Domain	Definition
Computing	Sound 1. audio. 2. An inference system A is sound with respect to another system B if A can only reach conclusions which are true in B. A type inference system is considered sound with respect to a semantics if the type inferred for an expression is the same as the type inferred for the meaning of that expression under the semantics. The dual to soundness is completeness. (1995-03-01). Source: The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing.
Aerospace	1. An oscillation in pressure, stress, particle displacement, particle velocity, etc., in a medium with internal forces (e.g., elastic, viscous), or the superposition of such propagated oscillations. 2. A sensation evoked by the oscillation described above in the human ear.In case of possible confusion, the term sound wave or elastic wave may be used for concept 1 and the term sound sensation for concept 2. Not all sound wave can evoke an auditory sensation, e.g., ultrasound. The medium in which the sound exists is often indicated by an appropriate adjective, e.g., airborne, water borne, structure borne. (references)

John Locke	1690	So that the end and measure of this power, when in every man's hands in the state of nature, being the preservation of all of his society, that is, all mankind in general, it can have no other end or measure, when in the hands of the magistrate, but to preserve the members of that society in their lives, liberties, and possessions; and so cannot be an absolute, arbitrary power over their lives and fortunes, which are as much as possible to be preserved; but a power to make laws, and annex such penalties to them, as may tend to the preservation of the whole, by cutting off those parts, and those only, which are so corrupt, that they threaten the sound and healthy, without which no severity is lawful.
