Unreferenced date December 2009 Context date October 2009 The concept of fiction absolute exists firstly within the context of anthropology , secondly within the study of group psychology and tribalism . The term was coined and defined by journalist Tom Wolfe , who defined it as the propaganda that a tribe or social group employs to explain why that group is the best of all groups and its people the best people. The term itself indicates that it is absolutist in that it defines in stark terms why members should prefer that tribe, and necessarily fictional because it is propaganda, although it might have some basis in truth. The fiction absolute is essentially a tribe s core propaganda. It can lead to Toleration intolerance and forms of collective action .

The absolute difference of two real number s x , y is given by x y , the absolute value of their Subtraction difference .

It is a special case of the Lp space L sup p sup distance for all 1 p and is the standard metric space metric used for both the set of rational number s Q and their completion, the set of real numbers R . As with any metric, the metric properties hold x y 0, since absolute value is always non negative. x y 0 if and only if x y . x y y x symmetry or commutativity . x z x y y z triangle inequality in the case of the absolute difference, equality holds if and only if nowrap x &le y &le z . By contrast, simple subtraction is not non negative or commutative, but it does obey the second and fourth properties above, since nowrap x y 0 if and only if x y , and nowrap x z x y y z . The absolute difference is used to define other quantities including the relative difference , the L sup 1 sup norm used in taxicab geometry , and graceful labeling s in graph theory. When it is desirable to avoid the absolute value function for example because it is expensive to compute, or because its derivative is not continuous it can sometimes be eliminated by the identity x y z w if and only if x y sup 2 sup z w sup 2 sup .
