A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/TimeDependentCollection" class="cyc_term">TimeDependentCollection</a> (q.v.). This is the collection of all and only those collections <code><b>COL</b></code> such that any thing's being an instance of <code><b>COL</b></code> depends on the current state of the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/CycKB" class="cyc_term">CycKB</a>. Such a <code><b>COL</b></code> corresponds to a property defined (at least partly) in terms of the contents, features, or implementation of the Cyc Knowledge Base itself, as opposed to a property that &quot;exists out there&quot; in the KB-independent world. <p/> For example, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/CycLAssertion" class="cyc_term">CycLAssertion</a> is a KB-dependent collection, membership in which requires of a given CycL sentence that it has in fact been asserted to the KB. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/CycLSentence" class="cyc_term">CycLSentence</a> is also KB-dependent, as being a CycL sentence requires being composed (ultimately) out of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/CycLReifiedDenotationalTerm" class="cyc_term">CycLReifiedDenotationalTerm</a>s (and perhaps variables) -- i.e. terms that are currently reified in the KB. Conversely, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Sentence" class="cyc_term">Sentence</a> is <i>not</i> a KB-dependent collection. <p/> See also <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/KBDependentRelation" class="cyc_term">KBDependentRelation</a>. KB dependent collection KBDependentCollection Mx4rtGXkHpNaEdqAAAACs0uFOQ Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/KBContentTestSpecificationType" class="cyc_term">KBContentTestSpecificationType</a> is a collection whose instances are individual KB content test definitions. Instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/KBContentTestSpecificationType" class="cyc_term">KBContentTestSpecificationType</a> represent categories of tests grouped together because they test similar functionality, and which might sensibly be run as a unit. KBContentTestSpecificationType type of specification for a CycL query and its expected results class of concepts belonging to a shared domain Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ConceptTypeByDomain" class="cyc_term">ConceptTypeByDomain</a> is a collection, all of whose elements can be considered concepts which belong to some domain of knowledge. For example, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/FamilyRelationsConcept" class="cyc_term">FamilyRelationsConcept</a> is the collection that includes predicates, such as <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/siblings" class="cyc_term">siblings</a> or <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/children" class="cyc_term">children</a>, collections, such as <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/FamilyCohabitationUnit" class="cyc_term">FamilyCohabitationUnit</a>, and potentially other concepts that are part of the domain of family relationships. It is important to note that instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ConceptTypeByDomain" class="cyc_term">ConceptTypeByDomain</a> are not quoted collections -- i.e., their elements are not the _terms_ used to represent the concepts, but instead are the concepts themselves.

An argument entry-format is a kind of restriction on a predicate regarding how many things, or the range of things, that the predicate holds of with respect to a given one of its argument-places. More precisely: given any particular way of fixing the arguments in the rest of the predicate's argument-places, the entry-format tells us something about the number of different things, or the range of things, that can occupy the given argument-place such that the relation holds of those arguments. That is, supposing the given argument-place is the Nth, the entry-format tells us something about the number or range of different sequences of arguments of which the predicate holds and that differ from each other only in their Nth items. Two important specializations of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ArgFormatPredicate" class="cyc_term">ArgFormatPredicate</a> are <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/SpecificEntryFormatPredicate" class="cyc_term">SpecificEntryFormatPredicate</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/GeneralEntryFormatPredicate" class="cyc_term">GeneralEntryFormatPredicate</a> (qq.v.). Instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/SpecificEntryFormatPredicate" class="cyc_term">SpecificEntryFormatPredicate</a> each have to do with a specific format (see e.g. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/singleEntryFormatInArgs" class="cyc_term">singleEntryFormatInArgs</a>). Instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/GeneralEntryFormatPredicate" class="cyc_term">GeneralEntryFormatPredicate</a> are comparatively &quot;higher-order&quot;, and are used to relate any given <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/SpecificEntryFormatPredicate" class="cyc_term">SpecificEntryFormatPredicate</a> to a (fixed or given) argument-place of a given predicate (see e.g. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/arg1Format" class="cyc_term">arg1Format</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/argFormat" class="cyc_term">argFormat</a>). Note that in some of the later cases the specified format constraint will be an &quot;inter-argument&quot; one that depends in some way upon one of the predicate's other argument-places (or upon another, non-format, feature of the same argument-place); see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/InterArgFormatPredicate" class="cyc_term">InterArgFormatPredicate</a>. Note also that, in contrast with what <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ArgTypePredicate" class="cyc_term">ArgTypePredicate</a>s (q.v.) are used for, specifying an argument entry-format for a predicate does _not_ impose any sort of necessary condition for semantic well-formedness. A violation of a legitimate entry-format constraint necessarily involves two or more statements, and at least one them must be _untrue_; but there is no implication that any of them is malformed. argument-format predicate ArgFormatPredicate GenericPre-VerbPhraseModifyingFrame The collection of all frames for adverbs which modify verb phrases by left attaching them.

