  2. Pullback (category theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pullback_(category_theory)

    Another example of a pullback comes from the theory of fiber bundles: given a bundle map π : E → B and a continuous map f : X → B, the pullback (formed in the category of topological spaces with continuous maps) X × B E is a fiber bundle over X called the pullback bundle. The associated commutative diagram is a morphism of fiber bundles.

  3. Models of communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Models_of_communication

    Many models of communication include the idea that a sender encodes a message and uses a channel to transmit it to a receiver. Noise may distort the message along the way. The receiver then decodes the message and gives some form of feedback. [1] Models of communication simplify or represent the process of communication.

  4. Source–message–channel–receiver model of communication

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source–message–channel...

    Each of the four main components has several key attributes. Source and receiver share the same four attributes: communication skills, attitudes, knowledge, and social-cultural system. Communication skills determine how good the communicators are at encoding and decoding messages. Attitudes affect whether they like or dislike the topic and each ...

  5. Pullback - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pullback

    The pullback bundle is an example that bridges the notion of a pullback as precomposition, and the notion of a pullback as a Cartesian square. In that example, the base space of a fiber bundle is pulled back, in the sense of precomposition, above. The fibers then travel along with the points in the base space at which they are anchored: the ...

  6. Conway's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway's_law

    The law is, in a strict sense, only about correspondence; it does not state that communication structure is the cause of system structure, merely describes the connection. Different commentators have taken various positions on the direction of causality; that technical design causes the organization to restructure to fit, [ 10 ] that the ...

  7. Limit (category theory) - Wikipedia

    The limit of this diagram is called the J th power of X and denoted X J. Equalizers. If J is a category with two objects and two parallel morphisms from one object to the other, then a diagram of shape J is a pair of parallel morphisms in C. The limit L of such a diagram is called an equalizer of those morphisms. Kernels.

  8. Regular category - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_category

    In category theory, a regular category is a category with finite limits and coequalizers of all pairs of morphisms called kernel pairs, satisfying certain exactness conditions. In that way, regular categories recapture many properties of abelian categories , like the existence of images , without requiring additivity.

  9. Pullback bundle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pullback_bundle

    In mathematics, a pullback bundle or induced bundle [1] [2] [3] is the fiber bundle that is induced by a map of its base-space. Given a fiber bundle π : E → B and a continuous map f : B′ → B one can define a "pullback" of E by f as a bundle f * E over B′. The fiber of f * E over a point b′ in B′ is just the fiber of E over f(b′).
