0 the situation when the parts of something fit together in a natural or reasonable way:
1 a clear relationship between parts, esp. in a work of literature or art:
In doing so, the agent should retain more preferred beliefs in favor of less preferred ones wherever coherence permits.
But if coherence leads to not treating people as equals, as we argue, then local coherence loses its normative force.
For example, it is possible to control for the child's behavior during the narrative task and examine the unique importance of themes or coherence.
Coherence can be partially ensured if different semantic identities are based on similar structural characteristics.
In general, the coherence of these trends tends to decrease with increasing metamorphism.
Outside a certain distance between utterances, the coherence drops off and is highly scattered.
If, however, pursuit and perception have different motion-integration pathways, the pursuit response to image motion will not be tightly correlated with perceptual coherence.
This particular analysis of the coherence-incoherence transition has not been performed and generalizes the previous analysis based on unrestricted summations.
