### theory:

Atomic theory
* Some atomic theories explain electricity
* describes atoms as made up of three different components.
* has a long history and is constantly evolving.

Atomism
* are scientific theories
* is inconsistent with a notion of citizen virtue.

Category theory
* Category theories are math.
* continues to be an important tool in foundational studies in computer science.
* is an attempt to put processes and relationships on an equal status with things
  - popular among algebraic topologists
* provides the technology for creating new worlds.
* throws light on many mathematical structures.
* unification of many branches of mathematics.

### theory:

Chaos theory
* comes from complex adaptive systems.
* has very many applications of real life.
* is about patterns
  - applied to science, with similar results
  - built on the concepts of nonlinearity and feedback
  - only possible because one can simulate complex systems and observe their behavior
  - quite technical but it describes the characteristics of self-organizing systems
* is the mathematics of analyzing such non-linear, dynamic systems
  - studying such non-linear, dynamic systems
  - most advanced, and bulks largest in the popular mind
  - science of complexity, instability and disorder
  - scientific theory which deals with non-linear systems
* is the study of forever-changing complex systems
  - nonlinear dynamic systems
  - utilized in computer systems for creating virtual worlds
* posits a determined but unpredictable world.
* provides a sound framework with which to develop scientific knowledge.
* recent idea in maths.
* relatively new branch of mathematics.
* shows how simple systems can have unpredictable behaviour
  - that simple systems can generate complex systems over time
* states that complexity and simplicity are two parts of one whole.
* subset of complexity theory.

Cognitive theory
* allows for growth and development in adulthood.
* is essential in traffic psychology
  - such that conscious reflection helps process information into long-term memory
* states that how a person thinks directly affects how the person feels.

Color theory
* All color theory is based on the principle that 'color is light'.
* is discussed, as it is an integral part of textile design.

Complexity theory
* explains how a small change affects all parts of the system.
* is also relevant for model theology.
* underscores the importance of relationships.

Conflict theory
* Some conflict theories study conflict theories
* emphasizes interests, rather than norms and values , in conflict.
* explores the tensions and differences in interests and power among existing groups.
* theoretical framework where society is composed of groups in competition.

Conjecture
* are reasoning
* positive assertion in place of truth, having some part in truth.

Conspiracy theory
* Conspiracy theories are a product of hope
  - for people who feel lost and helpless
  - part of the staple diet of Moscow politics
* Conspiracy theories are the province of streetcorner lunatics
  - work of the government
  - recognise that something is wrong with the world, and they look for the cause

Constructivist theory
* is integrated with faith and learning applications.
* unites distance learning and teacher education.

Continuum theory
* deals with the construction and classification of continua.
* provides two constraints on the velocity field generated by a deforming body.

Control theory
* aims to compel or control a system to behave in some desired fashion.
* generic tool applied in most fields of engineering.
* implies an active role, or responsibility towards ones behavior.
* is to bring operation that goes astray back to normal.
* provides a framework of why and how people behave.
