@propensive not really... could imagine varipotent, heteropotent etc... impotent :D -
@mandubian I was looking for a word to demarcate the part of a method body that's not "safe" to run more than once. Maybe just "potent". ;) - Show replies

@propensive idempotence for no inputs -> "anti-idempotent". If only for some inputs (eg if E idempotent element) -> "not idempotent" -
@alexiswellwood Brilliant! I love that this answer came from you!

@propensive Like the contrast between reflexivity, irreflexivity, and mere failure of reflexivity (non-reflexivity). -
@alexiswellwood Got it, thanks! :)

@propensive Not idempotent means it has some effects .. why not "effectful" ? Or just "unsafe" .. -
@debasishg@propensive idempotence is not necessarily about effects. e.g. semilattices are idempotent so f(x, x) = x. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semilattice … - Show replies

@propensive Since "idem" means same, "multipotent" would be an antonym of sorts. Most of the *potent words are of biological roots though.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
