Action at a distance
Action at a distance is the concept in physics that an object's motion (physics), motion can be affected by another object without the two being in Contact mechanics, physical contact; that is, it is the concept of the non-local interaction of ob ...
, direct interaction of physical objects that are not in proximity

Conjugated system
In physical organic chemistry, a conjugated system is a system of connected p-orbitals with delocalized electrons in a molecule, which in general lowers the overall energy of the molecule and increases Chemical stability, stability. It is Reson ...
(or nonlocalized bond), in chemistry, a conjugated system is a system of connected p-orbitals with delocalized electrons in compounds with alternating single and multiple bonds, which in general may lower the overall energy of the molecule and increase stability

Nonlocal Lagrangian, in field theory, a type of functional
which contains terms which are nonlocal in the fields i.e. which are not polynomials or functions of the fields or their derivatives evaluated at a single point in the space of dynamical parameters (e.g. space-time)
** Other nonlocal relationships in physics, such as
Pippard's nonlocal generalisation of the
Londons' equations for superconductivity
*
Non-local means, an algorithm in image processing for image denoising
*
Nonlocal operator, which maps functions on a topological space to functions, in such a way that the value of the output function at a given point cannot be determined solely from the values of the input function in any neighbourhood of any point.

Non-local variable
In programming language theory, a non-local variable is a variable that is not defined in the local Scope (computer science), scope. While the term can refer to global variables, it is primarily used in the context of nested function, nested and ...
