Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rfl6BrMJ1EdmAAACQJw5drg" class="cyc_term">BreakingABone</a> is an event in which a bone that is part of a living animal is broken. fracturing BreakingABone reducing something to a powder ReducingToPowder This is the collection of events in which some <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVj27ZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PartiallyTangible</a> thing, things, or stuff, is reduced to a powder in some manner. Often this is accomplished by grinding, but any method of ending up with a powder is an instance of this collection. It is required that the stuff so reduced wasn't a powder before the reduction, i.e., grindings of a powder so as to make it a finer powder aren't in this collection.

In each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVilD5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SeparationEvent</a>, an object is cut, scraped, broken, cracked or pulverized, so that part of the object is no longer attached where it once was. Note that the part need not be completely separated from the object; it may still be attached in places. See the specialization <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVikjpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Separation_Complete</a> for the case of complete separation. separating first-order collection An instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvtppU5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CollectionType</a>, and a specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rNooX_CChEdaAAABQ2rksLw" class="cyc_term">FixedOrderCollection</a>. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rHIBS0h_TEdaAAABQ2rksLw" class="cyc_term">FirstOrderCollection</a> is the collection of all specializations of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjaApwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Individual</a> (q.v.)
