Map symbolA map symbol or cartographic symbol is a graphical device used to visually represent a real-world feature on a map, working in the same fashion as other forms of symbols. Map symbols may include point markers, lines, regions, continuous fields, or text; these can be designed visually in their shape, size, color, pattern, and other graphic variables to represent a variety of information about each phenomenon being represented.
Born coordinatesIn relativistic physics, the Born coordinate chart is a coordinate chart for (part of) Minkowski spacetime, the flat spacetime of special relativity. It is often used to analyze the physical experience of observers who ride on a ring or disk rigidly rotating at relativistic speeds, so called Langevin observers. This chart is often attributed to Max Born, due to his 1909 work on the relativistic physics of a rotating body. For overview of the application of accelerations in flat spacetime, see Acceleration (special relativity) and proper reference frame (flat spacetime).
SynesthésieLa synesthésie (du grec syn, « avec » (union), et aesthesis, « sensation ») est un phénomène neurologique non pathologique par lequel deux ou plusieurs sens sont associés (de manière durable). Par exemple la synesthésie dite « graphèmes-couleurs » (qui représenterait 65 % des synesthésies) fait que les lettres de l'alphabet (ou des nombres) sont perçues colorées. Dans la synesthésie dite « synesthésie numérique », les nombres sont tous et systématiquement associés avec des positions dans l'espace.
