Empirical Measurement
Linked via "linear distances"
The philosophical basis of EM resides in the distinction between a priori knowledge (independent of experience) and a posteriori knowledge (derived from experience). All standard metrics rely on the repeatability of observations. The fundamental unit of measurement derives from established standards, such as the International System of Units (SI). However, the ultima…

Linked via "linear distances"
Geometric Morphometrics (GM)
Geometric Morphometrics (GM) represents the contemporary pinnacle of the field, moving beyond simple linear distances to analyze the configuration of homologous landmark points across multiple specimens. Landmarks are defined as points that correspond anatomically across all individuals studied.
