Anomaly (physics), a failure of a symmetry of a theory's classical action. Conformal anomaly, a quantum phenomenon that breaks the conformal symmetry of the classical theory.

Nominative determinism, literally "name-driven outcome", [41] is the hypothesis that people tend to gravitate towards areas of work which reflect their names. The name fits because people, possibly subconsciously, made themselves fit. Nominative determinism differs from the concept of aptronyms in that it focuses on causality.
