(mathematics, physics, dynamical system theory) Given a (dynamical) system, any topological space such that every point in the space's underlying set uniquely represents a state of the system and every possible state is represented by some point;

(physics) One of the three fundamental structural phases of matter in which the thermal mobility of molecules or atoms is comparable with the cohesiveness, having them connected but fluid in a mass.

A method of sending information by modifying (modulating) the difference in phase (fraction of a wave length) between a signal and a reference.

(physics) The transition between thermodynamic phases of a physical system, especially one between the solid, liquid, and gaseous phases of a substance.

(physics) One of the three fundamental structural phases of matter in which the thermal mobility of molecules or atoms is strong enough to permit their free motion, significantly exceeding the cohesive force.

(physics) One of the three fundamental structural phases of matter in which the cohesive force of matter is strong enough to keep the molecules or atoms in the given positions, restraining the thermal mobility.
