Members of different species of animals cannot produce fertile offspring by interbreeding.

Each instance COVTYPE of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVijDJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CalendarCoveringType</a> is a collection of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViAw5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TimeInterval</a>s such that the temporally-ordered sequence of all of the instances of COVTYPE would completely cover all of time without any overlap. Thus, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViTO5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CalendarHour</a> is a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVijDJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CalendarCoveringType</a> because all of time consists of a non-overlapping sequence of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViTO5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CalendarHour</a>s.

Also note that a collection called (say) "Week" -- defined (unlike CalendarWeek) as the collection of _all_ seven-day-long periods of time (thus an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rUZ_j-rTBEdaAAACgycbRfg" class="cyc_term">SameLengthTimeIntervalType</a>) -- would _not_ be an instance of CalendarCoveringType since different Weeks of this sort overlap; e.g. the week beginning today, the week beginning yesterday, and the week beginning tomorrow all overlap. type of calendar time interval CalendarCoveringType type of polynucleotide component A type level collection. Each instance is a salient collection of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwCrWjpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Polynucleotide</a>s that are components (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvkwejpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MolecularComponent</a>) within larger <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rv-_ts5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PolynucleotideMolecule</a>s.

An argument entry-format is a kind of restriction on a predicate regarding how many things, or the range of things, that the predicate holds of with respect to a given one of its argument-places. More precisely: given any particular way of fixing the arguments in the rest of the predicate's argument-places, the entry-format tells us something about the number of different things, or the range of things, that can occupy the given argument-place such that the relation holds of those arguments. That is, supposing the given argument-place is the Nth, the entry-format tells us something about the number or range of different sequences of arguments of which the predicate holds and that differ from each other only in their Nth items. Two important specializations of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rv9mupZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ArgFormatPredicate</a> are <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rCChXalCpEdaAAACgydogAg" class="cyc_term">SpecificEntryFormatPredicate</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rEuUQRFCpEdaAAACgydogAg" class="cyc_term">GeneralEntryFormatPredicate</a> (qq.v.). Instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rCChXalCpEdaAAACgydogAg" class="cyc_term">SpecificEntryFormatPredicate</a> each have to do with a specific format (see e.g. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4r1Sp9BFCrEdaAAACgydogAg" class="cyc_term">singleEntryFormatInArgs</a>). Instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rEuUQRFCpEdaAAACgydogAg" class="cyc_term">GeneralEntryFormatPredicate</a> are comparatively "higher-order", and are used to relate any given <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rCChXalCpEdaAAACgydogAg" class="cyc_term">SpecificEntryFormatPredicate</a> to a (fixed or given) argument-place of a given predicate (see e.g. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvWGIa5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">arg1Format</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvYo24ZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">argFormat</a>). Note that in some of the later cases the specified format constraint will be an "inter-argument" one that depends in some way upon one of the predicate's other argument-places (or upon another, non-format, feature of the same argument-place); see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwKJT8JwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">InterArgFormatPredicate</a>.

A violation of a legitimate entry-format constraint necessarily involves two or more statements, and at least one them must be _untrue_; but there is no implication that any of them is malformed.

It is not clear to me that these slots are meaningful in this context, but the system forces me to include them. If have tried to choose values reflecting the precise nature of the lexical enterprise. That is, although any particular usage of the word `flower' may be ambiguous, it is nearly certain that in general, the objects which are in fact flowers are among the possible meanings of flower. As for the threshold, we don't want lexical entries unless the lexicographer is quite certain he is right. As for aPrioriLikelihood, it is highly unlikely that, for example, some arbitrarily choosen word will have among its possible meanings some arbitrarily choosen concept. The number .01 was choosen based on the estimated size of CYC's lexica for the forseeable future. Another possible value of this unit is simply as an organizing concept allowing lexicographers quick access to the existing slots relevant to their interests.

A collection of binary predicates that reveal information about the epistemological state of the ARG1. Examples include <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjQQ5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">awareOf</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVkDi5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">knowsAbout</a>, both of which indicate cognitive properties of the ARG1 with respect to ARG2. A necessary condition for membership in this collection is that the predicate is non-modal. This means that coreferential substitution into the ARG2 positions of these predicates preserves truth. This non-modal constraint amounts to the following: if (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVkDi5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">knowsAbout</a> Joe <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwPzTeJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">GeorgeWashington</a>) holds then so does (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVkDi5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">knowsAbout</a> Joe 'the first U.S. president') and (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVkDi5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">knowsAbout</a> Joe 'the Valley Forge commander buried in Baltimore, Maryland.') even though Joe might not know this last piece of information.

