1 .
A standard way of writing a formula . Two
formulas such as 9 x and x 9 are said to be equivalent
because they mean the same thing , but the second one is in
canonical form " because it is written in the usual way , with
the highest power of x first . Usually there are fixed rules
you can use to decide whether something is in canonical form .
Things in canonical form are easier to compare .
2 . The usual or standard state or manner of
something . The term acquired this meaning in computer -science
culture largely through its prominence in {Alonzo Church }'s
work in computation theory and {mathematical logic } (see
Knights of the Lambda -Calculus }).
Compare {vanilla }.
This word has an interesting history . Non -technical academics
do not use the adjective "canonical " in any of the senses
defined above with any regularity ; they do however use the
nouns "canon " and "canonicity " (not "canonicalness "* or
canonicality "*). The "canon " of a given author is the
complete body of authentic works by that author (this usage is
familiar to Sherlock Holmes fans as well as to literary
scholars ). "The canon " is the body of works in a given field
e .g . works of literature , or of art , or of music ) deemed
worthwhile for students to study and for scholars to
investigate .
The word "canon " derives ultimately from the Greek "kanon "
akin to the English "cane ") referring to a reed . Reeds were
used for measurement , and in Latin and later Greek the word
canon " meant a rule or a standard . The establishment of a
canon of scriptures within Christianity was meant to define a
standard or a rule for the religion . The above non -technical
academic usages stem from this instance of a defined and
accepted body of work . Alongside this usage was the
promulgation of "canons " ("rules ") for the government of the
Catholic Church . The usages relating to religious law derive
from this use of the Latin "canon ". It may also be related to
arabic "qanun " (law ).
Hackers invest this term with a playfulness that makes an
ironic contrast with its historical meaning . A true story :
One Bob Sjoberg , new at the {MIT AI Lab }, expressed some
annoyance at the incessant use of jargon . Over his loud
objections , {GLS } and {RMS } made a point of using as much of
it as possible in his presence , and eventually it began to
sink in . Finally , in one conversation , he used the word
canonical " in jargon -like fashion without thinking . Steele :
Aha ! We 've finally got you talking jargon too !" Stallman :
What did he say ?" Steele : "Bob just used "canonical " in the
canonical way ."
Of course , canonicality depends on context , but it is
implicitly defined as the way *hackers * normally expect things
to be . Thus , a hacker may claim with a straight face that
according to religious law " is *not * the canonical meaning of
canonical ".

Usually there are fixed rules you can use to decide whether something is in canonical form .
The jargon meaning ,
a relaxation of the technical meaning ,
