(foldoc) | LUCID
1. Early query language, ca. 1965, System Development Corp,
Santa Monica, CA. [Sammet 1969, p.701].
2. A family of dataflow languages descended from ISWIM,
lazy but first-order.
Ashcroft & Wadge , 1981.
They use a dynamic demand driven model. Statements are
regarded as equations defining a network of processors and
communication lines, through which the data flows. Every data
object is thought of as an infinite stream of simple values,
every function as a filter. Lucid has no {data
constructors} such as arrays or records. Iteration is
simulated with 'is current' and 'fby' (concatenation of
sequences). Higher-order functions are implemented using pure
dataflow and no closures or heaps.

and Ed Ashcroft, c. 1985]. ["Lucid, the
Dataflow Programming Language", W. Wadge, Academic Press
1985].

lucid
(foldoc) | LUCID
1. Early query language, ca. 1965, System Development Corp,
Santa Monica, CA. [Sammet 1969, p.701].
2. A family of dataflow languages descended from ISWIM,
lazy but first-order.
Ashcroft & Wadge , 1981.
They use a dynamic demand driven model. Statements are
regarded as equations defining a network of processors and
communication lines, through which the data flows. Every data
object is thought of as an infinite stream of simple values,
every function as a filter. Lucid has no {data
constructors} such as arrays or records. Iteration is
simulated with 'is current' and 'fby' (concatenation of
sequences). Higher-order functions are implemented using pure
dataflow and no closures or heaps.

lucid emacs
(foldoc) | Xemacs
Lucid Emacs
(Originally "Lucid Emacs") A text editor for the
X Window System, based on GNU Emacs version 19, produced
by a collaboration of Lucid, Inc., SunPro (a division of
Sun Microsystems, Inc.), and the University of Illinois.
Lucid chose to build part of Energize, their C/C++
development environment on top of GNU Emacs. Though their
product is commercial, the work on GNU Emacs is {free
software}, and is useful without having to purchase the
product. They needed a version of Emacs with mouse-sensitive
regions, multiple fonts, the ability to mark sections of a
buffer as read-only, the ability to detect which parts of a
buffer has been modified, and many other features.
The existing version of Epoch was not sufficient; it did not
allow arbitrary pixmaps and icons in buffers, "undo" did
not restore changes to regions, regions did not overlap and
merge their attributes. Lucid spent some time in 1990 working
on Epoch but later decided that their efforts would be better
spent improving Emacs 19 instead.
Lucid did not have time to get their changes accepted by the
FSF so they released Lucid Emacs as a forked branch of
Emacs. Roughly a year after Lucid Emacs 19.0 was released, a
beta version of the FSF branch of Emacs 19 was released.
Lucid continued to develop and support Lucid Emacs, merging in
bug fixes and new features from the FSF branch as appropriate.
A compatibility package was planned to allow Epoch 4 code to
run in Lemacs with little or no change. (As of 19.8, Lucid
Emacs ran a descendant of the Epoch redisplay engine.)

LUCID INTERVAL
(bouvier) | LUCID INTERVAL, med. jur. That space of time between two fits of insanity,
during which a person non compos mentis is completely restored to the
perfect enjoyment of reason upon every subject upon which the mind was
previously cognizant. Shelf. on Lun. 70; Male's Elem. of Forensic Medicine,
227; and see Dr. Haslam on Madness, 46; Reid's Essays on Hypochondriasis,
317 Willis on Mental Derangement, 151.
2. To ascertain whether a partial restoration to sanity is a lucid
interval, we must consider the nature of the interval and its duration. 1st.
Of its nature.: "It must not," says D'Aguesseau, "be a superficial
tranquillity, a shadow of repose, but on the contrary, a profound
tranquillity, a real repose; it must not be a mere ray of reason, which only
makes its absence more apparent when it is gone, not a flash of lightning,
which pierces through the darkness only to render it more gloomy and dismal,
not a glimmering which unites night to the day; but a perfect light, a
lively and continued lustre, a full and entire day, interposed between two
separate nights of the fury which precedes and follows it; and to use
another image, it is not a deceitful and faithless stillness, which follows
or forebodes a storm, but a sure and steady tranquillity for a time, a real
calm, a perfect serenity; without looking for so many metaphors to represent
an idea, it must not be a mere diminution, a remission of the complaint, but
a kind of temporary cure, an intermission so clearly marked, as in every
respect to resemble the restoration of health." 2d, Of its duration. "As it
is impossible," he continues, "to judge in a moment of the qualities of an
interval, it is requisite that there should be a sufficient length of time
for giving a perfect assurance of the temporary reestablishment of reason,
which it is not possible to define in general, and which depends upon the
different kinds of fury, but it is certain there must be a time, and a
considerable time." 2 Evan's Poth. on Oblig. 668, 669.
3. It is the duty of the party who contends for a lucid interval to
prove it; for a person once insane is presumed so, until it is shown that he
has a lucid interval or has recovered. Swinb. 77; Co. Litt. by Butler, n.
185; 3 Bro. C. C. 443; 1 Rep. Con. Ct. 225; 1 Pet. R. 163; 1 Litt. R. 102.
Except perhaps the alleged insanity was very long ago, or for a very short
continuance. And the wisdom of a testament, when it is proved that the party
framed it without assistance, is a strong presumption of the sanity of a
testator. 1 Phill. R. 90;1 Hen. & Munf. 476.
4. Medical men have doubted of the existence of a lucid interval, in
which the mind was completely restored to its sane state. It is only an
abatement of the symptoms, they say, and not a removal of the cause of the
disease; a degree of irritability of the brain remains behind which renders
the patient unable to withstand any unusual emotion, any sudden provocation,
or any unexpected pressing emergency. Dr. Combe, Observations on Mental
Derangement, 241; Halsam, Med. Jur. of Insanity, 224; Fodere, De Medecine
Legale, tom, 1, p. 205, 140; Georget, Des Maladies Mentales, 46; 2 Phillim.
R. 90; 2 Hagg. Eccl. R. 433; 1 Phillim. Eccl. R. 84.
