Negative examples include <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjpUZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SpatialThing</a> (though arguably it is necessary that all of its instances are essentially instances of it, it is not disjoint with <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViAxJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TemporalThing</a>) and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwP4FM5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">UniqueAnatomicalPartType</a> (which, though disjoint with <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViAxJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TemporalThing</a>, has instances, such as <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjvDpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Heart</a>, that could exist even if they weren't instances of it; e.g. it might have been the case that every creature with a heart had at least two hearts). There are no known examples of Cyc-reified collections satisfying conditions (1) and (2) but not (3), but one can be contrived. Suppose that all of today's winning lottery numbers were primes.

But this last fact is not necessarily true of this collection: the collection might have had instances that belonged to it only contingently (i.e. not essentially), as it might have been the case that one of today's winning lottery numbers was non-prime, and no number is such that it is essentially one of today's winning lottery numbers. When asserting that something is an instance or specialization of a given instance of ANECT, it is appropriate to do so in the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4r3_SgQU2iEdaCwAACs0x8nw" class="cyc_term">UniversalVocabularyMt</a> (q.v.).

Typically, a non-numeric quantity is specified in a way that compares it to certain other non-numeric quantities of the same general type. For example, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwPuojpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">BreadboxSized</a> is a non-numeric <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVju5JwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Volume</a> that is less than (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViSr5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">followingValue</a>) the volume <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjzAJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">HumanSized</a>. Note that no <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjarZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MathematicalFunctionOnScalars</a> (e.g. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViArpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PlusFn</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4r87r3lr_7QdiBR_xTRXEEBw" class="cyc_term">ScalarExponentFn</a>) is defined (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvm2YOJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">undefined</a>) on any non-numeric scalar quantity. An important specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rkmGj_Bv1EdaAAACgyZzFrg" class="cyc_term">NonNumericScalarQuantity</a> is <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViZjpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">GenericQuantity</a>. For predicates that relate things to non-numeric quantities that characterize them, see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rGwNl-MFvQdiPHKVk-aZIEw" class="cyc_term">NonNumericQuantitySlot</a>. NonNumericScalarQuantity non numeric scalar quantity A <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4ret7qgOKgEdmAAAACs6hfSg" class="cyc_term">ConceptTypeByDomain</a> (q.v.). Instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rC-8cJgBpEdqAAAACs0uFOQ" class="cyc_term">UnitOfMeasureConcept</a> are collections and relations having to do with unit of measurement functions and the kinds of quantities they return as values. Important specializations and instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViAqpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">UnitOfMeasure</a>, major specializations or <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViAp5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ScalarInterval</a>, and relations that are important to measurement theory are instances of this collection.
