VisibleFeatureType visible feature visible features color A collection of collections. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rr19QJHStEdaAAACgyZzFrg" class="cyc_term">Color</a> is a collection of instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwS68M5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SpatialThing_Localized</a> such that each has the same main exterior color. Use <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4r45WD6H7_EdaAAAABAjVgzA" class="cyc_term">mainColorOfObject</a> to assert that a particular thing's main exterior color is some color. For instance, (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4r45WD6H7_EdaAAAABAjVgzA" class="cyc_term">mainColorOfObject</a> THING COLOR) states that THING is predominantly the color COLOR.

Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4roExDEMs_QdaZrPJCrlciVw" class="cyc_term">ColorPattern</a> is a collection of visible objects that are the same with respect to having a common color pattern. Indicate a particular object's <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4roExDEMs_QdaZrPJCrlciVw" class="cyc_term">ColorPattern</a> with one of the following predicates: #$mainColorPatternOfObject or #$objectHasColorPattern.

Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rQMsSjss8QdaGsLjYlDghGg" class="cyc_term">Reflectivity</a> is a collection of visible objects that are the same with respect to having a common reflectivity.

Reflectivity An instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rPckdtHSyEdaAAACgyZzFrg" class="cyc_term">ObjectTypeBySensibleFeature</a> and a specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4r4-ShYsdNEdaAAACQJ5paaQ" class="cyc_term">VisibleThing</a>. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rFWJKUEYKEdiK8gACs5b6-g" class="cyc_term">ColoredThing</a> is a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwS68M5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SpatialThing_Localized</a> which has some <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rs8MpBnStEdaAAACgyZzFrg" class="cyc_term">ChromaticColor</a> (q.v.). An instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rFWJKUEYKEdiK8gACs5b6-g" class="cyc_term">ColoredThing</a> need not be (chromatically) colored all over; it is sufficient that some part of it is (chromatically) colored. Thus, for example, while a completely clear window would not be an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rFWJKUEYKEdiK8gACs5b6-g" class="cyc_term">ColoredThing</a>, a window with a bright red pattern etched onto (part of) it would be. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rFWJKUEYKEdiK8gACs5b6-g" class="cyc_term">ColoredThing</a> is disjoint with <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rWEE8SMH7Qded391fPyZWRQ" class="cyc_term">ColorlessThing</a> (q.v.). colored thing ColoredThing ExistenceDependentCollection A specialization of both <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwIE23ZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TimeDependentCollection</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rHIBS0h_TEdaAAABQ2rksLw" class="cyc_term">FirstOrderCollection</a> (qq.v.). This is the collection of all first-order collections of which something can be an instance only while that thing exists. Note that a given instance of such a collection might or might not be an instance of same for its entire existence. existence dependent collection The collection of all specializations of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rHIBS0h_TEdaAAABQ2rksLw" class="cyc_term">FirstOrderCollection</a>, that is, of all collections of (first-order) collections, and an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rHUFI8h_TEdaAAABQ2rksLw" class="cyc_term">ThirdOrderCollection</a>. Instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rHQdVmB_TEdaAAABQ2rksLw" class="cyc_term">SecondOrderCollection</a> are collections of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rHIBS0h_TEdaAAABQ2rksLw" class="cyc_term">FirstOrderCollection</a>s. Any instance of any instance of any instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rHQdVmB_TEdaAAABQ2rksLw" class="cyc_term">SecondOrderCollection</a> is an <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjaApwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Individual</a>.

Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rkoD4DnStEdaAAACgyZzFrg" class="cyc_term">PartiallyTangibleTypeByPhysicalFeature</a> is a collection of individuals who all share a particular physical property. For example <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwHsVKpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">RhNegative</a> is the collection of instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjI8JwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Blood</a> such that each is blood that is of type rh-negative. This collection represents the property "being blood type rh-negative" and something has that property just in case they are an instance of that collection. Note: these collections represent properties that things have or lack in a relatively absolute sense. For physical properties that admit of dense degress (e.g. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVj_hJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Flammability</a> -- although something can be flammable in an absolute sense it is by virtue of having a particular degree of flammability.) see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rhywBFkT6EdaAAACgye4oEQ" class="cyc_term">PhysicalQuantity</a>. Pretty String (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwLSVCpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">prettyString</a> TERM STRING) means that STRING is the English word or expression (sequence of words) commonly used to refer to TERM. The predicate <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwLSVCpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">prettyString</a> is used by the code which generates CycL to English paraphrases, but its applicability is not restricted to this use. prettyString VisibleFeatureType visible feature VisibleFeatureType visible feature VisibleFeatureType visible feature
