  • The initial condition of a cyclic phenomenon

  • --- Phase (waves) , initial angle of a sinusoid function at its origin

  • --- Continuous Fourier Transform , angle of a complex coefficient representing the phase of one sinusoidal component

  • The current (time varying) state of a cyclic phenomenon
