What's the difference between classification and duality?

Classification


Definition:

  • (n.) The act of forming into a class or classes; a distibution into groups, as classes, orders, families, etc., according to some common relations or affinities.

Duality


Definition:

  • (n.) The quality or condition of being two or twofold; dual character or usage.

Example Sentences:

  • (10) In the light of the cases reported, it would appear that the scintigraphic picture of the "hot" nodule is more in favor of a duality between the latter and healthy tissue with respect to iodine than of a hypersensitivity to TSH.
  • (11) As a consequence, family attachment styles, which proceed-throughout development-together with personal identity construction processes, stress the notion of relationship as a dialectical and interactive process, defining the irreducible duality of human experience, in which the personal individuality construction is linked, since the earliest phases of life, to the significant relationships.
  • (12) Collectively, these findings demonstrate that ET-1 exerts a potent duality of action in rabbit TSM which varies significantly with maturation, wherein 1) age-dependent differences in airway relaxation are associated with changes in the evoked release of bronchodilatory prostaglandins and 2) maturational differences in airway contraction are associated with changes in Ins(1,4,5)P3 accumulation and extracellular Ca2+ mobilization, coupled to differences in PKC activation.
