Are you after single sentence answers or full explanations.
If the former you are unlikely to get definitons that tell you much about the anyone's understanding.

If the latter, then you are looking at several pages of work, which I'm certainly not going to put in unless I can see that it's leading someone constructive.

These are whole subjects in themselves. How about you just pick one, open a thread, and we'll discuss it?