In some cases a modal predicate may have a non-modal counterpart (e.g. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVkLtpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">knows</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVkDi5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">knowsAbout</a>), but only the non-modal sense will be a member of this collection. cognitive awareness predicate CognitiveAwarenessPredicate character sequence A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwQGTzJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">AbstractInformationStructure</a>.

An instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvWEA25wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CharacterString</a> is a list (see the collection <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvtUAU5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">List</a>) of characters (instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVzt_ZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Character_Abstract</a>) from some fixed character set. An instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvWEA25wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CharacterString</a> may be any finite length, including zero (the zero-length string is the empty string, which has no characters). Notable specializations of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvWEA25wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CharacterString</a> include <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjYb5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">EMailAddress</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjCG5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">AreaCode</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjs7pwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PhoneNumber</a>, and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVj3pZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TelephoneCountryCode</a>. Note that a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvWEA25wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CharacterString</a> is ordered formally as a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvtUAU5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">List</a> (rather than physically left-to-right or top-to-bottom); thus the 'first' character in the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvWEA25wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CharacterString</a> for an Arabic word happens to be the rightmost (first pronounced) character, not the leftmost character, due to the letter-order and word-order convention for Arabic writing.

ExpositoryArticle The collection of all articles [<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwPkghJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Article_PCW</a>] which, in the current <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViA1ZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Microtheory</a>, meet the criteria for articles such that their most salient style is "expository". Such articles are written in a way so as to "lay out the facts", "explain meanings", "describe the truth". Note that although the definition of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvzHRG5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ExpositoryArticle</a> must meet certain stylistic criteria, the current <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViA1ZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Microtheory</a> need not claim that the contents of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvzHRG5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ExpositoryArticle</a>s are factual, correct, etc.. Consider the following 4 examples which assume that one is in microtheory which defines "expository" as a "20th Century Scientific Rationalist" person would. (1) Any professional scientific journal article would be a typical positive example of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvzHRG5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ExpositoryArticle</a>. (2) The writings of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwJFbY5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ThomasAquinas</a> could qualify as a positive example of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvzHRG5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ExpositoryArticle</a> even though the contents of his writings might not be considered factual. (3) A _Reader's Digest_ article version of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjJe5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MobyDickNovel</a> would be a negative example of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvzHRG5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ExpositoryArticle</a> since its contents would be considered a narrative, and thus not in expository style. (Note that, even if said article contained expository tracts on whaling and ships, its most salient overall style would be narrative, and thus not expository.) (4) An article from the "Journal of Irreproducible Results", although fictional, is a positive example because it is written expositorily. To be sure, note that membership in <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvzHRG5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ExpositoryArticle</a> may change as one moves to microtheories which posit different requirements for what is considered "expository". For example, in a microtheory which defined "expository" as per around the time of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwQCL0JwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TheRenaissance</a>, an article-sized excerpt of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwGv3zpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">GalileoGalilei</a>'s "Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems, Ptolemaic & Copernican" could arguably count as an <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvzHRG5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ExpositoryArticle</a>. However, in a microtheory such as <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwPe7s5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MainstreamAmericanCultureMt</a>, it would be much more of a stretch to claim that something in the style of the previously mentioned dialogue would be an admissible element of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvzHRG5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ExpositoryArticle</a>. expository article portable object A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVkGrZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">HumanScaleObject</a> (q.v.). Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViBMZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PortableObject</a> is a tangible object that is not "fastened down" and is light enough for an average human (or, more to the point, for its average intended user) to move easily. For many instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViBMZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PortableObject</a>, portability is important for the fulfillment of their primary functions; for example, an article of clothing (an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVkEoJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SomethingToWear</a>), a hand-guided tool (an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVig-pwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">HandTool</a>), a coin or dollar bill (an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjMQpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Currency</a>), or a flashlight (an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjc1pwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Flashlight</a>) would be pretty useless if they weren't portable. In other cases, making a device portable, or making a portable version of a device, simply provides a convenience, as with the subcollections <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwPvPDJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PortableTelevision</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjYqZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PortableStereoSystem</a>. Note that <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwPznZJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Tool</a> is not a subcollection of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViBMZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PortableObject</a>, since many tools are heavy and/or stationary. A borderline example of a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViBMZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PortableObject</a> would be a heart/lung machine; although the beneficiary of its primary function is in no position to move it around, the physicians and nurses who also are "using" it can and do exactly that. The same goes for a playpen; the kids in it had better not be able to move it around, but the adults who set it up and put them there can and do move it. A borderline non-example would be a car; even though its user can make it move around, that is more a controlling action than a transporting action -- i.e., the car is doing the transporting in that case, not the driver. A borderline example is a cat; even though it moves under its own power, it is light enough for its owner to pick it up and move it around. A borderline example is a bed or a dresser; though too heavy to lift, its owners can generally move it around (by sliding, disassembling and reassembling, and so on).

