| If one of the frequencies vanishes on the average, the periodic term becomes nearly constant, or secular, and the asteroid is locked into an exact orbital resonance near the particular mean motion commensurability. |
| Cultural commensurability, he suggests, provides a solid ground for the mutual respect of different cultures. |
| The notion of interdependence between elements of complex traditions also tells us something about commensurability and relativism. |
| The reason of these discords I conceive to be that there is no commensurability between a man and any gift. |
| These criticisms are frequently heard from those who contest the commensurability in question. |
| For asteroids near the 3 1 commensurability with Jupiter, the orbit then crosses that of Mars, whose gravitational interaction in a close encounter can remove the asteroid from the 3 1 zone. |
