The remedy, as she describes it, is to develop a theoretical understanding of color that will in time bring unity.

At the time there was no strong theoretical understanding of these effects, and predicting them was difficult.

However, theoretical understanding of the solutions to these equations is incomplete.

Basically, we aren't there, but progress is continuing, and scientists are still waiting for the sort of theoretical understanding that could produce a breakthrough.

I know it's not based on a theoretical understanding of hyperspace.

No matter how acute his theoretical understanding of the subject, she would always have that edge over him.

It can refer to the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject.

However, the theoretical understanding is "very insufficient to be able to judge whether how such a thing would happen," he said.

In the last few decades, major advances have been made toward a theoretical understanding of the collapse process.
