A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ObjectType" class="cyc_term">ObjectType</a> (q.v.) whose instances are all and only those collections that are temporally object-like. A collection <code>COL</code> is temporally object-like just in case it generally holds that any proper purely temporal parts (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/timeSlices" class="cyc_term">timeSlices</a>) of an instance of <code>COL</code> is not itself an instance of <code>COL</code>. More precisely, a collection <code>COL</code> is an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/TemporalObjectType" class="cyc_term">TemporalObjectType</a> just in case it satisfies the following: For any distinct <code>OBJ1</code> and <code>OBJ2</code>, if <code>(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/isa" class="cyc_term">isa</a> OBJ1 COL)</code> and <code>(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/timeSlices" class="cyc_term">timeSlices</a> OBJ1 OBJ2)</code>, then not <code>(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/isa" class="cyc_term">isa</a> OBJ2 COL)</code>. For example, none of the proper time-slices of a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/CalendarYear" class="cyc_term">CalendarYear</a> is itself a calendar year. Likewise for <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/TakingAStep" class="cyc_term">TakingAStep</a>. So <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/CalendarYear" class="cyc_term">CalendarYear</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/TakingAStep" class="cyc_term">TakingAStep</a> are both instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/TemporalObjectType" class="cyc_term">TemporalObjectType</a>. Conversely, a proper time-slice of a given <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Date" class="cyc_term">Date</a> might itself be a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Date" class="cyc_term">Date</a> (e.g. an hour has minutes and seconds as time-slices); so <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Date" class="cyc_term">Date</a> is not a temporal-object-type. See <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/TemporalStuffType" class="cyc_term">TemporalStuffType</a> for the disjoint notion of being temporally stuff-like. temporal object type TemporalObjectType Mx4rvViq35wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA type of temporally object-like thing temporal object types types of temporally object-like thing OneAtATimeActionType one at A time action type The collection of types of action which occupy the doer to such an extent that two such actions cannot be done simultaneously by the same doer. AccomplishmentType type of accomplishment A collection of collections. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/AccomplishmentType" class="cyc_term">AccomplishmentType</a> is a type of events that include, by their nature, a 'culmination' or completion point, conceptually distinct from their mere temporal ending. Moreover, each instance of an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/AccomplishmentType" class="cyc_term">AccomplishmentType</a> is 'quantized' in the following sense: if <code>EVENT-1</code> and <code>EVENT-2</code> are instances of the same instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/AccomplishmentType" class="cyc_term">AccomplishmentType</a>, then <code>EVENT-2</code> cannot be a proper sub-event of <code>EVENT-1</code>, nor can <code>EVENT-1</code> be a proper sub-event of <code>EVENT-2</code>. flight training type FlightTrainingType A type-level collection of all collections constituting recognized types of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/FlightTraining" class="cyc_term">FlightTraining</a>. weapon testing classification by weapon type WeaponsTestingTypeByTestedWeaponType The collection of those subsets of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Swimming_Surface" class="cyc_term">Swimming_Surface</a> that represent standardized strokes such as those used in swimming competitions. Instances include <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ButterflySwimStroke" class="cyc_term">ButterflySwimStroke</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Breaststroke" class="cyc_term">Breaststroke</a>.

Instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/HolidayTypeByReligion" class="cyc_term">HolidayTypeByReligion</a> include <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ChristianHoliday" class="cyc_term">ChristianHoliday</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/IslamicHoliday" class="cyc_term">IslamicHoliday</a>, and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/JewishHoliday" class="cyc_term">JewishHoliday</a>.

Salts are usually products of neutralization reactions. type of neutralization reaction NeutralizationReactionType BacteriumIdentificationTestType A collection of collections. These are all methods of identifying types of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Bacterium" class="cyc_term">Bacterium</a>. It includes the various stains and other tests performed on bacterial cultures. bacterium identification test type of killing event classified by device KillingByDeviceType <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/KillingByDeviceType" class="cyc_term">KillingByDeviceType</a> is a faceting of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/KillingByOrganism" class="cyc_term">KillingByOrganism</a>. Each instance is a specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/KillingByOrganism" class="cyc_term">KillingByOrganism</a> whose membership is defined in terms of the device used to carry out the killing. CombinationReactionType A collection of collections. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/CombinationReactionType" class="cyc_term">CombinationReactionType</a> is a type of chemical reaction (i.e., a specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ChemicalReaction" class="cyc_term">ChemicalReaction</a>) in which two or more substances (instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ChemicalObject" class="cyc_term">ChemicalObject</a>) react to form a single product (also an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ChemicalObject" class="cyc_term">ChemicalObject</a>). type of combination reaction MalfunctionTypeByActionTypeCompromised This type level collection defines a covering on #$Malfunction. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/MalfunctionTypeByActionTypeCompromised" class="cyc_term">MalfunctionTypeByActionTypeCompromised</a> is a collection of instances of #$Malfunction, such that every instance of the collection compromises the same kind of activity on the part of the system experiencing the #$Malfunction in question. malfunction type by action type compromised GiftGivingOccasionType gift giving occasion The collection of all occasion types for which it is appropriate (relative to some social norm) to give a gift to a person. Each instance is a collection of events of a certain type. Some instances are such that gifts are given on that occasion to recipients who participate in the event merely as a celebrant (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/socialParticipants" class="cyc_term">socialParticipants</a>), e.g., <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ChristmasHoliday" class="cyc_term">ChristmasHoliday</a>. Other instances are such that gifts are given on that occasion only to recipients who play the role of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/performedBy" class="cyc_term">performedBy</a> in the event, e.g., <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/GraduatingEvent" class="cyc_term">GraduatingEvent</a>.

