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.

Each specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVkI75wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">EdibleStuff</a> is a type of partially tangible stuff which all normal instances of some specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjE1pwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Organism_Whole</a> can consume and successfully metabolize a significant portion of any instance of, with or without resulting harm to themselves. This collection includes virtually all animal and vegetable matter, as well as salts, potable water, and instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjDGJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">OralDrug</a>. It does not necessarily include things that are ingested but not metabolized, such as the stones that birds swallow to aid in digestion, or dirt, paint chips, and coins ingested by children. The function <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwJx-f5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">EdibleByFn</a> is used to specify the collections of edible stuff that are ingestible by all normal instances of certain specializations of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjE1pwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Organism_Whole</a>, including <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViAkpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Person</a>. Note that whether an edible substance also has a detrimental effect if eaten is a separate question. Something can be both edible and poisonous. tangible stuff type TangibleStuffCompositionType A collection of collections and a specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVny6pwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ExistingStuffType</a>. Instances are subcollections of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVj27ZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PartiallyTangible</a> whose membership is based only on the physical and/or chemical composition of their instances. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViGSpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TangibleStuffCompositionType</a> does not have as instances collections whose instances are determined _solely_ by the physical state they are in -- for that, see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvgDEAJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TangibleStuffStateType</a>. However, many substances that chemically break down before melting (e.g. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjc_ZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">FattyTissue</a>) _are_ included in this collection, even though they exist solely in one physical state. The collection <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjAHZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Water</a> is an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViGSpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TangibleStuffCompositionType</a>, as instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjAHZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Water</a> are all pieces of substance with the chemical composition H20. On the other hand , the collection of all pieces of ice (i.e. (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwPzX0JwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SolidFn</a> <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjAHZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Water</a>)) is not a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViGSpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TangibleStuffCompositionType</a>, because membership in that collection depends on the substance's composition _and_ on its physical state. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVikqZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TalcumPowder</a> is not an instance of this collection because a fused mass of the substance would no longer be powder, but would still be of the same <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViGSpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TangibleStuffCompositionType</a>. Further instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViGSpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TangibleStuffCompositionType</a> are <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVi30pwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Nylon</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjxdpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">GasolineFuel</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjc_ZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">FattyTissue</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVj8apwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Nitrogen</a>, and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViG-5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Glass</a>. An important specialization of this collection is <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjNlZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ChemicalSubstanceType</a> -- those substance types defined solely by their chemical formulae. VegetableMatter A specialization of both <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjVWpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">NaturalTangibleStuff</a> and #$OrganicStuff. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjEVZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">VegetableMatter</a> is a piece of stuff (solid, liquid, or, improbably but conceivably, gaseous) which is a piece of vegetable material. Important specializations of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjEVZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">VegetableMatter</a> include <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjG4ZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Plant</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViSPpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PlantProduct</a>. plant material type of food DefaultDisjointEdibleStuffType An instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViA4pwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SiblingDisjointCollectionType</a> (q.v.), and thus a collection of collections. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVi9A5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">DefaultDisjointEdibleStuffType</a> is a collection of beverages or foodstuffs (a specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVkI75wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">EdibleStuff</a>) that is by default disjoint with every other instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVi9A5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">DefaultDisjointEdibleStuffType</a>.

Pretty String (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwLSVCpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">prettyString</a> TERM STRING) means that STRING is the English word or expression (sequence of words) commonly used to refer to TERM. The predicate <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwLSVCpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">prettyString</a> is used by the code which generates CycL to English paraphrases, but its applicability is not restricted to this use. prettyString coconut endosperm CoconutEndosperm The endosperm of a coconut-The Seed - has a liquid part, which is an instance of coconut milk, and a solid part, which is an instance of coconut meat. CoconutMeat A portion of the white flesh inside coconuts; good to eat; the flesh in a single coconut forms part of its endosperm. coconut meat CoconutMeat A portion of the white flesh inside coconuts; good to eat; the flesh in a single coconut forms part of its endosperm. coconut meat
