pig power structure

A blanket term for the U.S. ideological state apparatus coined in the 1960's by Black Panther Party leader, Bobby Seale. In Seale's own words, the pig power structure is composed of "the corporate money rich and the racist jive politicians and the lackeys, as we used to call them, for the government who perpetuates all this exploitation and racism."

The only way that the world is ever going to be free is when the youth of this country moves with every principle of human respect and with every soft spot we have in our hearts for human life, in a fashion that lets the pig power structure know that when people are racistly and fascistically attacked, the youth will put a foot in their butts and make their blood chill.
- Bobby Seale, "Seize the Time: The Story of the Black Panther Party" (1970)

meaning-structure divergence

Metonymy

The structural duality of meanings of words being synthetic (additive) on the future end of the linear timeline and convergent on the past side while the phonemes (phonetic parts) of words are conflationary on the future side and synthetic (additive) on the past end.

The meaning-structure divergence (metonymy) of linguistics is an example of structural divergence.

Spatial Structuring

When students exercise shape flexibility in solving a math problem to enhance their understanding, or to figure out any hidden or nonobvious relationship between the known and unknown quantities, such as moving and rearranging parts of a bar model drawing or/and adding dotted lines to a model diagram.

It’s not surprising that those who practice spatial structuring stand a higher chance of solving a word problem when using the “draw a diagram” strategy than their peers who don’t.
