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. BT broaderTerm A collection of electronic devices which are also household appliances. An instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViJ1pwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ElectronicHouseholdAppliance</a> is a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViJk5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">HouseholdAppliance</a> which is electrically powered and controlled. Common instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViJ1pwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ElectronicHouseholdAppliance</a> belong to the subsets <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViT6pwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">HomeVideoGameMachine</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjIZpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TelevisionSet</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjLQZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">AnsweringMachine</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjTBZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Telephone</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVie0JwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">LaserDiscPlayer</a>, etc. household electronic device ElectronicHouseholdAppliance record player RecordPlayer A device used to play phonograph records ManufacturedGoods product The collection of all <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVkH_ZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Artifact</a>s that are made or processed in large-scale industrial operations for distribution (normally sale) to agents outside the manufacturing organization. This includes manufactured stuff, e.g. Finlandia vodka; refined ore, e.g. iron; otherwise procesed natural material, e.g. cut diamonds, as well as manufactured objects. This collection excludes handicrafts; privately made stuff, e.g. moonshine; and other artifacts produced by one or a few people on a small scale. MediaPlayingDevice The collection of all media players. A type of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4r4rDPYCs8EdiUgAAH6RYvSQ" class="cyc_term">ConsumerElectronics</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjVgZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MechanicalDevice</a>, and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViQlZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ElectronicDevice</a>. The collection <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rv_FIS5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MediaPlayingDevice</a> is an <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rejmDbrF_QdeIENT1qpbYzQ" class="cyc_term">ArtifactTypeByGenericCategory</a> and a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rpPHhAOB1EdqAAAACs6hRXg" class="cyc_term">SpatiallyDisjointObjectType</a>. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rv_FIS5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MediaPlayingDevice</a> is a device that was designed to play media such as a DVD, photo slide, or digital audio file. player product type The collection of all types of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVj27ZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PartiallyTangible</a> things that are usually/frequently commercially manufactured. This is context dependent. ManufacturedGoodsType stereo component AudioEquipment A collection of electronic devices. An instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwP1Qf5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">AudioEquipment</a> is a device that may be used in audio recording, playback, amplification, and/or reception. This collection doesn't include musical instruments. It does include both self-contained systems, e.g. boom boxes, and individual stereo components, such as microphones, amplifiers, etc. 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 A collection of collections and a specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVirnZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ObjectType</a> (q.v.). Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rpPHhAOB1EdqAAAACs6hRXg" class="cyc_term">SpatiallyDisjointObjectType</a> is a collection C of spatial things (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjpUZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SpatialThing</a>), where each of the spatial things in C is spatially disjoint with the other spatial things in C. For example, the collection <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjaoJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Dog</a> is an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rpPHhAOB1EdqAAAACs6hRXg" class="cyc_term">SpatiallyDisjointObjectType</a>, since dogs do not spatially overlap. Even pregnant dogs do not spatially overlap the pups they bear; rather, pregnant dogs contain their unborn pups. Other instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rpPHhAOB1EdqAAAACs6hRXg" class="cyc_term">SpatiallyDisjointObjectType</a> include <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwVGrQ5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">LatitudeLine</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvW4n1pwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CompactDisc_Audio</a>, and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwR7UWZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PlanetaryBody</a>. An important specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rpPHhAOB1EdqAAAACs6hRXg" class="cyc_term">SpatiallyDisjointObjectType</a> is <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjlE5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SpatiallyDisjointRegionType</a> (a collection of specializations of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViACZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">GeographicalRegion</a>, such as <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjnZ5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">City</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwT-n15wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TrueContinent</a>). spatially disjoint object type SpatiallyDisjointObjectType record player RecordPlayer A device used to play phonograph records record player RecordPlayer A device used to play phonograph records empty collection A collection of collections and a specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rv1ZxY5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">EmptySetOrCollection</a> (q.v.). A collection is an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rDKZQEKVnQdmACrINeAfsGw" class="cyc_term">EmptyCollection</a> if and only if it has no instances. Some collections are by their very nature necessarily empty; e.g. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rv7LKYpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Nothing</a> (q.v.). Conversely, some collections are empty in some contexts and non-empty in others; e.g. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvhn_I5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Unicorn</a> might be empty in the context of the actual world but non-empty in certain mythological contexts. Similarly, a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwIE23ZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TimeDependentCollection</a> might be empty at certain times and non-empty at certain other times; e.g. the collection of female US presidents is currently empty but will hopefully become non-empty some time in the near future. This last example demonstrates that <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rDKZQEKVnQdmACrINeAfsGw" class="cyc_term">EmptyCollection</a> is itself a time-dependent collection. Note that each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rDKZQEKVnQdmACrINeAfsGw" class="cyc_term">EmptyCollection</a> is <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViA45wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">disjointWith</a> (q.v.) every collection -- including itself. Cf. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4r_3mf2qedQdmNjeDW39lDKA" class="cyc_term">NonEmptyCollection</a>. EmptyCollection A collection of collections; a subcollection of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4roOCJgqgyQdePhq6ip3adDw" class="cyc_term">ArtifactTypeByFunction</a>. Instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvh8SuLPZQdeVlt8feflcZg" class="cyc_term">DeviceTypeByFunction</a> are mutually unique with respect to the full set of primary functions that their instances perform. Examples include <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVicOZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CookingRange</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjiNJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Freezer</a>. Counter-examples include <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVihVZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ElectricCookingRange</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvhtJZpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Freezer_Upright</a>. There may be cases where two instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvh8SuLPZQdeVlt8feflcZg" class="cyc_term">DeviceTypeByFunction</a> (PROD1 and PROD2) are related by (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViBDpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">genls</a> PROD1 PROD2); but this will only happen in cases where instances of PROD1 have some additional primary function(s) to those of PROD2. For example, the collections <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvyCS5ZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Radio</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rv_PB35wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ClockRadio</a> are both instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvh8SuLPZQdeVlt8feflcZg" class="cyc_term">DeviceTypeByFunction</a>, and (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViBDpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">genls</a> <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rv_PB35wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ClockRadio</a> <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvyCS5ZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Radio</a>) is true. device type by function DeviceTypeByFunction