Instances are collections that are usefully invoked for purposes of resolving ambiguity and confusion that arise from the use of non-perspicuous languages. Suppose a human or other intelligent agent uses a language, such as a natural language, that is rife with ambiguity, and uses a word WORD of that language whose intended reference is unclear: in the context WORD might refer to THING1 or to THING2, but not both. One strategy for resolving this ambiguity is to find properties of THING1 and THING2, say P1 and P2, that distinguish them from one another, and ask the speaker whether by &quot;WORD,&quot; s/he intended to refer to something with P1, or to something with P2. For example, the speaker might use the word &quot;bank,&quot; and in response one might ask whether a financial institution or a piece of shoreline was meant. Clearly, what values of P1 and P2 are chosen cannot be arbitrary; asking whether the speaker meant to refer to a multi-individual agent versus a non-agentive place is not as effective as asking the speaker to choose between the &quot;financial institution&quot; and &quot;shoreline&quot; interpretations described above. Instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ClarifyingCollectionType" class="cyc_term">ClarifyingCollectionType</a> just are those collections -- such as the collection of financial institutions -- that might plausibly be invoked to resolve cases of ambiguity of the kind described here. In particular, suppose TYPE1 is an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ClarifyingCollectionType" class="cyc_term">ClarifyingCollectionType</a> and TYPE2 is not, and THING is an instance of both TYPE1 and TYPE2. The fact that (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/isa" class="cyc_term">isa</a> TYPE1 <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ClarifyingCollectionType" class="cyc_term">ClarifyingCollectionType</a>) is a reason to prefer TYPE1 over TYPE2 when calculating possible clarifying properties for THING.

Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ELRelation_OneWay" class="cyc_term">ELRelation_OneWay</a> is associated, via the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/expansion" class="cyc_term">expansion</a> or <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/expansionDefn" class="cyc_term">expansionDefn</a> relation, to a sentence template to which the former is essentially equivalent and for which the former serves as a convenient alternative. More precisely: A GAF (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/CycLClosedAtomicSentence" class="cyc_term">CycLClosedAtomicSentence</a>) whose main functor (or &quot;0th argument&quot;) is a term that denotes a one-way EL relation can occur only at the EL, and not at the underlying HL (&quot;heuristic level&quot;) of the system. Thus, although one can use a one-way-EL-relation-based GAF to make an assertion to the system, the GAF that actually gets stored as an assertion in the Cyc Knowledge Base is a different (though logically equivalent) one that is related to the first via the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/expansion" class="cyc_term">expansion</a> assertion on the EL relation. Upon assertion, the first GAF is &quot;transformed into&quot; the second GAF by the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/CycCanonicalizer" class="cyc_term">CycCanonicalizer</a>. For example, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/lessThan" class="cyc_term">lessThan</a> is a one-way EL relation whose <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/expansion" class="cyc_term">expansion</a> correlate is the template (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/greaterThan" class="cyc_term">greaterThan</a> :ARG2 :ARG1). So if one makes an assertion using the sentence `(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/lessThan" class="cyc_term">lessThan</a> 1 2)', the assertion that actually shows up in the KB is `(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/greaterThan" class="cyc_term">greaterThan</a> 2 1)'. Note that terms for one-way EL relations _do_ appear in stored assertions in which they occur in argument places other than the 0th; e.g. the sentence `(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/isa" class="cyc_term">isa</a> <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/lessThan" class="cyc_term">lessThan</a> <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/OrderingPredicate" class="cyc_term">OrderingPredicate</a>)' is in the KB. One-way EL relations afford cyclists the convenience of having alternative forms of expression, while their expansions serve to minimize redundancy in the types of GAFs that the system has to store and reason with.

