Mx4rq_ytDHS6EdaAAACgyZzFrg AbleMinded able minded animal able minded animals able-minded more able-minded most able-minded BaggagePorter The collection of all porters, which are persons who are employed to carry baggage. A type of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/AbleMinded" class="cyc_term">AbleMinded</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/UnskilledWorker" class="cyc_term">UnskilledWorker</a>, and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/LowerMiddleClass" class="cyc_term">LowerMiddleClass</a>. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/BaggagePorter" class="cyc_term">BaggagePorter</a> is a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/PersonTypeByOccupation" class="cyc_term">PersonTypeByOccupation</a>. porter lifeguard Lifeguard People who monitor other people in swimming pools or at beaches. AnimalTypeByMentalState mental state attribute A collection of collections. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/AnimalTypeByMentalState" class="cyc_term">AnimalTypeByMentalState</a> is a subcollection of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/SentientAnimal" class="cyc_term">SentientAnimal</a> whose instances share a mental state. The collection of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/SentientAnimal" class="cyc_term">SentientAnimal</a>s able to function using all their mental capacities. AbleMinded able minded animal intelligent agent IntelligentAgent A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Agent_Generic" class="cyc_term">Agent_Generic</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/InformationStore" class="cyc_term">InformationStore</a> (qq.v.). An agent is an <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/IntelligentAgent" class="cyc_term">IntelligentAgent</a> if and only if it is capable of knowing and acting, and capable of employing its knowledge in its actions. An intelligent agent typically <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/knowsAbout" class="cyc_term">knowsAbout</a> certain things, and its <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/beliefs" class="cyc_term">beliefs</a> concerning those things influences its actions. As with agents generally, an intelligent agent might either be a single individual, such as a person, or a group consisting of two or more individual agents, such as a business or government organization. Specializations of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/IntelligentAgent" class="cyc_term">IntelligentAgent</a> include <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/SocialBeing" class="cyc_term">SocialBeing</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/MultiIndividualAgent_Intelligent" class="cyc_term">MultiIndividualAgent_Intelligent</a>. Note that non-human <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Vertebrate" class="cyc_term">Vertebrate</a>s that are sentient and somewhat intelligent, such as (arguably) cats and horses, can be considered intelligent agents in some contexts. A collection of collections. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ExistingObjectType" class="cyc_term">ExistingObjectType</a> is a specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/PartiallyTangible" class="cyc_term">PartiallyTangible</a> (q.v.). Moreover, each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ExistingObjectType" class="cyc_term">ExistingObjectType</a> is a collection that is temporally stuff-like (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/TemporalStuffType" class="cyc_term">TemporalStuffType</a>) but physically-spatially object-like (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ObjectType" class="cyc_term">ObjectType</a>) -- i.e. object-like with respect to some physical-spatial part-whole predicate (e.g. some specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/properPhysicalDecompositions" class="cyc_term">properPhysicalDecompositions</a>). Consider the collection <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/BookCopy" class="cyc_term">BookCopy</a>. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/BookCopy" class="cyc_term">BookCopy</a> is a specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/PartiallyTangible" class="cyc_term">PartiallyTangible</a>. Further, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/BookCopy" class="cyc_term">BookCopy</a> is temporally stuff-like: any one of the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/timeSlices" class="cyc_term">timeSlices</a> of a given copy <code>COPY</code> of (say) "Moby Dick" is still a copy of "Moby Dick". (Most collections of tangible objects are temporally stuff-like in this way.) But <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/BookCopy" class="cyc_term">BookCopy</a> is spatially object-like: if we take a scalpel and slice <code>COPY</code> into ten pieces, each piece is not a copy of "Moby Dick". So <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/BookCopy" class="cyc_term">BookCopy</a> is an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ExistingObjectType" class="cyc_term">ExistingObjectType</a>. See also <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/StuffType" class="cyc_term">StuffType</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ExistingStuffType" class="cyc_term">ExistingStuffType</a>. type of object ExistingObjectType The collection of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/SentientAnimal" class="cyc_term">SentientAnimal</a>s able to function using all their mental capacities. AbleMinded able minded animal The collection of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/SentientAnimal" class="cyc_term">SentientAnimal</a>s able to function using all their mental capacities. AbleMinded able minded animal A subset of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Animal" class="cyc_term">Animal</a>, the collection of all animals which have a mind and are capable of conscious thought, or at least are best treated as such if you have to deal with them. SentientAnimal sentient animal BT <code>(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/broaderTerm" class="cyc_term">broaderTerm</a> TERM1 TERM2)</code> means that <code>TERM2</code> is broader than <code>TERM1</code>, in an extremely general sense of "broader". 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/en/broaderTerm" 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/en/broaderTerm" class="cyc_term">broaderTerm</a> relation actually is. broaderTerm prettyString (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/prettyString" 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/en/prettyString" 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.
