(gcide) | Object \Ob"ject\ ([o^]b"j[e^]kt), n. [L. objectus. See Object,
v. t.]
1. That which is put, or which may be regarded as put, in the
way of some of the senses; something visible or tangible
and persists for an appreciable time; as, he observed an
object in the distance; all the objects in sight; he
touched a strange object in the dark.
[1913 Webster]
2. Anything which is set, or which may be regarded as set,
before the mind so as to be apprehended or known; that of
which the mind by any of its activities takes cognizance,
whether a thing external in space or a conception formed
by the mind itself; as, an object of knowledge, wonder,
fear, thought, study, etc.
[1913 Webster]
Object is a term for that about which the knowing
subject is conversant; what the schoolmen have
styled the "materia circa quam." --Sir. W.
Hamilton.
[1913 Webster]
The object of their bitterest hatred. --Macaulay.
[1913 Webster]
3. That toward which the mind, or any of its activities, is
directed; that on which the purpose are fixed as the end
of action or effort; that which is sought for; goal; end;
aim; motive; final cause.
[1913 Webster]
Object, beside its proper signification, came to be
abusively applied to denote motive, end, final cause
. . . . This innovation was probably borrowed from
the French. --Sir. W.
Hamilton.
[1913 Webster]
Let our object be, our country, our whole country,
and nothing but our country. --D. Webster.
[1913 Webster]
4. Sight; show; appearance; aspect. [Obs.] --Shak.

object-oriented programming language.
[PJC]
7. (Ontology) Anything which exists and which has attributes;
distinguished from attributes, processes, and
relations.
[PJC]
Object glass, the lens, or system of lenses, placed at the

[1913 Webster] |
Objective
(gcide) | Objective \Ob*jec"tive\ ([o^]b*j[e^]k"t[i^]v), a. [Cf. F.
objectif.]
1. Of or pertaining to an object.
[1913 Webster]
2. (Metaph.) Of or pertaining to an object; contained in, or
having the nature or position of, an object; outward;
external; extrinsic; -- an epithet applied to whatever is
exterior to the mind, or which is simply an object of
thought or feeling, as opposed to being related to
thoughts of feelings, and opposed to subjective.
[1913 Webster +PJC]
In the Middle Ages, subject meant substance, and has
this sense in Descartes and Spinoza: sometimes,
also, in Reid. Subjective is used by William of
Occam to denote that which exists independent of
mind; objective, what is formed by the mind. This
shows what is meant by realitas objectiva in
Descartes. Kant and Fichte have inverted the
meanings. Subject, with them, is the mind which
knows; object, that which is known; subjective, the
varying conditions of the knowing mind; objective,
that which is in the constant nature of the thing
known. --Trendelenburg.
[1913 Webster]
Objective has come to mean that which has
independent existence or authority, apart from our
experience or thought. Thus, moral law is said to
have objective authority, that is, authority
belonging to itself, and not drawn from anything in
our nature. --Calderwood
(Fleming's
Vocabulary).
[1913 Webster]
3. Hence: Unbiased; unprejudiced; fair; uninfluenced by
personal feelings or personal interests; considering only
the facts of a situation unrelated to the observer; -- of
judgments, opinions, evaluations, conclusions, reasoning
processes.
[PJC]
Objective means that which belongs to, or proceeds
from, the object known, and not from the subject
knowing, and thus denotes what is real, in
opposition to that which is ideal -- what exists in
nature, in contrast to what exists merely in the
thought of the individual. --Sir. W.
Hamilton.
[1913 Webster]
4. (Gram.) Pertaining to, or designating, the case which
follows a transitive verb or a preposition, being that
case in which the direct object of the verb is placed. See
Accusative, n.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The objective case is frequently used without a
governing word, esp. in designations of time or space,
where a preposition, as at, in, on, etc., may be
supplied.
[1913 Webster]
My troublous dream [on] this night doth make me
sad. --Shak.
[1913 Webster]
To write of victories [in or for] next year.
--Hudibras.
[1913 Webster]
Objective line (Perspective), a line drawn on the
geometrical plane which is represented or sought to be
represented.
Objective plane (Perspective), any plane in the horizontal
plane that is represented.
Objective point, the point or result to which the
operations of an army are directed. By extension, the
point or purpose to which anything, as a journey or an
argument, is directed.
[1913 Webster]
Syn: Objective, Subjective.
Usage: Objective is applied to things exterior to the mind,
and objects of its attention; subjective, to the
operations of the mind itself. Hence, an objective
motive is some outward thing awakening desire; a
subjective motive is some internal feeling or
propensity. Objective views are those governed by
outward things; subjective views are produced or
modified by internal feeling. Sir Walter Scott's
poetry is chiefly objective; that of Wordsworth is
eminently subjective.
[1913 Webster]
In the philosophy of mind, subjective denotes
what is to be referred to the thinking subject,
the ego; objective what belongs to the object of
thought, the non-ego. --Sir. W.
Hamilton

