What's the difference between invariable and unalterable?

Invariable


Definition:

  • (a.) Not given to variation or change; unalterable; unchangeable; always uniform.
  • (n.) An invariable quantity; a constant.

Example Sentences:

  • (8) An obsessional artist who was an enemy of all institutions, cinematic as well as social, and whose principal theme was intolerance, he invariably gets delivered to us today by institutions - most recently the National Film Theatre, which starts a Dreyer retrospective this month - that can't always be counted on to represent him in all his complexity.

  • (17) The relative invariance of the allometric baselines of wing morphology in nature is most easily explained as the result of continuous natural selection around a local optimum of functional design.
  • (18) When the paper had some explaining to do, Kuttner was invariably asked to carry out that task.
  • (19) We found that NS1 cells express correctly sized mRNA for the MHC class II genes A alpha, E alpha and the invariant chain.
  • (20) When we reached our summit, or whatever spot was deemed by my father to be of adequately punishing distance from the car to deserve lunch, Dad would invariably find he had forgotten his Swiss army knife (looking back, I begin to doubt he ever had one) and instead would cut cheese into slices with the edge of his credit card.

Unalterable


Definition:

Example Sentences:

  • (1) As Nick Bostrom, the head of the Future of Humanity Institute at the University of Oxford and a leading transhumanist thinker puts it, transhumanism "challenges the premise that the human condition is and will remain essentially unalterable".

  • (3) The following resolutions were adopted:– "That we, a monster meeting of the Orangemen of Newtownards and of the surrounding districts, recognise, with gratitude, the exertions of our brethren in time past, and declare our unalterable determination to stand or fall by the principles of our Order in defence of Her Majesty the Queen and of the British Constitution.
  • (4) General distrust of genetic methodologies as well as the belief that genic disorders are unalterable appear to be salient factors in explaining the neglect of those areas by social scientists.
