Non-Modal Structural System — Retention Fragment
Key Points
The aim is to clarify the distinctions between contact and reading in non-modal structural systems.
Analysis of fixed contact and reading relations
Evaluation of the concept of retention
Discussion of equivalence between terms
Contact is fixed but distinct from reading and retention
None of the elements are equivalent or derived from each other
Clarification on the unresolved nature of contact
Abstract
Contact is fixed. Reading is fixed. Retention is fixed. They are not equivalent. Contact is not derived. Contact is not resolved. Contact is not completed.
