Positive examples of ANECTs include <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViAzJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Collection</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVieEpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Integer</a>, and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViAzZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Relation</a> (each of which is a collection of atemporals and is such that, necessarily, all of its instances are in it essentially). 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. Now consider the collection: (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvrhK-JwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CollectionUnionFn</a> (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjkdpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TheSet</a> <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjrdZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PrimeNumber</a> TodaysWinningLotteryNumbers)) This collection is clearly disjoint with <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViAxJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TemporalThing</a> and, by hypothesis, all of its instances are in it essentially (as each prime number is essentially a prime number). 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.).

In CycL, particular measurable quantities are usually represented as the result of applying a unit-of-measure function to a real number or pair of reals. For example, (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjRp5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Meter</a> 5) is the distance 5 meters.

RealNumber real number DegreeOfDamage degree of damage A collection of attributes which are scalar indices of damage done in a particular kind of context. This is a useful collection to have, since it is common to see damage represented on a numeric scale in situations where the kind, source, and subject of the damage of the damage is already known. For a measurable negative quantity, the ordered sequence of possible values may be thought of as a line. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvbempJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">NegativeScalarInterval</a>s are the line segments (or points) on such a line, representing a range of consecutive values, all less than 0.

In the SubL language (as in English), one can refer to a particular character-string by simply putting a pair of quotation marks around it. Semantically, what this amounts to is using a certain character-string to denote itself. More precisely: a given <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViAPJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SubLString</a> STRING is a character-string such that, when it appears inside a pair of double-quotation marks, STRING is interpreted as denoting itself (i.e. STRING). The surrounding quotation-marks are not considered to be parts of STRING; rather, they are syncategorematic symbols whose role is merely to indicate that a string is being referred to. Thus, in the context of the sentence '(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjG-pwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">firstName</a> <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViAUpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Lenat</a> "Doug")', the four-character string 'Doug' denotes itself: the string `Doug'. Note that not every <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvWEA25wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CharacterString</a> is a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViAPJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SubLString</a>: there are some restrictions on what characters a SubL-string can contain. Note also that <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViAPJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SubLString</a>s are atomic terms (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rv_JxFZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SubLAtomicTerm</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvh14yJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CycLAtomicTerm</a>), as they cannot be constructed out of other SubL (or CycL) terms via the syntax (grammar) of SubL (or CycL). Thus although the string 'hotdog' can indeed be obtained from 'hot' and 'dog' via concatenation (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvZdQf5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ConcatenateStringsFn</a>), the syntax of SubL (or CycL) itself contains no rule that licenses such a construction (see e.g. the comments on <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rv6aZ4JwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SubLSExpression</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvpDCHZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CycLExpression</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwQf_-5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CycLTerm</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwD7DupwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CycLFormula</a>, and various subcollections thereof). Note finally that <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViAPJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SubLString</a> is a "quoted-collection" (see #$quotedCollection). Thus the sentence '(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViBBJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">isa</a> "hotdog" <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViAPJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SubLString</a>)' means, just as one would expect, that the six-character string 'hotdog' (not the eight-character quote-inclusive '"hotdog"'; see above) is an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViAPJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SubLString</a>.

This is the collection of all and only the closed atomic CycL sentences that have been asserted to the Knowledge Base or deduced there by the inference engine. GAF assertions typically express particular facts (as opposed to general rules) about the world. The acronym `GAF' stands for "ground atomic formula"; see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvcyGiZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CycLClosedAtomicSentence</a>. At the epistemological level (see #$ELExpression), a GAF assertion contains no free variables and is thus (at least) "ground". At the heuristic level (see #$HLExpression), however, the #$HLAssertion(s) representing the GAF assertion -- the sentence(s) that are actually stored in the KB -- contain no variables whatsoever and are thus "_fully_ ground" (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvhJLfpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CycLFullyGroundAtomicSentence</a>).

A de re attitude predicate is a relation that (loosely stated) holds among an agent, a specified thing, and a property, such that the agent bears a certain de re propositional attitude (e.g. de re belief, de re doubt, de re knowledge) regarding that object's having that property. More precisely, each instance <code>DE-RE-PRED</code> of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rW8SyLOL0QdeYF7NP2isKhg" class="cyc_term">DeReAttitudePredicate</a> is a ternary predicate that takes as arguments an <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVinb5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">IntelligentAgent</a>, a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwFp8RpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CycLPropositionalSentence</a> (that is also an <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwRZBCJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CycLSentence_Assertible</a>), and an integer; and <code>(DE-RE-PRED AGENT SENT N)</code> means that <code>AGENT</code> has a certain de re attitude to the thing <code>OBJ</code> denoted by the <code>N</code>th-place constituent of <code>SENT</code>, with respect to <code>OBJ</code>'s (the thing itself, regardless of what expression is used to denote it) having the property that the proposition expresssed by <code>SENT</code> attributes to it. For example, <pre> (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rPR7v8NjQQdeYk7rNTb4mtw" class="cyc_term">believesOfArg</a> #$Meyer (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViBBJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">isa</a> #$Patches-Cat <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVkEc5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TabbyCat</a>) 2) </pre> means that Meyer believes of Patches that he is a tabby cat. A defining feature of de re attitude predicates is that they allow substitutions of coreferring terms in the specified (i.e. <code>N</code>th) position within the predicate's own second argument (i.e. <code>SENT</code>).

Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjYxpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">IllocutionaryForce</a> is a specialized component of a communication; its function is to indicate how the speaker in a communication wants the agent(s) whom s/he is addressing to understand, and respond to, the situation--i.e., the state of affairs--described in that communication. Isolating the `illocutionary force' of a communication allows us to characterize the intention of a speaker; e.g., whether s/he means to assert that the described state of affairs in fact holds; or to express a desire that such a state of affairs hold; or to command someone to make that state of affairs hold; or to offer to make the state of affairs hold. S/he may even intend to make something true by stating it (e.g., ``I name this ship `The Intrepid'.''). Usually, apprehending a speaker's intention is important for understanding what s/he means and what s/he intends the hearer to do. Although the content of an illocutionary act can be represented propositionally, they are not generally communicated so explicitly. For example, questions in English are typically communicated by inverting subject-object word order and raising one's intonation at the end of the utterance. (The intonation marker so strongly indicates a question that it may suffice without the inverted word order, as in `You are going tonight' uttered with a rising intonation.) Commands in English typically have an (unexpressed) understood subject and perhaps a forceful tone.

Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwJYN4pwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ScopingRelation</a> takes as its arguments (at least) a variable or list of variables (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rv3gAv5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CycLVariable</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rM5IgcjJ0EdmC5AACs1uxFw" class="cyc_term">CycLVariableList</a>) and a formula (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwJHhhJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CycLExpression_Assertible</a>). The former argument is the scoping relation's "scoping" argument (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwD0ZEJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">scopingArg</a>), and the latter its "scoped formula" argument (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rLyNqnmDTQdiXXogBhstVpA" class="cyc_term">scopedFormulaArg</a>). Syntactically, the formula (SCOPINGRELN VAR SENT) might either be a sentence or a non-atomic term (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvx-VHZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CycLNonAtomicTerm</a>), depending on which <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwJYN4pwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ScopingRelation</a> it is built from. Suppose for simplicity that the sentence SENT itself contains no <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwJYN4pwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ScopingRelation</a> expressions, so that any variables occurring in SENT are not bound (i.e. they are _free_). Then, in the formula (SCOPINGRELN VAR SENT), the _scope_ of the occurrence of the term SCOPINGRELN is SENT, and any free occurrence of the variable VAR in SENT is said to be _bound_ by that occurrence of SCOPINGRELN, and thus is bound (and hence not free) with respect to the entire formula. (The occurrence of VAR immediately to the right of SCOPINGRELN is also considered bound with respect to the entire formula.) Semantically, if the formula (SCOPINGRELN VAR SENT) is _closed_ (i.e. if it contains no free occurrence of any variable), then it will in some sense be "about" the value(s) of VAR that satisfy SENT. That is, if (SCOPINGRELN VAR SENT) is a closed sentence it will state something about those values, while if (SCOPINGRELN VAR SENT) is a closed NAT it will (purport to) denote something related to those values. For an example of the former case see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViA9pwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">thereExists</a>; for the latter case see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjX9pwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TheSetOf</a>. (If there are no free occurrences of VAR inside SENT, then (SCOPINGRELN VAR SENT) is a "vacuous" application of SCOPINGRELN that means exactly what SENT means.)

Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rv7Dj8JwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">EvaluatableRelation</a> is a function or predicate for which there is some piece of system code that can be invoked to evaluate (i.e. to determine the denotation or truth-value of) a closed expression built from that function or predicate (i.e. a closed expression that has the constant that denotes that function or predicate in its initial or "0th" argument-place). An evaluation of this sort is carried out, for example, when the system is queried using an <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwDr6bZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">evaluate</a> (q.v.) sentence. As one might expect, most evaluatable relations are mathematical or syntactic in nature; for numbers, sets, lists, and strings are the sorts of things that are related in various ways that can be calculated algorithmically. Examples include <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/Mx4rvViAspwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">greaterThan</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rv6fxWJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">JoinListsFn</a>, and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwGM3opwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">substring</a>. In the case of a function that is evaluatable (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViCm5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">EvaluatableFunction</a>), the practical result of evaluating the relevant expression is another _term_ -- one that has the same denotatum as the original expression, but that is syntactically simpler and constitutes a more straightforward way of referring to that denotatum. For example, the term `(<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/Mx4rvVihIJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Inch</a> 3) (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVihIJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Inch</a> 1))', when evaluated, results in the term `(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVihIJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Inch</a> 4)'. So if a query using the open sentence `(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwDr6bZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">evaluate</a> ?X (<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/Mx4rvVihIJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Inch</a> 3) (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVihIJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Inch</a> 1)))' is asked, the answer (or "binding" for the variable `?X') returned will be the term `(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVihIJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Inch</a> 4)'. Evaluating a sentence built from (a constant that denotes) an <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rv0_zG5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">EvaluatablePredicate</a>, on the other hand, yields a _truth-value_. For example, the sentence `(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViAspwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">greaterThan</a> (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVihIJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Inch</a> 3) (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVihIJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Inch</a> 1))' evaluates to (and so if used to ask a query will return the answer) `<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViA2ZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">True</a>'.

