed to be specified to some approximate numerical accuracy; we do not have⟳ to assume⟳ that this accuracy of measurement can be increased indefinitely (in fact this is ruled out by our anticontinuum corrolary to the Democritean postulate).”

“In light⟳ of all of this anticontinuum theorizing, was no part of Rich's model⟳ (and the relationship it hoped to enable) worth preserving because of the potential for homophobic mishandling found at its base⟳?”

“After predicting theoretically the existence of the discrete breathers in the continuum and anticontinuum limits of intersite coupling, we use⟳ numerical continuation to compute a family of breathers interpolating between the two regimes in a finite chain, where the displacement profiles of the breathers are localized around one or two lattice sites.”
