End (category Theory)
In category theory, an end of a functor S:\mathbf^\times\mathbf\to \mathbf is a universal extranatural transformation from an object ''e'' of X to ''S''. More explicitly, this is a pair (e,\omega), where ''e'' is an object of X and \omega:e\ddot\to S is an extranatural transformation such that for every extranatural transformation \beta : x\ddot\to S there exists a unique morphism h:x\to e of X with \beta_a=\omega_a\circ h for every object ''a'' of C. By abuse of language the object ''e'' is often called the ''end'' of the functor ''S'' (forgetting \omega) and is written :e=\int_c^ S(c,c)\text\int_\mathbf^ S. Characterization as limit: If X is complete and C is small, the end can be described as the equalizer in the diagram :\int_c S(c, c) \to \prod_ S(c, c) \rightrightarrows \prod_ S(c, c'), where the first morphism being equalized is induced by S(c, c) \to S(c, c') and the second is induced by S(c', c') \to S(c, c').

Multiple Endings
A narrative typically ends in one set way, but certain kinds of narrative allow for multiple endings. Comics * ''The Death-Ray'' by Daniel Clowes. * ''Cliff Hanger''. Literature * The ''Choose Your Own Adventure'' series. * ''Fighting Fantasy'' * ''Life's Lottery'' * ''The French Lieutenant's Woman'' Theater * Ayn Rand's 1934 play ''Night of January 16th'' allowed the audience to affect the ending by acting as the "jury" and voting the defendant "innocent" or "guilty". *The 1985 musical ''The Mystery of Edwin Drood''. *Dario Fo's 1970 play, ''Accidental Death of an Anarchist''. *The long-running play ''Shear Madness'' has multiple, audience-selected endings Films DVDs and Blu-ray discs may include an alternate ending as a special feature. These are usually not considered canon. Movies which include multiple endings within the main cut of the film: *''Clue'' *''Wayne's World'' and its sequel, ''Wayne's World 2'' *'' Scarface'' *''Sliding Doors'' *'' Run Lola Run'' *''Harikri ...

Happy Ending
A happy ending is an ending of the plot of a work of fiction in which almost everything turns out for the best for the main protagonists and their sidekicks, while the main villains/antagonists are dead/defeated. In storylines where the protagonists are in physical danger, a happy ending mainly consists of their survival and successful completion of the quest or mission; where there is no physical danger, a happy ending may be lovers consummating their love despite various factors which might have thwarted it. A considerable number of storylines combine both situations. In Steven Spielberg's version of "War of the Worlds", the happy ending consists of three distinct elements: The protagonists all survive the countless perils of their journey; humanity as a whole survives the alien invasion; ''and'' the protagonist father regains the respect of his estranged children. The plot is so constructed that all three are needed for the audience's feeling of satisfaction in the end. A ha ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
False Ending
A false ending is a device in film and music that can be used to trick the audience into thinking that the work has ended, before it continues. The presence of a false ending can be anticipated through a number of ways. The medium itself might betray that the story will continue beyond the false ending. A supposed "ending" that occurs when many pages are still left in a book, when a film or song's running time hasn't fully elapsed, or when only half the world has been explored in a video game, is likely to be false. As such, stories with an indeterminate running length or a multi-story structure are much more likely to successfully deceive their audience with this technique. Another indicator is the presence of a large number of incomplete story lines, character arcs, or other unresolved story elements at the time of the false ending. These elements can leave the audience feeling that too much of the story is incomplete and there has to be more. Film In ''L.A. Confidential'', it s ...

Post-credits Scene
A post-credits scene (commonly referred to as a stinger or credit cookie) or mid-credits scene is a short clip that appears after all or some of the closing credits have rolled and sometimes after a production logo of a film, TV series, or video game has run. It is usually included to reward the audience for watching through the credits sequence; it may be a scene written for humour or to set up a sequel. History Post-credits scenes may have their origins in encores, an additional performance added to the end of staged shows in response to audience applause. Opera encores were common practice in the 19th century, but fell out of favor in the 1920s due to rising emphasis on dramatic storytelling rather than vocal performance. The first general release film to feature a post-credits scene is ''The Silencers'', released in March 1966. The scene depicts lead character Matt Helm (played by Dean Martin) lying shirtless on what appears to be a rotating sofa along with 10 scantily-clad w ...

