What is the meaning of projective?
Definition
adj (English)
1. (geometry) Of or related to projective geometry:Examples: "Hence the non-Euclidean angle is measured by one-half the logarithm of the cross-ratio of four rays. Although the Euclidean point of view has been adopted for simplicity, the final result, depending as it does only on the cross-ratio, is projective; it is therefore independent of the particular assumptions that the rays α and β are perpendicular and that the initial line bisects the angle between them."usually

2. (mathematics) A projective member of a category.Examples: "By 2.2 we see that this is a full, contravariant imbedding, and by 2.3 the image of A in (A, G) is a generating set of small projectives."; "In particular our assumptions hold if B is an abelian category with enough projectives."; "The idea behind “cheating with projectives” in a pre-Abelian category with a separating class of projectives is this: Make the arrows do the work that elements do in concrete categories."
3. (linguistics) A statement about a conditional or potential state of affairs, as opposed to one about a situation that actually exists or existed.Examples: "There was no basis for expecting differences in the frequency of projectives or turnabouts as a function of partner."; "The volitive moods (also called volitives, volitional forms, modals, or projectives) are the imperative, jussive, and cohortative."; "This implies they contain more information than projectives. For if language is a code, then every element of that code – here, every word, every form of a word – would register a distinct semantic ingredient."
