Kernel

3. Something to do with group theory, but I don't know what. Can anyone fill in? ---- IANAB (I am not a biologist), but the following looks like a definition that one would find in a dictionary, and unless this could be augmented by further scientific discussion (which would, specifically, use the term "kernel"), I think we should leave it for dictionaries: : The kernel is the essential part of a seed; all that is within the seed walls; the edible substance contained in the shell of a nut; hence, anything included in a shell, husk, or integument; as, the kernel of a nut. Also a single seed or grain; as, a kernel of corn. I fully admit I could be wrong, and I invite somebody to prove that this isn't just a definition of an ordinary word but an essential and expandable (though stubby) discussion of a piece of jargon. Otherwise, please see Wikipedia is not a dictionary. --user:Larry Sanger Better yet, make Kernel a disambiguation page, and have it link to seed. Revert it if you don't like it. --user:Damian Yerrick ---- OK, I'll revert it. (I don't see the point in having the link to the seed article; the point of a disambiguation page is not to list all the possible senses of a word, but to point to existing and potential articles by the name in question.) --user:Larry Sanger It seems we should link directly to kernel of a homomorphism instead of to a stub kernel (mathematics) which then links to (and repeats the definition of) kernel of a homomorphism. Also, I find it helpful to give a one-sentence description to orient people who end up on this page. user:AxelBoldt