Each instance FORMAT of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/SpecificEntryFormatPredicate" class="cyc_term">SpecificEntryFormatPredicate</a> relates a predicate PRED to an integer N just in case PRED's Nth argument-place is subject to the particular entry-format restriction that FORMAT represents. An argument entry-format is a kind of restriction on a predicate regarding how many things, or the range of things, that the predicate holds of with respect to a given one of its argument-places. More precisely: given any particular way of fixing the arguments in the rest of the predicate's argument-places, the entry-format tells us something about the number of different things, or the range of things, that can occupy the given argument-place such that the relation holds of those arguments. That is, supposing the given argument-place is the Nth, the entry-format tells us something about the number or range of different sequences of arguments of which the predicate holds and that differ from each other only in their Nth items. For example, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/singleEntryFormatInArgs" class="cyc_term">singleEntryFormatInArgs</a> (q.v.) is used to state that in every case there is at most only one such sequence, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/openEntryFormatInArgs" class="cyc_term">openEntryFormatInArgs</a> (q.v.) to state that there is no particular (upper or lower) limit to the number of such sequences that applies to every case, and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/intervalEntryFormatInArgs" class="cyc_term">intervalEntryFormatInArgs</a> (q.v.) to state that the Nth items of any two such sequences must be <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ScalarInterval" class="cyc_term">ScalarInterval</a>s that &quot;overlap&quot; (see <font color="#ff0000">#$overlapsIntervals</font>). Thus, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/biologicalMother" class="cyc_term">biologicalMother</a> has the format specification <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/openEntryFormatInArgs" class="cyc_term">openEntryFormatInArgs</a> with respect to its first argument-place, since a given female animal might have any number (including zero) of offspring; but this predicate has the format specification <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/singleEntryFormatInArgs" class="cyc_term">singleEntryFormatInArgs</a> with respect to its second argument-place, since any given animal has at most (in fact, exactly) one biological mother. And the format specified for the second argument-place of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/bodyTemperature" class="cyc_term">bodyTemperature</a> is <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/intervalEntryFormatInArgs" class="cyc_term">intervalEntryFormatInArgs</a> because, while a given creature (at a given moment in time) has a single exact (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ScalarPointValue" class="cyc_term">ScalarPointValue</a>) body temperature, we want the predicate <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/bodyTemperature" class="cyc_term">bodyTemperature</a> to be flexible enough to allow us to specify this temperature with varying degrees of precision (e.g. as &quot;98.6 degrees Fahrenheit&quot; or as &quot;between 98 and 99 degrees&quot; or as &quot;less than 100 degrees&quot;). See the various instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/SpecificEntryFormatPredicate" class="cyc_term">SpecificEntryFormatPredicate</a> for further details. See also <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/GeneralEntryFormatPredicate" class="cyc_term">GeneralEntryFormatPredicate</a>. Note that, in contrast with what <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ArgTypePredicate" class="cyc_term">ArgTypePredicate</a>s are used for, specifying an argument entry-format for a predicate does _not_ impose any sort of necessary condition for semantic well-formedness. A violation of a legitimate entry-format constraint necessarily involves two or more statements, and at least one them must be _untrue_; but there is no implication that any of them is malformed. SpecificEntryFormatPredicate <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/CommonSenseTestType" class="cyc_term">CommonSenseTestType</a> is the collection type of the specializations of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/CommonSenseTest" class="cyc_term">CommonSenseTest</a>.

