TemporalStuffType type of temporally stuff-like thing A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/StuffType" class="cyc_term">StuffType</a> (q.v.) whose instances are all and only those collections that are temporally stuff-like. A collection <code>COL</code> is temporally stuff-like just in case every purely temporal part (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 itself an instance of <code>COL</code>, unless it is a temporal part of a temporal granule of <code>COL</code> (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/granuleOfTemporalStuff" class="cyc_term">granuleOfTemporalStuff</a>). More precisely, for a collection <code>COL</code> to be an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/TemporalStuffType" class="cyc_term">TemporalStuffType</a> it is both a necessary and sufficient condition that for any <code>OBJ1</code> and <code>OBJ2</code> (with <code>OBJ2</code> at or above <code>COL</code>'s temporal granularity level), 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 <code>(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/isa" class="cyc_term">isa</a> OBJ2 COL)</code>. Consider <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/WalkingOnTwoLegs" class="cyc_term">WalkingOnTwoLegs</a>. Take an arbitrary instance <code>WALK</code> of this collection (say Miss America 2000's victory walk down the runway and back); and then take an arbitrary time-slice <code>SUBWALK</code> of <code>WALK</code> that subsumes at least one instance of (the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/granuleOfTemporalStuff" class="cyc_term">granuleOfTemporalStuff</a> for <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/WalkingOnTwoLegs" class="cyc_term">WalkingOnTwoLegs</a>) <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/TakingAStep" class="cyc_term">TakingAStep</a> (say her trip back from the end of the runway). <code>SUBWALK</code> is itself an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/WalkingOnTwoLegs" class="cyc_term">WalkingOnTwoLegs</a>. So <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/WalkingOnTwoLegs" class="cyc_term">WalkingOnTwoLegs</a> is an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/TemporalStuffType" class="cyc_term">TemporalStuffType</a>. See <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/TemporalObjectType" class="cyc_term">TemporalObjectType</a> for the disjoint notion of being temporally object-like. Mx4rvVitN5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA temporal stuff type types of temporally stuff-like thing temporal stuff types adjustable rate loan type by adjustment period AdjustableRateLoanTypeByAdjustmentPeriod 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>.

Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/AccountType" class="cyc_term">AccountType</a> is a collection of financial accounts of the same type. Instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/AccountType" class="cyc_term">AccountType</a> include <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/SavingsAccount" class="cyc_term">SavingsAccount</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/CreditCardAccount" class="cyc_term">CreditCardAccount</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/RetirementAccount" class="cyc_term">RetirementAccount</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/SocialSecurityAccount" class="cyc_term">SocialSecurityAccount</a>, and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/TravelExpenseAccount" class="cyc_term">TravelExpenseAccount</a>. A collection of collections. Instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/IBTFormatType" class="cyc_term">IBTFormatType</a> are collections of things which store or encode information. Each IBTFormatType is distinguished primarily by the physical format of its instances. For example, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/CompactDisc_Generic" class="cyc_term">CompactDisc_Generic</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/HardcopyInformationBearingObject" class="cyc_term">HardcopyInformationBearingObject</a>, and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/VideoTape" class="cyc_term">VideoTape</a> are all instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/IBTFormatType" class="cyc_term">IBTFormatType</a>. Non-examples include <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/JazzMusic" class="cyc_term">JazzMusic</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/StarTrek_TNG" class="cyc_term">StarTrek_TNG</a>, since these are distinguished primarily by the kind of information contained, rather than physical format.

Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/BilaterallySymmetricObject" class="cyc_term">BilaterallySymmetricObject</a> is a (tangible or intangible) spatial object that is symmetric with respect to some bisecting straight line (if the object is planar) or plane (if it's non-planar). In this context, symmetric means that the line or plane divides the object into two equal halves with the same shape (or mirror-image shapes). For example, a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Circle" class="cyc_term">Circle</a>, an isosceles <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Triangle" class="cyc_term">Triangle</a>, a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Cone" class="cyc_term">Cone</a>, and a human body are all bilaterally symmetric objects.

If <code>OBJ</code> is a two- or three-dimensional non-planar object that is symmetric with respect to a bisecting plane <code>PLANE</code>, then any straight line with respect to which the space-region intersection of <code>OBJ</code> and <code>PLANE</code> is symmetric is itself an axis of symmetry of <code>OBJ</code>. Thus, a circle has an infinite number of axes of symmetry (viz. any straight line that intersects the circle and passes through its center); an isosceles triangle has exactly one axis of symmetry; a cone has at least one axis of symmetry; and a human body has no axis of symmetry (though it does have three <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/objectAxes" class="cyc_term">objectAxes</a> (q.v.)).

Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/TransportationEvent" class="cyc_term">TransportationEvent</a> is an event in which an object (in the role of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/transporter" class="cyc_term">transporter</a>) aids in the translational movement of another object (having the role of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/transportees" class="cyc_term">transportees</a>), so that both objects move together along the same complete pathway (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/motionPathway_Complete" class="cyc_term">motionPathway_Complete</a>).

Examples of transportation events include automobile transportation, riding a bicycle, dogs pulling goods on a sled, a wagon with groceries rolling down a hill, a person carrying clothes in a suitcase, etc. In that last case, note that the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/transporter" class="cyc_term">transporter</a> is the suitcase, not the person. Note that the transporter in a transportation event need not be in motion relative to its destination throughout the transportation event; an automobile transportation is a single transportation event even if it has sub-events in which the driver and all of the passengers disembark while the car is parked and refueled. A single transportation event may also have more than one transporter. For example, a sofa may be transported accross a living room floor by two people working together. Events which are not <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/TransportationEvent" class="cyc_term">TransportationEvent</a>s include a river conveying some flotsam, the wind blowing a leaf, a conveyor belt moving a widget to the next person on an assembly line, or a walking beast of burden that is carrying nothing.

The transformations are brought about by purely chemical (including biochemical) means which affect chemical bonds between atoms in the molecules of stuff, rather than by physical means, biological means, or purposeful planning, etc. Examples of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ChemicalReaction" class="cyc_term">ChemicalReaction</a>: instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/CombustionProcess" class="cyc_term">CombustionProcess</a>; instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Photosynthesis_Generic" class="cyc_term">Photosynthesis_Generic</a>. exposure to liquid methyldichloroarsine (ExposureOfOrganismToHarmfulSubstanceFn (LiquidFn Methyldichloroarsine)) shaking a fist ShakingAFist The set of actions in which a performer presents a clenched fist and moves it back and forth within someone's sight, usually while standing close to him, as a personally threatening or defiant gesture. Drifting drifting The collection of all random path translations in which the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/primaryObjectMoving" class="cyc_term">primaryObjectMoving</a> is suspended in a fluid, i.e. a liquid or a gas. Examples include the movement of a toy baloon on the breeze (but not necessarily the movement of a manned hot-air balloon or a dirigible!) or the movement of the Mary Celeste at the time she was discovered. MakingASplashingSound making a splashing sound SurgicalSite surgical site prevention of sexually transmitted diseases (PreventingFn SexuallyTransmittedInfection) making docks available (MakingAvailableFn Dock) Jogging Less strenuous form of running jog (ExperiencingEmotionFn Despair) despairing slide This is the most general collection about the rubbing, sliding or skidding processes that occur between solid objects in physical contact. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Sliding_Generic" class="cyc_term">Sliding_Generic</a> is disjoint with <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/RollingOnASurface" class="cyc_term">RollingOnASurface</a>: In instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/RollingOnASurface" class="cyc_term">RollingOnASurface</a> flush surface regions of the slider and the slidee do not translate relative to each other during for the brief moment that they are in contact. By contrast, such flush surface regions are translating relative to each other during instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Sliding_Generic" class="cyc_term">Sliding_Generic</a>. Typical examples include objects sliding, slipping, or skidding. Negative examples include balls rolling (the contact surfaces do not translate relative to one another) and water flowing in a conduit (because the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/objectMoving" class="cyc_term">objectMoving</a> is not solid). All things being equal friction involved with sliding is greater than that with rolling. See also <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Sliding_LowFriction" class="cyc_term">Sliding_LowFriction</a>, a low friction kind of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Sliding_Generic" class="cyc_term">Sliding_Generic</a> to be contrasted with it high friction sibling, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Rubbing" class="cyc_term">Rubbing</a>. Sliding-Generic Leaflet-Anterior anterior leaflet ConstructionPlan The collection of instances of Plan in which the eventTypePlanned is some type of construction (c.f., Constructing). construction plan computer display type in field CW The collection of all instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/VisualWork" class="cyc_term">VisualWork</a> that are to be instantiated as a type-in field on a computer screen (as an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ComputerDisplayTypeInField" class="cyc_term">ComputerDisplayTypeInField</a>). An instantiation of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ComputerDisplayTypeInField_CW" class="cyc_term">ComputerDisplayTypeInField_CW</a> will (normally) display the characters typed on the appropriate keyboard while the type-in field is active. Special varieties of type-in fields that do not output the characters typed are used for security purposes. One variety produces no output, while another outputs asterisks or other default characters to indicate a character has been input, but not the identity of that character. If the output is to hardcopy instead of a computer screen, sometimes the field is initially blackened with a large amount of overtyping before the secure characters are typed. ComputerDisplayTypeInField-CW The collection of all <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/TelephoneSubscriberLine" class="cyc_term">TelephoneSubscriberLine</a>s, whether land lines or cellular, which operate using analog, as opposed to digital signals.

Instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/DivineBeing" class="cyc_term">DivineBeing</a> are believed to be immortal in some cultures. Note that this collection is _not_ a specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Agent_Intangible" class="cyc_term">Agent_Intangible</a>, since some god-like beings are believed to have physical bodies. divine being VoluntaryArrangementForRepayment voluntary arrangement The collection of all voluntary arrangements.

The situation in which something is stabilized in equilibrium, such that changes to its position or orientation are resisted. Stabilizing stabilizing A collection of events, and a subset of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/CoolingProcess" class="cyc_term">CoolingProcess</a>. During each <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/CoolingAir" class="cyc_term">CoolingAir</a> event, the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/objectOfStateChange" class="cyc_term">objectOfStateChange</a> is some piece of air which is cooled. Every time the thermostat in an office building clicks on, in the summer, and the building air conditioner kicks in, and blowers run to circulate the air to the offices, etc., there is a new instance of this collection (namely one subevent of that whole process --- the subevent in which the air conditioner actually cools the air that passes by it, for a few minutes). CoolingAir cooling air BackSpin back spin Moving through the air with the top moving forward slower and the bottom moving forward faster. The axis of spin is approximately horizontal. This produces negative lift and changes the direction of bounce toward the direction in which the object is spinning. This usually applies to a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Sphere" class="cyc_term">Sphere</a> object. waiting for a bus WaitingForABus The collection of all events in which a person waits for a bus (public transportation road vehicle) VisualInformationGeneratingAct transmission of visual information A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/IBTGeneration" class="cyc_term">IBTGeneration</a> (q.v.). Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/VisualInformationGeneratingAct" class="cyc_term">VisualInformationGeneratingAct</a> is an action that generates visual information (i.e. information of a kind typically accessed via the sense of sight). Specializations of this collection include <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/MakingAGesture" class="cyc_term">MakingAGesture</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/DisplayingSomething" class="cyc_term">DisplayingSomething</a>, and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Writing" class="cyc_term">Writing</a>. If a given visual-information-generating act also involves conveying the information to another agent (i.e. if it is a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Communicating" class="cyc_term">Communicating</a>), then it is also a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/VisualCommunicating" class="cyc_term">VisualCommunicating</a> (q.v.). Or a visual-information-generating act might be a proper sub-event of a visual-communicating act. campfire The collection of all campfires. A type of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/CombustionProcess" class="cyc_term">CombustionProcess</a>. Campfire schedule Schedule special kinds of Plans which deal with WHEN things are supposed to happen. For the hard-copy record of a schedule, see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ScheduleDocument" class="cyc_term">ScheduleDocument</a>. economic occurrence EconomicEvent <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/EconomicEvent" class="cyc_term">EconomicEvent</a> is the most general collection of events having an economic character, such as buying and selling, inflation and recession, and economic policy-making. MilitarySpaceLaunchOperation A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/MilitaryOperation" class="cyc_term">MilitaryOperation</a>. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/MilitarySpaceLaunchOperation" class="cyc_term">MilitarySpaceLaunchOperation</a> is a complex event during which a military organization prepares a rocket (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/RocketPropelledTransportationDevice" class="cyc_term">RocketPropelledTransportationDevice</a>) and rocket-supporting systems (e.g. a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/RocketRange" class="cyc_term">RocketRange</a>) for transportation in outer space (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/SpaceTransportationEvent" class="cyc_term">SpaceTransportationEvent</a>). Each instance involves preparation events, and, in those cases where the prepartation events are successful, a rocket launch (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/LaunchingARocket" class="cyc_term">LaunchingARocket</a>). Each instance that involves a rocket launch also involves additional post-launch events, during which the rocket travels toward outer space and is tracked by facilities at the stations on the launch site's rocket range. Completely succesful instances of this collection terminate when the launch vehicle no longer needs to be tracked by the launching agent, for example when the launch vehicle for the spaceflight has been expended or has safely landed at its destination. military space launch operation domestic policy A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Policy" class="cyc_term">Policy</a>. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/DomesticPolicy" class="cyc_term">DomesticPolicy</a> is a policy for domestic affairs. DomesticPolicy starvation A collection of events. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Starvation" class="cyc_term">Starvation</a> is an event in which an <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Animal" class="cyc_term">Animal</a> is so hungry as to be <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Starving" class="cyc_term">Starving</a>. If prolonged, it results in death. NB: This is a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/SingleDoerAction" class="cyc_term">SingleDoerAction</a> (q.v.), so it doesn't cover cases wherein one creature withholds food from another. Starvation The collection of Cyc-based applications. Excluded are programs which are internal or essential to the maintainence or operation of the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/CycKB" class="cyc_term">CycKB</a>, such as the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/CycInferenceEngine" class="cyc_term">CycInferenceEngine</a> or the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/CycCanonicalizer" class="cyc_term">CycCanonicalizer</a>. Cyc application CycApplication configuration of a complex object The collection of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Situation" class="cyc_term">Situation</a>s in which some complex object, i.e. one with distinguishable parts, is configured in some static manner. It is in virtue of these distinguishable parts that this collection is a specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Configuration" class="cyc_term">Configuration</a> since a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Configuration" class="cyc_term">Configuration</a> must involve two or more objects. (When all of the configured objects in a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Configuration" class="cyc_term">Configuration</a> are part of some larger object then the configuration might be deemed to be a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ConfigurationOfComplexObject" class="cyc_term">ConfigurationOfComplexObject</a>.) Note that a configuration is an instance only if a single object is the thing configured in the configuration. Hence, the configuration of eleven different chairs in the room would not likely be an instance, but a configuration of a network of telephone poles insofar as the network is an object, having the telephone poles as parts, might be. ConfigurationOfComplexObject (ExposureOfOrganismToHarmfulSubstanceFn HarmfulChemicalSubstance) exposure to chemically harmful substances CheatingInstructionsForGameProgram The collection of all <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Instructions" class="cyc_term">Instructions</a> on how to cheat at computer games. computer game cheat biological destruction BiologicalDestructionEvent A specialization of both <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/PhysicalDestructionEvent" class="cyc_term">PhysicalDestructionEvent</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/BiologicalProcess" class="cyc_term">BiologicalProcess</a>.

