Complete inclusion, with no outliers. Labels: countable, uncountable Example: The new encompassment standard to be applied to cases involving commonly owned stations in different broadcast services is less restrictive than the standard used for such stations under the interim policy. For example, under the interim policy if the 1-mv./m. contour of an FM station licensed to serve one community overlapped the grade B contour of a TV station proposed to be licensed to serve another community, the stations were considered to be in the same market. But under the new rules, in such a case the 1-mv./m. contour of the FM station must not only overlap the grade A contour of the TV station (as contrasted with the B contour) but must encompass the entire community of license of the TV station. In other words, the stations must be closer together in order to fall under the proscription against common ownership. Example: In each trial, one person in the room was designated not to sing unless every one of the others in the room had made a payment sufficient so as to have that person sing. Our evidence of a demand for encompassment is threefold: Subjects chose to sacrifice money to achieve encompassment 47.4 percent of the time, with 59.6 percent of the subjects doing so in at least one trial. An exit questionnaire showed that subjects' chief reason for making such a sacrifice was a belief that the singing would be more enjoyable if it encompassed the whole group. Furthermore, the subjects reported significantly higher enjoyment when they had experienced encompassment. 3. A hierarchical structure such that when two elements of a whole are recognized as opposites, one of them is considered hierarchically superior, while the other is subordinated to the whole. Labels: countable, uncountable Example: It sometimes seems as though the anthropological nostalgia for Culture and the academic imperative to defend our space by defending our concept blinds us to the reality that the processes of encompassment neither leave others alone nor make them Western. Rather, encompassment creates a new terrain and terms for the production of sameness and difference, value and meaning. Example: This appears then as a moment of encompassment. The work of the technologist is encompassed by the artist, or the contribution of the facilitator is claimed as part of the creative process (genius, fortune) of the artist themselves.
