    • Values within affordances were ranked and assigned metric values. Standardized canonical discriminant function coefficients of .835, .515, and .298 for complexity, concreteness, and syndeticity. 1994, Mary Esther Brown, Children's Naming of Subject Categories..., Drexel University, p. 79
  3. (uncountable) The state or quality of being syndetic, particularly ▸ The condition of having bounded gaps between members.
    • For topological recurrence we need a different notion of largeness for subsets of S, namely that of syndeticity. A subset of E of N is said to be syndetic if it has bounded gaps. Equivalently, E C N is syndetic if N is the union of finitely many shifts. 1988, Robert Ellis & al., ed., Topological Dynamics and Applications... American Mathematical Society, p. 211
