Description

For the lingusitics term, see Prescription and description. For the scientific research term, see Scientific method.A description consists of an enumeration of the quantitative and qualitative parameters which seek to provide a definition of some thing, such as what that thing looks like, sounds like, or feels like. A complete description allows for not merely defining but distinguishing one state from another and general characteristics commonly noticed which in popular culture define or distinguish something. It can represent subtle differences in states. A complete description is created and used in scientific disciplines as technical terminology. It may be representable as a set or vector of qualities.
