Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVik_JwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">VisualCommunicating</a> is an action in which information is transmitted by visual media. Every instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVik_JwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">VisualCommunicating</a> has at least one <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjvZpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">communicationToken</a> (q.v.) which is an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjPtpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">VisualInformationBearingThing</a>. Examples of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVik_JwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">VisualCommunicating</a> include: a performance by mime Marcel Marceau; Seiji Ozawa conducting the Boston Symphony Orchestra; a policeman directing traffic; shaking a fist at someone in anger; sending a message with flags, light pulses, or smoke signals. VisualCommunicating MusicalConducting A <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjXipwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MusicalConductor</a> conducts a group of musicians. conducting MusicalConducting A <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjXipwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MusicalConductor</a> conducts a group of musicians. conducting 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 type of cumulative event A collection of collections. Each instance of an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rv9vChJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CumulativeEventType</a> is an event. Moreover, each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rv9vChJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CumulativeEventType</a> is a collection with the following property of 'cumulativity': if PROCESS-COL is an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rv9vChJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CumulativeEventType</a>, and PROCESS-1 and PROCESS-2 are instances of PROCESS-COL, then the minimal event containing PROCESS-1 and PROCESS-2 (that is, (<font color="#ff0000">#$EventSumFn</font> PROCESS-1 PROCESS-2)) is also an instance of PROCESS-COL. CumulativeEventType learned activity LearnedActivityType This is the collection of activities which must first be learned before they can be performed--i.e., before any role which is a specPred of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwP1HmJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">doneBy</a> can be played. performing art The collection of activities that <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjjEJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Artist_Performer</a>s do. Its subsets include things like <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rinJNPlxsEdqAAAACs71DGQ" class="cyc_term">Singing</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViGcZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Dancing_Human</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwEAJu5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">DramaticActing</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjUJ5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PlayingAMusicalInstrument</a>, etc. What is being captured in this collection are the actions that <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjjEJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Artist_Performer</a>s do, both in preparation for and during a performance.
