The fact seems to be that the conditions of rupture depend largely upon the nature of the test (tensional, torsional, flexural, or whatever it may be) that is applied to a specimen, and that no general formula holds for all kinds of tests.

Now in the transformation from this tensional situation into a harmonious situation, there is an experience either of fulfilment or disappointment.

This provision would make it necessary to identify consciousness, and, therefore, conscious inference, with the tensional situation which has been described.

The issue between Dewey and the idealists is this: Does functionalism render an accurate empirical account of the nature of thought as a concrete process? In his third chapter Dewey discusses "Thought and its Subject-matter: The Datum of Thinking." The tensional situation passes into a thought situation, and reflection enters upon its work of restoring the equilibrium of experience.

From these considerations it is obvious that the finishing cut should be started at the centre of the work length, and carried towards the lathe centres, because in this case the tool will be sharpest, and therefore will produce less tensional strain on the work at the point where the latter is the weakest, while the resisting strength of the work would increase as the cut proceeded, and the tool became dull from use.