thought, the non-ego. --Sir. W.
Hamilton
[1913 Webster]Plane \Plane\, n. [F. plane, L. plana. See Plane, v. & a.]
1. (Geom.) A surface, real or imaginary, in which, if any two
points are taken, the straight line which joins them lies
wholly in that surface; or a surface, any section of which
by a like surface is a straight line; a surface without
curvature.
[1913 Webster]
2. (Astron.) An ideal surface, conceived as coinciding with,
or containing, some designated astronomical line, circle,
or other curve; as, the plane of an orbit; the plane of
the ecliptic, or of the equator.

used as a standard of flatness; a surface plate.
[1913 Webster]
4. (Joinery) A tool for smoothing boards or other surfaces of
wood, for forming moldings, etc. It consists of a
smooth-soled stock, usually of wood, from the under side
or face of which projects slightly the steel cutting edge
of a chisel, called the iron, which inclines backward,
with an apperture in front for the escape of shavings; as,
the jack plane; the smoothing plane; the molding plane,
etc.
[1913 Webster]
Objective plane (Surv.), the horizontal plane upon which
the object which is to be delineated, or whose place is to
be determined, is supposed to stand.
Perspective plane. See Perspective.
Plane at infinity (Geom.), a plane in which points
infinitely distant are conceived as situated.

are referred for the purpose of determining their
relative position in space.
Plane of refraction or Plane of reflection (Opt.), the
plane in which lie both the incident ray and the refracted
or reflected ray.

Objective point
(gcide) | Objective \Ob*jec"tive\ ([o^]b*j[e^]k"t[i^]v), a. [Cf. F.
objectif.]
1. Of or pertaining to an object.
[1913 Webster]
2. (Metaph.) Of or pertaining to an object; contained in, or
having the nature or position of, an object; outward;
external; extrinsic; -- an epithet applied to whatever is
exterior to the mind, or which is simply an object of
thought or feeling, as opposed to being related to
thoughts of feelings, and opposed to subjective.
[1913 Webster +PJC]
In the Middle Ages, subject meant substance, and has
this sense in Descartes and Spinoza: sometimes,
also, in Reid. Subjective is used by William of
Occam to denote that which exists independent of
mind; objective, what is formed by the mind. This
shows what is meant by realitas objectiva in
Descartes. Kant and Fichte have inverted the
meanings. Subject, with them, is the mind which
knows; object, that which is known; subjective, the
varying conditions of the knowing mind; objective,
that which is in the constant nature of the thing
known. --Trendelenburg.
[1913 Webster]
Objective has come to mean that which has
independent existence or authority, apart from our
experience or thought. Thus, moral law is said to
have objective authority, that is, authority
belonging to itself, and not drawn from anything in
our nature. --Calderwood
(Fleming's
Vocabulary).
[1913 Webster]
3. Hence: Unbiased; unprejudiced; fair; uninfluenced by
personal feelings or personal interests; considering only
the facts of a situation unrelated to the observer; -- of
judgments, opinions, evaluations, conclusions, reasoning
processes.
[PJC]
Objective means that which belongs to, or proceeds
from, the object known, and not from the subject
knowing, and thus denotes what is real, in
opposition to that which is ideal -- what exists in
nature, in contrast to what exists merely in the
thought of the individual. --Sir. W.
Hamilton.
[1913 Webster]
4. (Gram.) Pertaining to, or designating, the case which
follows a transitive verb or a preposition, being that
case in which the direct object of the verb is placed. See
Accusative, n.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The objective case is frequently used without a
governing word, esp. in designations of time or space,
where a preposition, as at, in, on, etc., may be
supplied.
[1913 Webster]
My troublous dream [on] this night doth make me
sad. --Shak.
[1913 Webster]
To write of victories [in or for] next year.
--Hudibras.
[1913 Webster]
Objective line (Perspective), a line drawn on the
geometrical plane which is represented or sought to be
represented.
Objective plane (Perspective), any plane in the horizontal
plane that is represented.
Objective point, the point or result to which the
operations of an army are directed. By extension, the
point or purpose to which anything, as a journey or an
argument, is directed.
[1913 Webster]
Syn: Objective, Subjective.
Usage: Objective is applied to things exterior to the mind,
and objects of its attention; subjective, to the
operations of the mind itself. Hence, an objective
motive is some outward thing awakening desire; a
subjective motive is some internal feeling or
propensity. Objective views are those governed by
outward things; subjective views are produced or
modified by internal feeling. Sir Walter Scott's
poetry is chiefly objective; that of Wordsworth is
eminently subjective.
[1913 Webster]
In the philosophy of mind, subjective denotes
what is to be referred to the thinking subject,
the ego; objective what belongs to the object of
thought, the non-ego. --Sir. W.
Hamilton

