Principio

A principle is a law or rule that is fulfilled or must be followed with a certain purpose, as a necessary consequence of something or in order to achieve a certain purpose. Natural laws are examples of physical principles, in mathematics, linguistics, algorithms and other fields there are also necessary principles or that are simply fulfilled or should be fulfilled if it is intended to have a certain state of facts. Another way of conceiving the principles inherent in a system or discipline is as a reflection of the essential characteristics of a system, which users or researchers assume, and without which it is not possible to work, understand or use such a system. Etymologically the principle derives from the Latin principium 'beginning, first part, main part' in turn derived from prim- 'first, first' and cap- 'take, grasp,' so literally principium is' what is Takes first '. It can be called principle to the moral values ​​of a person or group. Un principio es una ley o regla que se cumple o debe seguirse con cierto propósito, como consecuencia necesaria de algo o con el fin de lograr cierto propósito. Las leyes naturales son ejemplos de principios físicos, en matemáticas, lingüística, algoritmico y otros campos también existen principios necesarios o que se cumplen sin más o que deberían cumplirse si se pretende tener cierto estado de hechos. Otra manera de concebir los principios inherentes a un sistema o una disciplina es como un reflejo de las características esenciales de un sistema, que los usuarios o investigadores asumen, y sin los cual no es posible trabajar, comprender o usar dicho sistema. Etimológicamente principio deriva del latín principium 'comienzo, primera parte, parte principal' a su vez derivado de prim- 'primero, en primer lugar' y cap- 'tomar, coger, agarrar', por lo que literalmente principium es 'lo que se toma en primer lugar'. Se le puede llamar principio a los valores morales de una persona o grupo.