PunctualEventType A collection of collections of events. If PUNCT is an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/PunctualEventType" class="cyc_term">PunctualEventType</a>, then each instance of PUNCT is temporally `unextended', i.e., its occurrence bisects an imaginary timeline in a `before' and an `after' segment without residue. More precisely, we'll say that EVT is an instance of an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/PunctualEventType" class="cyc_term">PunctualEventType</a> iff its starting point and its ending point coincide, i.e., if its temporal extent is `point-like' up to a reasonable time granularity scale. type of punctual event SolutionStepEventType solution step event type <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/SolutionStepEventType" class="cyc_term">SolutionStepEventType</a> is the collection of types of events that can be associated with the solution steps used to generate a worked solution to a problem. ConventionallyClassifiedTemporalObjectSeries conventionally classified temporal object series A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ConventionalClassificationType" class="cyc_term">ConventionalClassificationType</a> (q.v.) and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/TemporalObjectType" class="cyc_term">TemporalObjectType</a>. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ConventionallyClassifiedTemporalObjectSeries" class="cyc_term">ConventionallyClassifiedTemporalObjectSeries</a> is a series of temporal objects (of the same kind) such that for each E in the series one can meaningfully speak of `the one before E' or `the one after E' in the series (or speak of `the last one' or `the next one' etc. in the series if we are to temporally locate ourselves in E). Examples of instances of this collection include <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/CalendarYear" class="cyc_term">CalendarYear</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Friday" class="cyc_term">Friday</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ChristmasHoliday" class="cyc_term">ChristmasHoliday</a> etc. Two important specializations of this collection are <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ConventionallyClassifiedTimeIntervalSeries" class="cyc_term">ConventionallyClassifiedTimeIntervalSeries</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/AnnualHolidayType" class="cyc_term">AnnualHolidayType</a> (q.v.). StandardServiceType type of service Instances are types of service events which are typically sold at a fixed price, and consist of a more-or-less fixed sequence of actions - that is, each service provider who performs one of these types of service charges every customer the same amount and gives them pretty much the same service same length time interval type SameLengthTimeIntervalType Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/SameLengthTimeIntervalType" class="cyc_term">SameLengthTimeIntervalType</a> is a collection which, for a fixed length/duration, contains all and only the time intervals of that length. For example, (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/SameLengthTimeIntervalTypeFn" class="cyc_term">SameLengthTimeIntervalTypeFn</a> (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/MinutesDuration" class="cyc_term">MinutesDuration</a> 3)) is an instance of this collection, which contains all and only time intervals that are three minute long, such as (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/TimeIntervalInclusiveFn" class="cyc_term">TimeIntervalInclusiveFn</a> (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/MinuteFn" class="cyc_term">MinuteFn</a> 1 (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/HourFn" class="cyc_term">HourFn</a> 3 (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/DayFn" class="cyc_term">DayFn</a> 5 (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/MonthFn" class="cyc_term">MonthFn</a> <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/July" class="cyc_term">July</a> (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/YearFn" class="cyc_term">YearFn</a> 2002))))) (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/MinuteFn" class="cyc_term">MinuteFn</a> 3 (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/HourFn" class="cyc_term">HourFn</a> 3 (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/DayFn" class="cyc_term">DayFn</a> 5 (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/MonthFn" class="cyc_term">MonthFn</a> <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/July" class="cyc_term">July</a> (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/YearFn" class="cyc_term">YearFn</a> 2002)))))). Note that the `same length' is used in its strict sense: a collection of intervals whose lengths all fall into a range specified by different lengths, such as all intervals of lengths between 3 and 5 seconds, is not an instance of this collection. kind of US primary election A <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/SecondOrderCollection" class="cyc_term">SecondOrderCollection</a> that facets <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/USPrimaryElection" class="cyc_term">USPrimaryElection</a>.