NetworkTraffic network traffic <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwSvdM5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">NetworkTraffic</a> is the collection of measures of how much traffic individual networks are experiencing. This can include any kind of network; specs of this collection will refer to particular kinds of networks (e.g. computer network, phone network, communications network, network of safehouses) where the traffic is understood as being whatever moves through the network. Note that traffic is not cumulative in the following sense: the fact that one network has high traffic does not mean that any larger networks of which it is part do. AwarenessQuantity The collection of degrees of awareness that describe the ways in which an agent is aware of some object. awareness quantity mission type by status A collection of collections. Each instance of this collection is a collection of missions that have a particular status. For example, MissionInPlanning-Status is the collection of missions that are still in the planning stages. MissionTypeByStatus CycL assertion direction The collection of possible inference "directions" that a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvV281JwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CycLAssertion</a> can have. A given CycL assertion's direction (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViBBpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">assertionDirection</a>) indicates something about how and when the assertion can be used in inferences by the Cyc system. More precisely: <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvWdCeJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Backward_AssertionDirection</a> indicates that the assertion can only be used in inferences carried out when a query is asked; <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvWgUY5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Forward_AssertionDirection</a> indicates that the assertion can be used in inferences carried out at the time the assertion is added to the Knowledge Base as well as those carried out at ask-time; and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rv-nyLZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Code_AssertionDirection</a> indicates that the assertion itself cannot be used in either backward (ask-time) or forward (assert-time) inferences, but is instead implemented in the underlying code of the Cyc system. Each CycL assertion has exactly one of the above three directions; the default direction is Forward for ground atomic assertions (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvcyGiZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CycLClosedAtomicSentence</a>) and Backward for rule assertions. Note that a CycL sentence is given a direction at the time of its assertion to the system, and this fact _need_not_ be reflected in another, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViBBpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">assertionDirection</a> assertion's being added to the system (as that would of course lead to an infinite regress).

An instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvl2en5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Set_Mathematical</a> can be any arbitrary set of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViA9JwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Thing</a>s. A good way to explain this notion with respect to the Cyc ontology is to contrast <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvl2en5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Set_Mathematical</a> with <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViAzJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Collection</a> (q.v.). First, while the instances of a given collection all have some more-or-less significant (often "natural") property or properties in common, the elements (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwGWaK5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">elementOf</a>) in a given set might have nothing in common (besides membership in that set). Second, while it is in principle possible for two distinct collections to have exactly the same elements (with respect to a given context), this cannot happen in the case of sets, which are individuated strictly in terms of their extensions (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwN2YGZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">extent</a>). Third (and specifically regarding their expression in the CycL language), unlike with collections, rarely will it be desirable to create a new constant to denote a particular set. Instead, a set will often be either (a) intensionally specified by a defining property via <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjX9pwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TheSetOf</a> (q.v.), as in `(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjX9pwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TheSetOf</a> ?X (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViA-ZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">and</a> (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViBBJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">isa</a> ?X <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVieEpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Integer</a>) (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViAspwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">greaterThan</a> ?X 42)))', or (b) extensionally specified by enumerating its elements via <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjkdpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TheSet</a> (q.v.), as in `(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjkdpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TheSet</a> 3 4 5)'; see also <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvcUeB5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ThePartition</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwMTOWpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TheCovering</a>.

(It is this shared feature of having elements that provides the basic rationale for reifying the collection <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjl_ZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SetOrCollection</a>.) Nevertheless, sets and collections differ in two important ways. First, each collection is intrinsically associated with an intensional criterion for membership -- a more or less natural property (or group of properties) possessed by all of (and only) its elements. Collections are thus akin to kinds. In contrast, the elements of a set are not required to be homogeneous in any respect: any things whatsoever may together constitute the elements of a set. The second major difference between sets and collections is that no two distinct sets can be coextensional (i.e. have exactly the same elements; see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVkIOpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">coExtensional</a>). Sets can thus be identified purely on the basis of their extensions (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwN2YGZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">extent</a>). Collections, on the other hand, are individuated by their intensional criteria for membership. So collections that have exactly the same elements might nevertheless be distinct, differing in their respective membership criteria. (Note that the general relationship between collections and their "intensional criteria for membership" in the above sense is not something that is currently represented explicitly in the Knowledge Base (though this seems a worthwhile area for future work); still the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViBCZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">comment</a> and other "definitional" assertions on a given collection should ideally convey a reasonably clear and precise idea of its associated membership criterion.)
