¶ Function
Index Entry
Functions are never independent of one another. No tension member is innocent of compression and no compression member innocent of tension. Tension and compression are in respect to one another like tides-- one is in high tide while the other is in low tide-- or you might say low tide of visible apprehendability. They are strictly functions in regard to one another. The meaning of a function is that it is part of a complementary pattern and there is no function existing by itself, X only in respect to Y, so your tension and compression are interfunktioning with weight variables of relative importance in the local pattern inspected.
