frame of reference

• Eine Reihe von Annahmen, Maßstäben oder Kriterien, die als Grundlage für Urteile, Interpretationen oder Bewertungen dienen. In der Physik auch ein Koordinatensystem zur Beschreibung der Position oder Bewegung von Objekten.

A set of assumptions, standards, or criteria that form the basis for making judgments, interpretations, or evaluations. It can also refer to a coordinate system used to measure the position or motion of objects in physics.
