In anthropology and other fields, a thickdescription of a human behavior is one that explains not just the behavior, but its context as well, such that the behavior becomes meaningful to an outsider. The term was used by the anthropologist Clifford Geertz in his The Interpretation of Cultures 1973 to describe his own method of doing ethnography Geertz 1973 5 6, 9 10 . Since then, the term and the methodology it represents has gained currency in the social science s and beyond. Today, thickdescription is used in a variety of fields, including the type of literary criticism known as New Historicism . In his essay ThickDescription Toward an Interpretive Theory of Culture 1973 , Geertz explains that he adopted the term from philosopher Gilbert Ryle , specifically his lecture What is le Penseur doing? Adoption Geertz s thickdescription approach was adopted by the sociologist Allen Scarboro, psychologist Nancy Campbell and literary critic Shirley Stave in their book Living Witchcraft Living Witchcraft A Contemporary American Coven 1994 . In Living Witchcraft , the trio examined a Wicca Wiccan coven known as Ravenswood which met in the city of Atlanta , Georgia U.S. state Georgia during the early 1990s. Highlighting Geertz s influence in the opening introduction to the book, they noted their intention of not only presenting the Wiccans in a manner that they themselves would recognize, but also in a manner that would allow a non Witch, specifically a thinking, reflective, non Witch to understand what they would experience were she or he to participate in rituals and classes at Ravenwood. ref name Scarboro xi Scar94 Scarboro, Campbell and Stave 1994 . p. xi. ref See also Contextualism Cultural studies Indexicality References Footnotes reflist Bibliography refbegin cite book title ... isbn 978 0275946886 ref Sca94 Geertz, Clifford.

Description numbers are numbers that arise in the theory of Turing machine s. They are very similar to G del number s, and are also occasionally called G del numbers in the literature. Given some universal Turing machine , every Turing machine can, given its encoding on that machine, be assigned a number. This is the machine s description number. These numbers play a key role in Alan Turing s proof of the undecidability of the halting problem , and are very useful in reasoning about Turing machines as well. An example of a description number Say we had a Turing machine M with states q sub 1 sub , ... q sub R sub , with a tape alphabet with symbols s sub 1 sub , ... s sub m sub , with the blank denoted by s sub 0 sub , and transitions giving the current state, current symbol, and actions performed which might be to overwrite the current tape symbol and move the tape head left or right, or maybe not move it at all , and the next state. Under the original universal machine described by Alan Turing, this machine would be encoded as input to it as follows The state q sub i sub is encoded by the letter D followed by the letter A repeated i times a unary encoding The tape symbol s sub j sub ..., and by 7, we would have an encoding of the Turing machine as a natural number this is the description ... above would thus have the description number 313322531173113325317. There is an analogous process ... a description number in this way the point is that every natural number may be interpreted as the code ... proofs Description numbers play a key role in many undecidability proofs, such as the proof ... of the universal Turing machine given a description number e and input x, returning 0 if e is not the description ... of settling the halting problem, i.e. a Turing machine TEST e which given the description number ... is built up from what we have assumed are Turing machines as well then it too must have a description number, call it e. So, we can feed the description number e to the UTM again, and by definition ... more details