objective c
(foldoc) | Objective C
An object-oriented superset of ANSI C by Brad
Cox, Productivity Products. Its additions to C are few and
are mostly based on Smalltalk. Objective C is implemented
as a preprocessor for C. Its syntax is a superset of
standard C syntax, and its compiler accepts both C and
Objective C source code (filename extension ".m").
It has no operator overloading, multiple inheritance, or
class variables. It does have dynamic binding. It is
used as the system programming language on the NeXT. As
implemented for NEXTSTEP, the Objective C language is fully
compatible with ANSI C.
Objective C can also be used as an extension to C++, which
lacks some of the possibilities for object-oriented design
that dynamic typing and dynamic binding bring to Objective
C. C++ also has features not found in Objective C.
Versions exist for MS-DOS, Macintosh, VAX/VMS and
Unix workstations. Language versions by Stepstone,
NeXT and GNU are slightly different.
There is a library of (GNU) Objective C objects by
R. Andrew McCallum with similar
functionality to Smalltalk's Collection objects. It
includes: Set, Bag, Array, LinkedList, LinkList,
CircularArray, Queue, Stack, Heap, SortedArray,
MappedCollector, GapArray and DelegateList. Version: Alpha
Release. (ftp://iesd.auc.dk/pub/ObjC/).

objective caml
(foldoc) | Objective CAML
(Originally "CAML" - Categorical Abstract Machine
Language) A version of ML by G. Huet, G. Cousineau, Ascander
Suarez, Pierre Weis, Michel Mauny and others of INRIA. CAML
is intermediate between LCF ML and SML [in what sense?].
It has first-class functions, static type inference with
polymorphic types, user-defined variant types and {product
types}, and pattern matching. It is built on a proprietary
run-time system.
The CAML V3.1 implementation added lazy and mutable data
structures, a "grammar" mechanism for interfacing with the
Yacc parser generator, pretty-printing tools,
high-performance arbitrary-precision arithmetic, and a
complete library.
in 1990 Xavier Leroy and Damien Doligez designed a new
implementation called CAML Light, freeing the previous
implementation from too many experimental high-level features,
and more importantly, from the old Le_Lisp back-end.
Following the addition of a native-code compiler and a
powerful module system in 1995 and of the object and
class layer in 1996, the project's name was changed to
Objective CAML. In 2000, Jacques Garrigue added labeled and
optional arguments and anonymous variants.

objective modula-2
(foldoc) | Objective Modula-2
(Or "ObjM2") An extension to Modula-2 for Cocoa
and GNUstep software development. Objective Modula-2
follows the Objective-C object model and retains the
bracketed Smalltalk message passing syntax used in
Objective-C. Classes written in ObjM2 can be used within ObjC
and vice versa. ObjM2 also retains Modula-2's {data
encapsulation} features, namely nested modules with explicit
import and export lists. Due to the strict type checking
in Modula-2, ObjM2 can be considered a much safer programming
language than is ObjC, yet losing none of the capabilities of
ObjC.
