Instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjOXpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MonthOfYearType</a> are the canonical subcollections of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjAKZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CalendarMonth</a>. There are twelve of these in the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVj-2JwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">JulianCalendar</a>; for example, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjBMZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">September</a> is the collection of all Septembers. month of the year NonAbducibleCollection The collection <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4roVp5xVzKEdiLrQAH6RYvVA" class="cyc_term">NonAbducibleCollection</a> is a sub-collection of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjl_ZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SetOrCollection</a>. Abductive inferences sometimes involve hypothesizing the existence of entities as part of the explanation of some assertion or set of assertions. Cyc will not hypothesize the existence of instances of the collections that are instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4roVp5xVzKEdiLrQAH6RYvVA" class="cyc_term">NonAbducibleCollection</a>. Roughly, abductive inferences consume conceptual / theoretical knowledge rather than produce it. So, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rHQdVmB_TEdaAAABQ2rksLw" class="cyc_term">SecondOrderCollection</a> is an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4roVp5xVzKEdiLrQAH6RYvVA" class="cyc_term">NonAbducibleCollection</a> because Cyc should be employing existing theoretical knowledge about instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rHQdVmB_TEdaAAABQ2rksLw" class="cyc_term">SecondOrderCollection</a> rather than hypothesizing new instances. non abducible collection JewishMonthType jewish month type JewishMonthType jewish month type CyclicalSuccessiveIntervalGroupType type of cyclical time interval A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvgER1JwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MutuallyDisjointIntervalCollectionType</a> (q.v.) and a collection of collections of collections of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViAw5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TimeInterval</a>s. Each instance CIGTYPE of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvgET9JwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CyclicalSuccessiveIntervalGroupType</a> is a collection of interval-types whose instances recur in a set pattern throughout all of calendar history. CIGTYPE must partition all of time: the instances of CIGTYPE must be mutually disjoint and, taken all together, _their_ instances must cover all time. For example, CIGTYPE could be the collection of the seven calendar days of the week (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjWeZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">DayOfWeekType</a>) or the collection of the twelve calendar months (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjOXpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MonthOfYearType</a>). &quot;Recurring in a set pattern&quot; means here that the instances of CIGTYPE can be put into an order INTTYPE(1), ..., INTTYPE(n) such that each instance of INTTYPE(i) (for 1 &lt;= i &lt; n) is immediately followed by (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVin4pwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">contiguousAfter</a>) an instance of INTTYPE(i+1), and each instance of INTTYPE(n) is immediately followed by an instance of INTTYPE(1). For example, if CIGTYPE is <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjWeZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">DayOfWeekType</a>, INTTYPE(1) might be <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjW85wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Monday</a> (the collection of all mondays), INTTYPE(2) <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjhY5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Tuesday</a>, and so on.
