embodiments
Living concrete examples
Embodiments is the plural of embodiment—concrete manifestations of abstract qualities or ideas.
A person can be the embodiment of grace or the embodiment of evil, meaning they perfectly represent that quality in physical form.
The word also covers physical expressions of concepts: The Constitution is an embodiment of democratic ideals.
In legal and technical contexts, embodiments refers to specific implementations of a broader invention or design.