As a sub-collection of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/EvaluatableRelation" class="cyc_term">EvaluatableRelation</a>, each instance of this collection is associated with a piece of procedural code (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/evaluationDefn" class="cyc_term">evaluationDefn</a>); however, the behavior of that code and, as a consequence, the behavior of these relations can vary in even minutely different contexts. Moreover, the factors that govern this behavior are complex or diffuse such that they cannot be provided as additional arguments . <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/EvaluatableRelation_Contextualized" class="cyc_term">EvaluatableRelation_Contextualized</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/TemporallyQualifiableRelation" class="cyc_term">TemporallyQualifiableRelation</a> are 'orthogonal.'

Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ArgIsaTernaryPredicate" class="cyc_term">ArgIsaTernaryPredicate</a> is a ternary predicate used to place an &quot;<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/isa" class="cyc_term">isa</a>&quot; constraint on (and thereby specify an argument-type for) one or more argument-places of a relation. To be more precise, each instance PRED of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ArgIsaTernaryPredicate" class="cyc_term">ArgIsaTernaryPredicate</a> takes a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Relation" class="cyc_term">Relation</a> RELN as its first argument, a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/NonNegativeInteger" class="cyc_term">NonNegativeInteger</a> N as its second argument, and a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Collection" class="cyc_term">Collection</a> COL as its third argument.

An argument-cardinality constraint is a kind of restriction on a predicate regarding the maximum number of things the predicate holds of with respect to a given one of its argument-places. More precisely: given any particular way of fixing the arguments in the rest of the predicate's argument-places (perhaps together with some further specified condition), the cardinality constraint states the maximum number of different things that can occupy the given argument-place such that the relation holds of those arguments. That is, supposing the given argument-place is the Nth, the cardinality constraint gives the maximum number of different sequences of arguments of which the predicate holds and that differ from each other only in their Nth items (and, where relevant, that meet some further specified condition). <p/> Instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ArgCardinalityPredicate" class="cyc_term">ArgCardinalityPredicate</a> include <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/argCardinality" class="cyc_term">argCardinality</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/interArgCardinality" class="cyc_term">interArgCardinality</a>, and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/assertedArgCardinality" class="cyc_term">assertedArgCardinality</a>. Note that, in contrast with what <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ArgTypePredicate" class="cyc_term">ArgTypePredicate</a>s (q.v.) are used for, putting an argument-cardinality constraint on a predicate does _not_ impose a necessary condition for semantic well-formedness on closed atomic sentences built from that predicate. A violation of a cardinality constraint with respect to the Cyc Knowledge Base normally involves multiple such sentences, where at least one them must be _untrue_ (or otherwise unsuited for assertion in the KB); but there is no implication that any of them is malformed. argument cardinality predicate ArgCardinalityPredicate ContentHypothesisMicrotheory content hypothesis microtheory The specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/HypotheticalContext" class="cyc_term">HypotheticalContext</a> whose instances all hypothesize an interpretation or presupposed content of some contextualized information structure.

As a sub-collection of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/EvaluatableFunction" class="cyc_term">EvaluatableFunction</a>, each instance of this collection is associated with a piece of procedural code (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/evaluationDefn" class="cyc_term">evaluationDefn</a>); however, the behavior of that code and, as a consequence, the value returned by this function, can vary in even minutely different contexts. Moreover, the factors that govern this behavior are complex or diffuse such that they cannot be provided as arguments to the function. This collection has an important relationship to forward inference because, during truth maintenance, the verification of the value returned by such a function cannot be accomplished simply by calling the function again (unlike, say <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/PlusFn" class="cyc_term">PlusFn</a>). Thus, there is special handling for the evaluations of these functions in order to provide stability to forward inference. For example, the function <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/RandomIntegerFn" class="cyc_term">RandomIntegerFn</a> is intended to return a random integer. Since that function should not return the same digit every time it is called, a forward inference based on an earlier value that was returned should not be undone because a new value was returned on a subsequent call. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/EvaluatableFunction_Contextualized" class="cyc_term">EvaluatableFunction_Contextualized</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/TemporallyQualifiableRelation" class="cyc_term">TemporallyQualifiableRelation</a> are 'orthogonal.'

