The scoring in tennis is structured as 15, 30, 40 instead of a linear progression because it originated from a clock face, where the hand moved from 0 to 15 to 30 to 45 (which was later changed to 40 for simplicity). This traditional scoring system has been retained for historical reasons and to maintain the unique heritage of the sport.

Time is not a loop in the sense that it repeats in a continuous cycle. Instead, time is a linear progression from past to present to future.
The purpose of using a linear array in descriptive essay writing is to present information in a logical and organized manner. It helps to arrange details spatially, showing relationships between elements and helping readers visualize the topic more clearly. It allows for a structured progression of ideas and enhances the coherence of the essay.
In order to tie a geometric progression to a linear progression. For example, it is easier to calculate 12 log 1.024 than 1.024^12. Exponentials can be simplified.
Linear media is a term used to describe any media where there is a defined beginning and a linear progression to the end. Example movies, audio and video tapes and most books are organized linearly.
Changes in team members, shifts in project priorities, limited resources, and external factors such as market fluctuations or sudden changes in leadership can all disrupt the linear progression of team development.
Art did not necessarily evolve in a linear progression from primitive to realistic

The concept of an evolutionary ladder is outdated in modern evolutionary theory. Evolution does not follow a linear progression towards complexity or advancement. Instead, it is about adapting to environmental changes over time. Each species is uniquely adapted to its own niche, with no inherent hierarchy.
Both processes involve organizing information in a sequential order. Thinking chronologically requires arranging thoughts or events in a logical time sequence, similarly to how a timeline visually displays events or information in a linear progression. In both cases, the goal is to provide a clear, structured understanding of the sequence of events.
Time is merely a linear progression. Sadly if you have wasted two hours of your own time, it is rather difficult to get it back again...
Nonlinear format for the publishing of information refers to presenting content in a non-traditional, structured way that allows readers to navigate freely. This format may include hyperlinks, interactive elements, or branching pathways that do not follow a linear progression. Nonlinear publishing can offer readers more engagement and control over how they consume the information.
The term rapid linear progression is often used in conjunction with semen analysis. In most men, sperm cells (spermatozoa) should move rapidly (fast) in a linear (straight) fashion so as to reach the ovum and cause fertilisation. When lab technicians examine semen microscopically, as part of the investigation of sub-fertility in a couple, the technicians estimate the percentage of sperm cells that move rapidly and in a straight line. Other observations include the percentages include that of sperm moving rapidly but not in a linear (straight/progressive) fashion, those moving sluggishly and the percentage of immotile spermatozoa. Ideally, 25% of the spermatozoa should move with rapid linear motion (progression). The exact reference value however, depends on the individual lab and possibly population being served by that lab.
