Process

Process (lat. processus - movement) is a naturally occurring or designed sequence of operations or events, possibly taking up time, space, expertise or other resource, which produces some outcome. A process may be identified by the changes it creates in the properties of one or more objects under its influence. Compare: project.

A process may be categorized as singular, recurrent, or periodic. A singular process would be one which occurs only once. Few processes in nature can be considered singular. Most processes found in nature are recurrent, or repeat more than once. Recurring processes which repeat at a constant rate are considered periodic. The more periodic a process is the more useful it is as the basis of a clock. Below are a few specific examples of processes.

Operation: The word operation can mean any of several things:...

Event: An event is something that takes place; an occurrence and arbitrary point in time. A significant occurrence or happening. A social gathering or activity....

Time: :For alternate uses of "time", see Time (disambiguation) or see TIME (magazine)....
