    The philosophical view that things like motion, space, and relationships between objects are only real in terms of how they relate to each other, not as independent absolutes.
    domain(Both f1 and f2 have the reals as their domain)
    The set of input values over which a function is defined.
    obtain(metaphysics)
    A formal way of saying 'exist' or 'be true'—used when talking about facts or conditions being the case.
