"He began to discern patterns in the data — unanticipated constancies, conserved ratios, numerical rhythms," Mukherjee writes.

The dianoetic are constancies always already at work in forms of being together. # The Transcendental: The potency of a binding universality or condition of possibility. Some constancies in the ethos are so prevalent so as to be called transcendental. The transcendental potency is that which empowers us within the ethos to look for the more general and unconditional condition of possibility.

Other constancies include melody, odor, brightness and words. These constancies are not always total, but the variation in the percept is much less than the variation in the physical stimulus. The perceptual systems of the brain achieve perceptual constancy in a variety of ways, each specialized for the kind of information being processed, with phonemic restoration as a notable example from hearing.Law of Closure.

However, the reverse model of this hierarchy states that the perception of the whole face leads to the perception of the parts.Ahissar M, Hochetein S. Perceptual learning. In: Walsh V, Kulikowski J, editors. Perceptual constancies: Why things look as they.

Simultaneous contrast illusion. The background is a color gradient and progresses from dark gray to light gray. The horizontal bar appears to progress from light grey to dark grey, but is in fact just one color. Perceptual constancies are sources of illusions.

Life-span developmental psychology can be defined as the exploration of biological, cognitive, and psychosocial changes and constancies that occur throughout the course of life.Baltes, P. (1987). Theoretical propositions of life-span developmental psychology: On the dynamics between growth and decline. Developmental Psychology, 23(5), 611-626.

"Shepard's tables" deconstructed. The two tabletops appear to be different, but they are the same size and shape. Just as it perceives color and brightness constancies, the brain has the ability to understand familiar objects as having a consistent shape or size. For example, a door is perceived as a rectangle regardless of how the image may change on the retina as the door is opened and closed.

Hillgruber's work on German foreign policy made him one of the leading players in the debates about National Socialist foreign policy. Hillgruber's writings on the Soviet Union show certain constancies as well as changes over the years. He always argued that the Soviet Union was a brutal, expansionary, totalitarian power, in many ways similar to Nazi Germany. But, on the other hand, he argued that Moscow's foreign policy was conducted in a way that was rational and realistic, while the foreign policy of Berlin during the Nazi era was completely irrational and unrealistic.

The erotic sovereign is in the end transcendence without transcendence, because it only transcends again into itself, even if as a higher form, and there is never another involved. The eudaimonistic, calling up Aristotle's original conception of a man of phronesis as happy, is the potency that can take both the dianoetic and transcendental as constancies and law, and apply them to specific instances within the chiaroscuro involved in the idiotic and aesthetic. This being in between of the daimon correlates to a higher sense of wholeness being both involved in and transcending the ethos. # The Transcending: This is the potency of the "between" itself; the mystery of self-surpassing and the excess of the overdetermined milieu itself.

Nicholas Kaldor summarized the statistical properties of long-term economic growth in an influential 1957 paper. He pointed out the 6 following 'remarkable historical constancies revealed by recent empirical investigations': #The shares of national income received by labor and capital are roughly constant over long periods of time #The rate of growth of the capital stock per worker is roughly constant over long periods of time #The rate of growth of output per worker is roughly constant over long periods of time #The capital/output ratio is roughly constant over long periods of time #The rate of return on investment is roughly constant over long periods of time #There are appreciable variations (2 to 5 percent) in the rate of growth of labor productivity and of total output among countries. Kaldor did not claim that any of these quantities would be constant at all times; on the contrary, growth rates and income shares fluctuate strongly over the business cycle. Instead, his claim was that these quantities tend to be constant when averaging the data over long periods of time.
