resolution
New Year's pledge
Resolution is the act of resolving or the state of being resolved.
A firm decision or determination: My New Year's resolution is to exercise more.
The settling of a dispute or problem: The conflict reached resolution after months of negotiation.
In narrative, the resolution is where plot threads come together after the climax.
In optics and imaging, resolution measures the fineness of detail a system can distinguish—higher resolution means sharper images.
In music, resolution is the movement from dissonance to consonance, tension releasing into stability.
