God the father God deity The class of supernatural beings generally supposed to be (a) all-powerful (or more powerful than other classes of divinities within the same religious/folkloric tradition), and (b) immortal (or nearly so, for all practical purposes). <code>(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rZOAVeiYGEdqAAAACs2IMmw" class="cyc_term">broaderTerm</a> TERM1 TERM2)</code> means that <code>TERM2</code> is broader than <code>TERM1</code>, in an extremely general sense of "broader". For example, <code>TERM2</code> is, in the relevant sense, broader than <code>TERM1</code> if any of the following hold: <code>TERM2</code> is a collection that subsumes <code>TERM1</code>; <code>TERM2</code> is a collection that has <code>TERM1</code> as an instance; <code>TERM2</code> is a collection, instances of which have instances of the collection <code>TERM1</code> as parts; <code>TERM2</code> has <code>TERM1</code> as a part; This list of reasons for why <code>(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rZOAVeiYGEdqAAAACs2IMmw" class="cyc_term">broaderTerm</a> TERM1 TERM2)</code> could hold is not exhaustive, but it should give a good indication of how general the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rZOAVeiYGEdqAAAACs2IMmw" class="cyc_term">broaderTerm</a> relation actually is.

God the father ChristianTrinity The holy trinity in Christian theology. This is a very vexing concept, and any representation is likely to incur the wrath of some group of zealots and be considered heretical. In this representation I assume a heretical partonomic structure from the outset, and establish the trinity as a group of three divine beings, namely: <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rv4zfBJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">GodTheFather</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwB3Uv5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">GodTheSon</a>, and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvjkC0ZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">GodTheHolyGhost</a>. Note that much theological thought on the subject claims that the trinity is not a part-whole structure -- each member is simultaneously a member of, and identical to, the trinity as a whole. I'm not convinced that Cyc (currently) needs a more complex definition than the one offered here for common-sense reasoning in a general (i.e., non-expert) fashion. Christian Trinity
