When you submit, please follow the style of the other entries (also see the example at the bottom of the page):

  1. Simply and as uncontentiously as possible define the entry in one sentence or so (40-60 words). If you know of other terms in the dictionary that are related, please list them.
  2. Provide further discussion of at least one or two paragraph and to a maximum of about 2500 words. Try to include examples and any relevant historical information. This will be linked to the one sentence definition.
  3. Provide any relevant references, starting with classic papers and books.
  4. Try to include any directly related web resources you know of.
  5. Include your name and email address. Please be explicit if you don't want your email address on the page.
