Important specializations of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/GeographicalAgent" class="cyc_term">GeographicalAgent</a> include <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/GeopoliticalEntity" class="cyc_term">GeopoliticalEntity</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/University" class="cyc_term">University</a>, and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Neighborhood" class="cyc_term">Neighborhood</a>. Note that instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/GeographicalAgent" class="cyc_term">GeographicalAgent</a> are viewed in two significantly different ways with respect to two different types of geography-related microtheories. In a "physical" geography microtheory (i.e. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/PhysicalGeographyMt" class="cyc_term">PhysicalGeographyMt</a> and its submicrotheories), geographical agents are clearly distinguished from the regions they occupy. (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/TerritoryFn" class="cyc_term">TerritoryFn</a> GEO-AGENT) is used in these contexts to denote the land mass (an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/GeographicalRegion" class="cyc_term">GeographicalRegion</a>) occupied by a given geographical agent GEO-AGENT. In a "dualist" geography microtheory (i.e. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/DualistGeopoliticalMt" class="cyc_term">DualistGeopoliticalMt</a> and its submicrotheories), on the other hand, geographical agents are viewed as being both agents and land masses (instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/GeographicalRegion" class="cyc_term">GeographicalRegion</a>). Thus, there is little need for <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/TerritoryFn" class="cyc_term">TerritoryFn</a> in the latter sort of context. (Despite their somewhat paradoxical flavor, dualist microtheories arguably allow Cyc to mimic commonsense reasoning about geographical agents and regions more closely than do the stricter physical microtheories.) There are also some "generic" geography microtheories (e.g. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/WorldGeographyMt" class="cyc_term">WorldGeographyMt</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/UnitedStatesGeographyMt" class="cyc_term">UnitedStatesGeographyMt</a>) which are neutral with respect to the physical and dualist views.

Society society <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Society" class="cyc_term">Society</a> is not the thing debutantes are introduced to at coming out parties ("high society") but rather what is referred to by the term "society" in expressions such as "the effect of violent movies on society". The English term is often used as an implicit indexical. Note that <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Society" class="cyc_term">Society</a> is quite different from <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/SocialOrganization" class="cyc_term">SocialOrganization</a>.

Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/SocialBeing" class="cyc_term">SocialBeing</a> is an intelligent agent whose status as an agent is acknowledged within some social system, and who is capable of playing certain social roles within that system. Note that in many (but not all) cases, a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/SocialBeing" class="cyc_term">SocialBeing</a> will have certain rights and responsibilities associated with his/her/its status within the relevant social system. For agents who are granted rights and responsibilities under some legal system, see the specialization <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/LegalAgent" class="cyc_term">LegalAgent</a>. Other notable specializations of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/SocialBeing" class="cyc_term">SocialBeing</a> are <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Person" class="cyc_term">Person</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Organization" class="cyc_term">Organization</a>. social being The members of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ThePublic" class="cyc_term">ThePublic</a> are ordinary people. Precisely which people comprise <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ThePublic" class="cyc_term">ThePublic</a> depends on context. E.g. in a context about the USA, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ThePublic" class="cyc_term">ThePublic</a> would probably denote people residing in the USA.

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>).

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".

Instances include people (who have bodies and minds), information bearing objects (which consist of intangible information encoded in a tangible object, such as the music on a CD or the text in a book), and many other things. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/CompositeTangibleAndIntangibleObject" class="cyc_term">CompositeTangibleAndIntangibleObject</a>, being partially tangible, exists in time (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/TemporalThing" class="cyc_term">TemporalThing</a>). Although occasionally it can be useful to reify separately the tangible and intangible components of a composite object (e.g. to state certain things about Lenin's body as opposed to his mind), in most cases it is sufficient simply to reify the composite. composite tangible and intangible thing 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.
