  phase
       
          1. The offset of one's waking-sleeping schedule with respect
          to the standard 24-hour cycle; a useful concept among people
          who often work at night and/or according to no fixed schedule.
          It is not uncommon to change one's phase by as much as 6 hours
          per day on a regular basis.  "What's your phase?"  "I've been
          getting in about 8 P.M. lately, but I'm going to wrap around
          to the day schedule by Friday."  A person who is roughly 12
          hours out of phase is sometimes said to be in "night mode".
          (The term "day mode" is also (but less frequently) used,
          meaning you're working 9 to 5 (or, more likely, 10 to 6).)
          The act of altering one's cycle is called "changing phase";
          "phase shifting" has also been recently reported from Caltech.
       
          2. "change phase the hard way": To stay awake for a very long
          time in order to get into a different phase.
       
          3. "change phase the easy way": To stay asleep, etc.  However,
          some claim that either staying awake longer or sleeping longer
          is easy, and that it is *shortening* your day or night that is
          really hard (see wrap around).  The "jet lag" that afflicts
          travelers who cross many time-zone boundaries may be
          attributed to two distinct causes: the strain of travel per
          se, and the strain of changing phase.  Hackers who suddenly
          find that they must change phase drastically in a short period
          of time, particularly the hard way, experience something very
          like jet lag without travelling.
       
       

  Phase \Phase\ (f[=a]z), n.; pl. Phases (f[=a]z"[e^]z). [NL.
     phasis, Gr. ?, fr. ? to make to appear: cf. F. phase. See
     Phenomenon, Phantom, and Emphasis.]
     1. That which is exhibited to the eye; the appearance which
        anything manifests, especially any one among different and
        varying appearances of the same object.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     2. Any appearance or aspect of an object of mental
        apprehension or view; as, the problem has many phases.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     3. (Astron.) A particular appearance or state in a regularly
        recurring cycle of changes with respect to quantity of
        illumination or form of enlightened disk; as, the phases
        of the moon or planets. See Illust. under Moon.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     4. (Physics) Any one point or portion in a recurring series
        of changes, as in the changes of motion of one of the
        particles constituting a wave or vibration; one portion of
        a series of such changes, in distinction from a contrasted
        portion, as the portion on one side of a position of
        equilibrium, in contrast with that on the opposite side.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     5. (Phys. Chem.) A homogenous, physically distinct portion of
        matter in a system not homogeneous; as, the three phases,
        ice, water, and aqueous vapor. A phase may be either a
        single chemical substance or a mixture, as of gases.
        [Webster 1913 Suppl.]
  
     6. (Zo["o]l.) In certain birds and mammals, one of two or
        more color variations characteristic of the species, but
        independent of the ordinary seasonal and sexual
        differences, and often also of age. Some of the herons
        which appear in white and colored phases, and certain
        squirrels which are sometimes uniformly blackish instead
        of the usual coloration, furnish examples. Color phases
        occur also in other animals, notably in butterflies.
        [Webster 1913 Suppl.]
  
     7. (Elec.) The relation at any instant of a periodically
        varying electric magnitude, as electro-motive force, a
        current, etc., to its initial value as expressed in
        factorial parts of the complete cycle. It is usually
        expressed in angular measure, the cycle beb four right
        angles, or 360[deg]. Such periodic variations are
        generally well represented by sine curves; and phase
        relations are shown by the relative positions of the
        crests and hollows of such curves. Magnitudes which have
        the same phase are said to be in phase.
        [Webster 1913 Suppl.]
  
     8. (Physics) the relation at any instant of any cyclically
        varying physical quantity, such as voltage in an A.C.
        circuit, an electromagnetic wave, a sound wave, or a
        rotating object, to its initial value as expressed as a
        fractional part of the complete cycle. It is usually
        expressed in angular measure, the complete cycle being
        360[deg].
  
     Note: The concept of phase is also applied generally to any
           periodically varying phenomenon, as the cycle of
           daylight. One person who speeps during the day and
           another who sleeps at noght may be said to be out of
           phase with each other.
           [PJC]

  Phase \Phase\ (f[=a]z), v. t. [Cf. Feeze.]
     To disturb the composure of; to disconcert; to nonplus; -- an

     Syn: faze. [Webster 1913 Suppl. +PJC]