PrimaryElectionType-US (UserOptionsWRTUIAActionFn OfferingARefinementSuggestionInUIA) available user option to UIA offering a refinement suggestion A collection of collections and a specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/TemporalObjectType" class="cyc_term">TemporalObjectType</a>. TYPE is an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/TemporallyDisjointTemporalObjectType" class="cyc_term">TemporallyDisjointTemporalObjectType</a> just in case any two distinct instances of TYPE are <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/temporallyDisjoint" class="cyc_term">temporallyDisjoint</a>. For example, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Wednesday" class="cyc_term">Wednesday</a> is an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/TemporallyDisjointTemporalObjectType" class="cyc_term">TemporallyDisjointTemporalObjectType</a> because no Wednesday can temporally intersect any Wednesday other than itself.

Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/PaymentByDeliveryType" class="cyc_term">PaymentByDeliveryType</a> is a sub-collection of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Paying" class="cyc_term">Paying</a> characterized by use of a specific type of delivery of payment, such as <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/TransportationEvent" class="cyc_term">TransportationEvent</a> (q.v.) or wire transfer of funds. PaymentByDeliveryType payment by delivery type AssignedTaskType Instances of this collection are specializations of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/PurposefulAction" class="cyc_term">PurposefulAction</a> which are assigned tasks in some planning context. task information leak by org type InformationLeakTypeByOrgType solitary game type SolitaryGameType a collection of subcollections of events. Each element of each element is an event in which an individual plays a game designed to be played by one person. Instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/SpecifiedGameType" class="cyc_term">SpecifiedGameType</a> are types of games, specific as to the name and the rules used. Each instance is a collection, a spec of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/GameEvent" class="cyc_term">GameEvent</a>, whose instances are particular events in which the game is played from beginning to end. For example, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/IndivPentathlonEvent" class="cyc_term">IndivPentathlonEvent</a> is an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/SpecifiedGameType" class="cyc_term">SpecifiedGameType</a>, because all instances use the same set of rules, and consist of all the moves of a game until one of the players wins. Not every instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/SpecifiedGameType" class="cyc_term">SpecifiedGameType</a> has to consist of instances where there is a winner, because there might be games that don't have winners; the important thing is that the instances are by default played to completion (whatever that means for the particular type of game). Also, not every spec of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/GameEvent" class="cyc_term">GameEvent</a> is a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/SpecifiedGameType" class="cyc_term">SpecifiedGameType</a>. E.g., 'SolitaryGameEvent' (the class of games played by one person) would not be a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/SpecifiedGameType" class="cyc_term">SpecifiedGameType</a> since that class isn't specific as to the name of the game and the rules used. SpecifiedGameType type of game blue task BlueTask The collection of all instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/AssignedTaskType" class="cyc_term">AssignedTaskType</a> that have been assigned (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/unitAssignedToTask" class="cyc_term">unitAssignedToTask</a>) to some <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/BlueUnit" class="cyc_term">BlueUnit</a> in a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/CourseOfAction" class="cyc_term">CourseOfAction</a>. planned situation An instance of this collection is the type of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Situation" class="cyc_term">Situation</a>s representing the complex of states of affairs that would constitute the realization or fulfillment of a given plan. This is not the only ontologically relevant aspect of `plans', but it is central: a plan can typically be seen as the description of a complex of states of affairs that is expected to be brought about by someone's actions. Particular situations, therefore, are `realizations' of a plan insofar as they satisfy the plan's specified constraints -- thus a plan specifies a type of situations. Relevant specializations are (mostly in the context of military planning) <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Mission_AssignedActionType" class="cyc_term">Mission_AssignedActionType</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/CourseOfAction" class="cyc_term">CourseOfAction</a>.

This is the collection of courses of particular topics that can be given many times. So, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/GoingToUniversity" class="cyc_term">GoingToUniversity</a> is not a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/CourseOfStudyType" class="cyc_term">CourseOfStudyType</a>, but Math101AtUT is. specified play musical type SpecifiedPlay-MusicalPerformanceType A collection of collections, each element of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/SpecifiedPlay_MusicalPerformanceType" class="cyc_term">SpecifiedPlay_MusicalPerformanceType</a> is a collection of performances of a musical/dramatic work.

A hasty river crossing is a task conducted as part of a larger operation, typically an attack, with no intentional pause at the water line. When a hasty river crossing is not feasible such as when the enemy or terrain situations prevent it, a hasty crossing attempt fails, or friendly offensive operations resume at a river line after a pause, the force conducts a deliberate river crossing operation. A retrograde river crossing is a movement to the rear across a water obstacle while in contact with the enemy. A river crossing is both a tactical task and an enabling operation.

