Example sentences for: couplings
How can you use “couplings” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
To think about work cycles, we have been driven to ask about Maxwell’s demon, measurement, when and why measurement pays, thence to what features of a nonequilibrium system are measured such that they constitute a source of energy, thence to how couplings arise that capture the energy source, thence to work and constraints, and now to propagating work due to the occurrence of linked sets of constraints and flows of matter and energy.
Thus, whatever the demon’s eorts, there remain the issues of just what features of a nonequilibrium system the demon must measure such that work can be extracted, how the demon knows to measure those features rather than other useless features, and how, once measured, couplings come into existence in the universe that actually extract work.
Just as intuitively, all we have discussed seems sucient for the ongoing diversification of propagating organization: the Darwinian processes of natural selection and random variation, the coevolutionary construction of vastly complex autonomous-agent cell systems that continually evolve ever-novel measurements of novel sources of energy, recordings of those energy sources, couplings to those sources, constraint construction, and the linking of exergonic and endergonic reactions that builds the diversifying biosphere.
Intermittent couplings also suggest the existence of thresholds in the response to climate, an area of research that remains in need of quantitative approaches.
In the movie as in the book, much of the action thereafter consists of an increasingly intense spiral of couplings among these parties, punctuated by tearing metal and shattering glass and inevitably climaxing in death.
