inversarea

Inversarea, or inversion, is the process of reversing the order, orientation, or relationships of elements within a system. The term is used across fields, with each domain assigning its own technical meaning while sharing the general idea of turning something inside out or undoing a previous arrangement.

In mathematics, an inverse operation undoes another. An inverse function maps outputs back to inputs, satisfying f(f^{-1}(y)) = y and f^{-1}(f(x)) = x for all x in the domain. The inverse of a matrix exists when the matrix is non-singular. Geometric inversion, performed with respect to a circle, transforms points so that the product of distances to the center is constant, yielding a reversible reconfiguration of shapes and distances.

In linguistics, inversion refers to the reversal of the conventional word order, typically of the subject and predicate, to mark questions, emphasis, or stylistic effect. Variants appear in many languages and can involve auxiliary verbs, clitics, or changes in intonation.

In genetics, a chromosomal inversion is a structural rearrangement in which a chromosome segment is flipped end-to-end. Inversions are categorized as paracentric (not involving the centromere) or pericentric (involving the centromere). They can suppress recombination within the inverted region and influence evolutionary dynamics, chromosome behavior during meiosis, and genetic diversity.

In music theory, inversion describes rearrangements of pitch content. Chord inversions place a different chord member, such as the third or seventh, in the bass. Melodic or interval inversions reorder scale degrees to alter harmonic function and voice leading.
