This does not mean that <code>AGENT</code> is at every moment directly affecting <code>THING</code>, but that <code>AGENT</code> can and will intervene when necessary. However, it does mean that <code>AGENT</code> must exercise some form of influence over <code>THING</code> at some time. For instance, in the military, a superior officer stands in this relation to a subordinate under his command. The officer need not at every moment tell the soldier what to do, but will intervene to correct the subordinate's actions when needed. However, the officer does at the very least affect the soldier psychologically, or the superior does not have effective control. Normally, when an agent is in control of something, the agent is held responsible for what that thing does, or what happens to it. Note that <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rv1aZ05wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">controls</a> refers to a standing relation between an agent and thing, perhaps as a result of stable social or causal facts. Note also, however, that the thing controlled might be an event rather than an object, and in such cases the controller only <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rv1aZ05wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">controls</a> the event while (i.e. some or all of the time during which) the event is taking place; thus it differs from an actor-slot like <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViWkJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">directingAgent</a>, which continues to hold between a directing agent and the directed event even after that event is finished. For the relation of controlling an object during a particular action, see the actor-slot <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVi9sJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">objectControlled</a>.
