the allowable deviation from a standard size; the total amount by which a specific dimension may vary; thus, the tolerance is the difference between the maximum and minimum limits.

Some industrial plants and railroads, as sellers, and some consumers, as buyers, have established policies which allow for tolerances established so as to eliminate adjustments for slight variations in weights between origin and destination. Weight tolerance policies on the part of a seller, for example, might allow for adjustments in net weight settlement only if the destination weight on a shipment exceeds origin weight by 1,000# or more. A tolerance policy by a consumer might accept origin weights only if a variation of more than 500# exists. The details of weight tolerance policies are simple, but become complicated if and when both seller and buyer have tolerance policies which are not readily compatible with each other.

To prevent the effects of certain things.

the loss of activity of a drug, requiring higher doses to maintain the same effect.

The body's ability to adapt to chronic alcohol or substance use. Higher BACs are needed to produce intoxication in alcohol abusers and alcoholics. Chronic alcohol use leads to increased levels of liver enzymes that metabolize alcohol. Since they allow the liver to more efficiently break down alcohol, the individual must consume a larger dose to reach a given BAC. This increased level of alcohol can severely damage the body's physiological systems, despite the apparent "normalcy" displayed by the individual.

The normal state whereby the immune system remains nonreactive or "tolerant" to the body's own cells.

This event, strictly referred to as immune tolerance, is very important to the long-term success of a transplant. After a time, usually a year or so, many of the prior host and donor T lymphocytes die off and the new lymphocytes are formed from the donors engrafted stem cells. These “adapt” to the new host and stop attacking the recipient's cells. If tolerance is present, the immune system is no longer distracted and can serve the patient by working efficiently to protect against microbes. Risk of infection returns toward that of a healthy person.

(TAH-luh-rense) Loss of or reduction in the normal response to a drug or other agent, following use or exposure over a prolonged period. Also, the physiological state that exists in an organism when its immune system has proceeded far enough in the process of self-recognition to lose the capacity to attack and destroy its own bodily constituents.

Diminished or absent capacity to make a specific response to an antigen, usually produced as a result of contact with that antigen under nonimmunizing conditions.

When no immune response is mounted against an antigen. Self cells and tumors are tolerated because they possess self antigens

Failure to mount an immune reaction on exposure to what would normally be an antigenic substance.

A meta-meme which confers resistance to a wide variety of memes (and their sociotypes), without conferring meme-allergies. In its purest form, Tolerance allows its host to be repeatedly exposed to rival memes, even intolerant rivals, without active infection or meme-allergic reaction. Tolerance is a central co-meme in a wide variety of schemes, particularly "liberalism", and "democracy". Without it, a scheme will often become exo-toxic and confer meme-allergies on its hosts. Since schemes compete for finite belief-space, tolerance is not necessarily a virtue, but it has co-evolved in the ideosphere in much the same way as co-operation has evolved in biological ecosystems.
