Conversely, some collections are non-empty in some contexts and empty in others; e.g. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwQBg3ZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Horse</a> is non-empty in the context of the present-day actual world but empty in certain counterfactual contexts in which horses never existed.
