Round 3250: DISARITHMETIC [Call for Votes]
Paul Keating
The extended deadline brought the number of definitions provided below to 10. Please vote for two of them, by reply to this post, before the deadline, which is Monday 9 May at 22h00 CEST, or just over 48 hours from time of posting.
1. Bright, cloudlike structures on the sun's surface, ascending several hundred kilometers above the photosphere and often associated with sunspots. Disarithmetic are formed when a strong magnetic field heats a region of the photosphere to higher temperatures than the surrounding area. They occur all over the sun but are usually only visible near the limb (the outer edge of the sun's apparent disk), where the photosphere appears dimmer than in the center.
2. Math. Of or relating to a (non-Gaussian) Hilbert space whose eigenfunctions cannot be conflated with the space of real numbers.
3. Rare. Intuition; a conclusion reached by a sudden insight.
4. To exclude from an assessment; to discount.
5. Lacking the ability to process numbers.
6. Uncalculable.
7. Having irregular or random poetic meter.
8. Not conforming to the usual rules of numeric calculations.
9. A noun that cannot form a plural or be used with the indefinite article.
10. The failure to understand a foreign language because of differences in word rhythm between that language and the language in which one is working [as an example, consider the real meaning in French of cherchez la femme as opposed to the common English misunderstanding of that phrase; which misunderstanding derives from treating the phrase as an English phrase].