The term rank module generates a term connectivity graph wherein edges join terms that are inferentially related. This graph is then passed to a randomized graph algorithm which computes an eigenvector for graph matrix. This vector represents the probability that an idealized inference engine, on a random walk of the graph will be focused on each respective term. This corresponds roughly to the importance or relevance of each term, especially with regard to a given weight vector that represents our a priori expectations of term relevance.

The salient feature of the predicates that are instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ProperNamePredicate_Loose" class="cyc_term">ProperNamePredicate_Loose</a> is that assertions made using those predicates are not guaranteed to contain all the grammatical information that would be necessary to handle morphological variants of the strings that appear in those assertions.

Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ReifiableFunction" class="cyc_term">ReifiableFunction</a> is denoted by a CycL constant that can stand in the 0th (or &quot;arg0&quot;) position in a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/CycLReifiableNonAtomicTerm" class="cyc_term">CycLReifiableNonAtomicTerm</a> (q.v.). For example, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/GovernmentFn" class="cyc_term">GovernmentFn</a> is a reifiable function, so the term `(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/GovernmentFn" class="cyc_term">GovernmentFn</a> <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/France" class="cyc_term">France</a>)' is a reifiable non-atomic term (or &quot;NAT&quot;). And since this particular term actually _is_ reified in the Cyc Knowledge Base, it is, more specifically, a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/CycLNonAtomicReifiedTerm" class="cyc_term">CycLNonAtomicReifiedTerm</a> (or &quot;NART&quot;).

Similary, the constant for <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/GovernmentFn" class="cyc_term">GovernmentFn</a> can be applied to the constant (or other reified or reifiable term) for _any_ instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/GeopoliticalEntity" class="cyc_term">GeopoliticalEntity</a> to form a reifiable NAT that denotes that region's government; and should this NAT appear in a sentence that is asserted to the KB, it will thereby become a NART. Note, however, that not all NATs are such that it is desireable that they should become reified (i.e. become NARTs) if they appear in assertions; for more on this see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/UnreifiableFunction" class="cyc_term">UnreifiableFunction</a>.

A given CycL assertion's direction (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/assertionDirection" class="cyc_term">assertionDirection</a>) indicates something about how and when the assertion can be used in inferences by the Cyc system. More precisely: <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Backward_AssertionDirection" class="cyc_term">Backward_AssertionDirection</a> indicates that the assertion can only be used in inferences carried out when a query is asked; <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Forward_AssertionDirection" class="cyc_term">Forward_AssertionDirection</a> indicates that the assertion can be used in inferences carried out at the time the assertion is added to the Knowledge Base as well as those carried out at ask-time; and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Code_AssertionDirection" class="cyc_term">Code_AssertionDirection</a> indicates that the assertion itself cannot be used in either backward (ask-time) or forward (assert-time) inferences, but is instead implemented in the underlying code of the Cyc system. Each CycL assertion has exactly one of the above three directions; the default direction is Forward for ground atomic assertions (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/CycLClosedAtomicSentence" class="cyc_term">CycLClosedAtomicSentence</a>) and Backward for rule assertions.

Language is permeated with metaphors based on such oriented states/abstract-locations, as in 'He is high', 'I'm down', 'his spirits rose', 'mine fell', 'Ishtar nose-dived', etc. These states are thus very important for many inference tasks that must reason about affective states. Orientation metaphors are amongst the most pervasive in any language, e.g.: Up = More = Good = Desirable, Down = Less = Bad = Undesirable. oriented location underspecified The collection of parsing template categories that map to natural language sentences. In general these will map to a GAF containing a predicate and its arguments.
