The odds against life in the universe are simply astonishing. Yet here we are, not only existing, but talking about existing. What can account for it? Can every one of those many parameters have been perfect by accident? At what point is it fair to admit that science suggests that we cannot be the result of random forces?

I have a passion for music, and I enjoy the process of expressing myself within the parameters of a pop song, and I don't do it to seek anybody's approval, necessarily. Obviously, you go on stage, and you enjoy it when people respond to a particular song, but the overall concept of playing music I do for myself.

If we could support school curricula about social class, we might discuss the full complexity of 'wealth' within the parameters of our children's educational lives. Out of these lesson plans, we might talk more about what society values - and whether it rewards the right things.

We can't have democracy if we're having to protect you and our users from the government over stuff we've never had a conversation about. We need to know what the parameters are, what kind of surveillance the government is going to do, and how and why.

The general proposition is that the resources that will be utilized are the ones that contribute most to the overall efficiency of the production system. The third parameter has to do with our commercial world, our search for profits.

I think art teaches us how to feel, what our parameters can be, what sensations can be like; it makes you more engaged with life.

Parameter sets boundaries within which an activity occurs or a decision is made.

Boundary Conditions

Parameters can be flexible and may change based on new information or conditions.

Not Always Fixed

In statistics, 'parameter' refers to a concrete numerical measure of a larger set, not a guess.

Quantitative Measure

The parameter in statistics is about an entire group, not just a sample.

Population Wide

In computing, changing parameters allows you to customize how software or systems behave.

Software Customization

Parameters often determine what input a system accepts and how it processes it.

Input Relevance

A parameter can influence the outcome or process of a situation, such as a factor in decision-making.

Situation Dependent

Parameters might have different levels of impact on a situation, some are minor, others crucial.

Influence Weight

 Here, we see those influential forces at work, and we've shown off our ability to understand the complicated nature of the human experience, which, again, allows us to access those big ideas that reveal the deeper meaning of a story, ideas, in this case, like the parameters of maternal instinct, the consequences of injustice,

 So we start at the bottom, which can be over four kilometers deep just off our continental shelf, and we take samples at regular intervals right up to the surface.
