In graphical perspective, a point in the picture plane π that is the intersection of the projections (or drawings) of a set of parallel lines in space on to the picture plane
(Felsefe) A vanishing mediator is a concept that exists to mediate between two opposing ideas, as a transition occurs between them. At the point where one idea has been replaced by the other, and the concept is no longer required, the mediator vanishes. In terms of Hegelian dialectics, the conflict between thesis and antithesis is resolved by a synthesis of the two ideas, although the synthesis represents the final solution, whereupon the mediator vanishes
In linear perspective, a point at an infinate distance on the Horizon Line at which any two or more lines that represent parallel lines will converge This principle is based on an optical illusion best illustrated by railroad tracks that appear to converge on the Horizon
In some cash value policies, such as variable life, the projected time that all premium payments will end permanently, based on premium amount and assumed rate of return on cash value
In linear perspective, the point at which parallel lines appear to converge on the horizon line Depending on the view there may be more than one vanishing point
(n) An imaginary point in a perspective drawing or sketch, often on the horizon line, where all projection lines of one dimension of the object converge
The vanishing point is the point in the distance where parallel lines seem to meet. The highway stretched out ahead of me until it narrowed to a vanishing point some miles away
If you say that something has reached vanishing point, you mean it has become very small or unimportant. By 1973, this gap had narrowed almost to vanishing point. the point in the distance, especially on a picture, where parallel lines seem to meet
To pass from a visible to an invisible state; to go out of sight; to disappear; to fade; as, vapor vanishes from the sight by being dissipated; a ship vanishes from the sight of spectators on land
decrease rapidly and disappear; "the money vanished in las Vegas"; "all my stock assets have vaporized" cease to exist; "An entire civilization vanished" become invisible or unnoticeable; "The effect vanished when day broke
The brief terminal part of vowel or vocal element, differing more or less in quality from the main part; as, a as in ale ordinarily ends with a vanish of i as in ill, o as in old with a vanish of oo as in foot
If someone or something vanishes, they disappear suddenly or in a way that cannot be explained. He just vanished and was never seen again Anne vanished from outside her home last Wednesday The gunmen paused only to cut the wires to the house, then vanished into the countryside. = disappear
If something such as a species of animal or a tradition vanishes, it stops existing. Near the end of Devonian times, thirty percent of all animal life vanished In the past two years, one-party rule has vanished from Eastern Europe. = disappear