GreetingSomeone greeting military river crossing task A river crossing is an operation required before ground combat power can be projected and sustained across a water obstacle. It is a centrally planned and controlled operation that requires the allocation of external crossing means and a force dedicated to the security of the bridgehead. River crossings require specific procedures for success because the water obstacle prevents normal ground maneuver. There are three basic types of river crossings: hasty, deliberate, and retrograde. A hasty river crossing is a task conducted as part of a larger operation, typically an attack, with no intentional pause at the water line. When a hasty river crossing is not feasible such as when the enemy or terrain situations prevent it, a hasty crossing attempt fails, or friendly offensive operations resume at a river line after a pause, the force conducts a deliberate river crossing operation. A retrograde river crossing is a movement to the rear across a water obstacle while in contact with the enemy. A river crossing is both a tactical task and an enabling operation. Field Manual 90-13, River Crossing Operations, gives detailed information concerning the conduct of a river crossing.

Successful canalization results in moving the enemy formation into a predetermined position where it is vulnerable to piecemeal destruction by direct and indirect fires. The same effect occurs when an enemy force is taken under fire and individual enemy soldiers and combat systems seek positions that are masked from the effects of friendly fires. When this occurs, further enemy movements are usually canalized into areas outside of the 'beaten zone' established by the effects of the friendly force's fire, and thus can be fairly easy to predict.

There are three basic types of river crossings: hasty, deliberate, and retrograde. A hasty river crossing is a task conducted as part of a larger operation, typically an attack, with no intentional pause at the water line. When a hasty river crossing is not feasible such as when the enemy or terrain situations prevent it, a hasty crossing attempt fails, or friendly offensive operations resume at a river line after a pause, the force conducts a deliberate river crossing operation. A retrograde river crossing is a movement to the rear across a water obstacle while in contact with the enemy. A river crossing is both a tactical task and an enabling operation. Field Manual 90-13, River Crossing Operations, gives detailed information concerning the conduct of a river crossing. retrograde river crossing RiverCrossing-Retrograde Deflagration A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Explosion" class="cyc_term">Explosion</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/CombustionReaction" class="cyc_term">CombustionReaction</a>.

You just log on, answer the various questions, provide a password and print off the completed form for signing. If you can't print it off, they'll do it for you and fire it off to you in the post. (A real signature is a legal requirement at the moment so you will have to put pen to paper in the early stages).' bribery OfferingABribe A collection of actions.

Of course, in many sports there are judges of some kind who interpret the rules. The difference lies in the complexity of the rules, whether the judge is merely asked to verify a simple fact like a ball being inbounds at a certain time, or whether they are asked to evaluate one performance on many criteria and produce a particular score or scores. JudgedSportsEvent SexualReproductionEvent sexual reproduction A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/BiologicalReproductionEvent" class="cyc_term">BiologicalReproductionEvent</a>. In each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/SexualReproductionEvent" class="cyc_term">SexualReproductionEvent</a>, two <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/parentActors" class="cyc_term">parentActors</a> produce one or more offspring. Sexual activity which does not result in offspring is not included in this concept. On the other hand, if offspring begin to develop, but never finish (e.g., it just hasn't finished yet, or the mother dies, or the offspring is aborted, or the offspring doesn't survive to independence, etc.), then that is still considered an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/SexualReproductionEvent" class="cyc_term">SexualReproductionEvent</a> but an incomplete one. The example of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/SexualReproductionEvent" class="cyc_term">SexualReproductionEvent</a> most familiar to most people is when two mammals, one male and one female, mate; sperm from the male combines with one or more eggs inside the female and the resulting offspring develop(s), inside the female parent and dependent upon her for nutrition, until it/they is/are born. However, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/SexualReproductionEvent" class="cyc_term">SexualReproductionEvent</a> is more general than that, and would include these examples: Two birds mate; the female lays one or more eggs; both parents incubate the eggs until they hatch. Two fish engage in courtship; the female expells her eggs; the male expells his sperm on top of them, and they swim away leaving many fertilized eggs to develop into juvenile fish. One oak tree's flowers give off airborne pollen; some grains land on the stigma of another tree's flower and fertilize the ovary inside, which then develops into an acorn which is shed by the female parent at the end of summer.

Counterreconnaissance is not a distinct mission, but a component of security operations. It prevents hostile observation of a force, area, or place. Counterreconnaissance is an element of all security operations and most local security measures. It involves both active and passive elements and includes combat action to destroy or repel enemy reconnaissance units. Stripping away enemy ground reconnaissance while denying the enemy information through other collection systems allows friendly force commanders to operate against an enemy who is operating blindly. The enemy commander's inability to see the battlefield will eventually desynchronize his actions and render his command vulnerable to aggressive action by friendly forces.

A positive example would be the event of making exactly thirty copies of a particular document for a meeting, it is an event composed of instances of copying.