LocationalPredicate A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVi8F5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SpatialPredicate</a> whose instances are used to indicate the locations of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjpUZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SpatialThing</a>s within a particular frame of reference. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvprGR5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">AbsoluteLocationalPredicate</a>s (q.v.) are used to indicate a spatial thing's location by giving a pure <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvlxdi5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SpaceRegion</a> in which it is embedded. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwMfM5ZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">RelativeLocationalPredicate</a>s (q.v.) are used to indicate the relative locations of two or more spatial things with respect to one another. locational predicate ArgIsaPredicate argument-type specifying predicate The collection of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvV3kTJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ArgTypePredicate</a>s (q.v.) that specify argument-types directly (by referencing certain collections) and impose constraints that require a thing's being an instance of a collection thus specified. More precisely, each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvprxT5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ArgIsaPredicate</a> PRED takes a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViAzZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Relation</a> RELN as its first argument (or "arg1"), and has at least one other argument-place (say the Mth) for specifying an argument-type for one of RELN's argument-places (say the Nth). (The value of N might be fixed or might be given by yet another of PRED's arguments.) Suppose M=2 and N=1. PRED then takes a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViAzJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Collection</a> as its second argument, and a closed atomic sentence (or "GAF") of the form (PRED RELN COL ..) puts an "<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViBBJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">isa</a>" constraint on RELN's first argument-place that is based on COL. If PRED is a "single-argument" constraint predicate, the GAF entails that a closed formula of the form (RELN ARG1 ..) is semantically well-formed only if ARG1 is an instance of (i.e. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViBBJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">isa</a>) COL. If PRED is an "inter-argument" constraint predicate, the GAF expresses a slightly more complicated, conditional <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViBBJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">isa</a> constraint on a pair of RELN's argument-places (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwCJNopwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">InterArgIsaPredicate</a>). water respiration Respiration which trades carbon dioxide in the organism's tissues with <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjIyJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Oxygen</a> from the water surrounding the organism.--Siegel, May 17, 1996 WaterRespiration aquatic organism AquaticOrganism A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjE1pwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Organism_Whole</a>.

Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rv48it5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Connection_Physical</a> is a group consisting of parts of at least two instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVj27ZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PartiallyTangible</a> that are in physical contact and which are connected in way such that they resist spatial separation. Examples include the connection between a table leg and a tabletop, two pieces of metal welded together, and a hinge joining a CD case cover to its backing (the last would be an instance of the more specialized collection <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwLMfNZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Joint_Physical</a>). While each <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rv48it5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Connection_Physical</a> is an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjElJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SolidTangibleThing</a>, and therefore has a determinate spatial boundary, there are many cases in which there are no easily describable boundaries between the parts of connected objects that are parts of the connection, and those which are not. For example, consider a connection between a table and one of its legs. If the leg is merely glued to the bottom surface of the table top, the exact spatial boundaries of the connection bewteen the parts is not clear. In contrast, the connection between a sewing needle and a thread attached by a knot to its eye is more clearly defined, because the boundaries of their connected parts are more easily determined. The group consisting of the knot and the eye of the needle determine the spatial extent of the connection. group of items connected physically <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvcbbL5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">InternalAnatomicalPart</a> is a specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwQBXZpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">OrganismPart</a>.

Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVi4CpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ComplexNumber</a> can be thought of as a vector of two numbers, which are usually called the "real part" and the "imaginary part" of the complex number. Every complex number can be represented as a + ib where i is the square root of negative one (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvx4CzZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">I_TheNumber</a>), and a and b are reals (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViAmJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">RealNumber</a>). When b=0, the complex number has no imaginary part, and therefore is a real number. When b is not zero the complex number has an imginary part and so it is an imaginary number (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwL5mhJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ImaginaryNumber</a>). Complex numbers may also be considered as corresponding to points in the real plane, where the x axis determines the real component of a complex number and the y axis the imaginary component. The unit value on the real number line is 1, the unit value on the imaginary number line is the square root of -1, generally written 'i' in mathematics and 'j' in engineering.

Assignments come in a wide variety of flavors. The work/action assigned might or might not be part of the assignees' job. The assignment might be formal or casual, explicit or tacit. An assignment might take seconds to complete or decades to complete. A given assignment might be one-off or recurring. An assignment given to multiple agents might or might not require more-or-less the same thing of each agent, and it might require them to work independently or in concert. One can take an assignment "upon oneself", which means (in effect) assigning it to oneself.

Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rEcc7oj2DEdmfWQACs1uxFw" class="cyc_term">ArgQuotedIsaTernaryPredicate</a>. is a ternary predicate used to place an "quoted isa" constraint on (and thereby specify an argument-type for) one or more argument-places of a relation. To be more precise, each instance PRED of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rEcc7oj2DEdmfWQACs1uxFw" class="cyc_term">ArgQuotedIsaTernaryPredicate</a> takes a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViAzZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Relation</a> RELN as its first argument, a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVi_aZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">NonNegativeInteger</a> N as its second argument, and a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4raOoTci9qEdma4AACs1uxFw" class="cyc_term">SubLExpressionType</a> collection COL as its third argument.

High explosives decompose almost instantaneously (i.e., at rate of over 1000 meters per second), either in a manner similar to a rapid combustion or with rupture and rearrangement of the molecules that comprise the explosive. High explosives are conventionally subdivided into two categories that are differentiated by sensitivity: primary explosives, which are extremely sensitive to shock, friction, and heat (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4r6sJBbpCiQdebmr6GnOA8tQ" class="cyc_term">PrimaryDetonatorExplosiveType</a>); secondary explosives, which are relatively insensitive to shock, friction, and heat (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rdLwiTpCkQdeFYOwqch-Mzw" class="cyc_term">SecondaryDetonatorExplosiveType</a>).

This is the collection of predicates that are used to make statements that imply the current temporal existence of any of their arguments that happen to be temporal things. More precisely, a predicate <code>PRED</code> is an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVmBt5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CotemporalPredicate</a> if and only if the following two conditions hold. (i) If a sentence of the form <code>(PRED ARG1 ... ARGN)</code> is true at a given time <code>T</code>, then any <code>ARGi</code> (<code>1<=i<=N</code>) that is a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViAxJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TemporalThing</a> temporally-subsumes <code>T</code> (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViAGZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">temporallySubsumes</a>). (ii) <code>PRED</code> holds of at least one sequence of arguments that includes at least one instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViAxJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TemporalThing</a>. (Condition (ii) above prevents predicates that never hold of temporal things from trivially qualifying as <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVmBt5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CotemporalPredicate</a>s. Its practical import is that at least one of <code>PRED</code>'s argument-places must not be type-constrained (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvuItPZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">argIsa</a>) to any collection that is <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViA45wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">disjointWith</a> <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViAxJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TemporalThing</a>.) For example, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjXU5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">owns</a> is a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVmBt5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CotemporalPredicate</a>. So the sentence <code>(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjXU5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">owns</a> Nick Spot)</code> with time-index (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rTPzcmKZtEdaAAACgycbRfg" class="cyc_term">mtTimeIndex</a>) <code>(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjympwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">YearFn</a> 1992)</code> implies (given that Nick and Spot are temporal things) that Nick and Spot were alive throughout 1992. In contrast, the predicate <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjQQ5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">awareOf</a> is not a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVmBt5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CotemporalPredicate</a>.