Ending Credits
Closing credits or end credits are a list of the cast and crew of a particular motion picture, television program, or video game. Where opening credits appear at the beginning of a work, closing credits appear close to, or at the very end of a work. A full set of credits can include the cast and crew, but also production sponsors, distribution companies, works of music licensed or written for the work, various legal disclaimers, such as copyright and more. Typically, the closing credits appear in white lettering on a solid black background, often with a musical background. Credits are either a series of static frames, or a single list that scrolls from the bottom of the screen to the top. Occasionally closing credits will divert from this standard form to scroll in another direction, include illustrations, extra scenes, bloopers, joke credits, or post-credits scenes. The use of closing credits in film to list complete production crew and the cast was not firmly established i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Chess Endgame
In chess and other similar games, the endgame (or end game or ending) is the stage of the game when few pieces are left on the board. The line between middlegame and endgame is often not clear, and may occur gradually or with the quick exchange of a few pairs of pieces. The endgame, however, tends to have different characteristics from the middlegame, and the players have correspondingly different strategic concerns. In particular, pawns become more important as endgames often revolve around attempting to promote a pawn by advancing it to the eighth . The king, which normally should stay hidden during the game should become active in the endgame, as it can help escort pawns to the promotion square, attack enemy pawns, protect other pieces, and restrict the movement of the enemy king. All chess positions with up to seven pieces on the board have been solved, that is, the outcome (win, loss, or draw) of best play by both sides is known, and textbooks and reference works teach th ...

Baseball Game
Baseball is a bat-and-ball games, bat-and-ball sport played between two team sport, teams of nine players each, taking turns batting (baseball), batting and Fielding (baseball), fielding. The game occurs over the course of several Pitch (baseball), plays, with each play generally beginning when a player on the fielding team (baseball), fielding team, called the pitcher, throws a Baseball (ball), ball that a player on the batting team (baseball), batting team, called the Batter (baseball), batter, tries to hit with a baseball bat, bat.

Alternate Ending
An alternate ending (or alternative ending) is an ending of a story that was considered, or even written or produced, but ultimately discarded in favour of another resolution. Generally, alternative endings are considered to have no bearing on the canonical narrative. Examples in literature * Charles Dickens' novel ''Great Expectations'' originally had a bleaker conclusion, with Pip meeting Estella, but after she remarried. In a letter, Dickens stated that he had been persuaded by Edward Bulwer-Lytton to change it prior to publication. * Ernest Hemingway struggled with the ending of '' A Farewell to Arms''. By his count, he wrote 39 of them "before I was satisfied." However, a 2012 edition of the book included 47 alternative endings. * Robert A. Heinlein originally killed off the protagonist of ''Podkayne of Mars'', but grudgingly let her live in response to his publisher's objections. * John Green tied one of the characters to railway tracks in his second draft of ''The Fault i ...

Ending (linguistics)
In linguistics, a suffix is an affix which is placed after the stem of a word. Common examples are case endings, which indicate the grammatical case of nouns, adjectives, and verb endings, which form the conjugation of verbs. Suffixes can carry grammatical information (inflectional suffixes) or lexical information ( derivational/lexical suffixes'').'' An inflectional suffix or a grammatical suffix. Such inflection changes the grammatical properties of a word within its syntactic category. For derivational suffixes, they can be divided into two categories: class-changing derivation and class-maintaining derivation. Particularly in the study of Semitic languages, suffixes are called affirmatives, as they can alter the form of the words. In Indo-European studies, a distinction is made between suffixes and endings (see Proto-Indo-European root). Suffixes can carry grammatical information or lexical information.