It is important that actual movement along PATH be prevented, at least in part, by the deterrent effect of the blocking object(s). That is, at least some of the blocked objects should be blocked by the likelihood of being physically prevented from moving, without having to come in contact with the blocking object(s) themselves. Examples include a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Fence" class="cyc_term">Fence</a> keeping <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Cow" class="cyc_term">Cow</a>s in a pasture, and an <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Obstacle" class="cyc_term">Obstacle</a> blocking a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Roadway" class="cyc_term">Roadway</a>. Objects whose movement is being blocked in this way may occassionally come into physical contact with the blocking object (as a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Cow" class="cyc_term">Cow</a> bumping into, or pushing against, a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Fence" class="cyc_term">Fence</a>), but the situation will be an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/BarrierSituation_Deterrent" class="cyc_term">BarrierSituation_Deterrent</a> just in case the blocking is at least partially accomplished by deterrence.

Note: This collection is more general than <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/EntertainmentPerformance" class="cyc_term">EntertainmentPerformance</a>. For instance, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/JokeTelling" class="cyc_term">JokeTelling</a> is a specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/EntertainmentEvent" class="cyc_term">EntertainmentEvent</a>, since it involves both an entertainer and an entertainee, Such an event, however, can occur under informal circumstances, and need not be a formal performance. Thus <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/JokeTelling" class="cyc_term">JokeTelling</a> is not a spec of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/EntertainmentPerformance" class="cyc_term">EntertainmentPerformance</a>.

This is the collection of (at least partially) mental events whose instances are characterized by intentionality: they are "of" or "about" some thing external to themselves. Thoughts and acts of perception are two common types of intentional mental events. Thus, a particular act of thinking about the Eiffel Tower and a particular act of seeing the Eiffel Tower are both intentional mental events, each having (at least) the Eiffel Tower as their object. Any thing whatsoever can in principle be the object of an intentional mental event: I can think about a certain physical object, an <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Event" class="cyc_term">Event</a>, a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Relation" class="cyc_term">Relation</a>, an attribute, a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Proposition" class="cyc_term">Proposition</a>, a mental state (my own or another's), a set, a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Collection" class="cyc_term">Collection</a>, or anything else. Mental events that are _not_ intentional, and thus not in this collection, include non-localized pain experiences, and at least some instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ExperiencingEmotion" class="cyc_term">ExperiencingEmotion</a> (q.v.). Note that, although they are indirectly related (see e.g. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/PurposefulMentalActivity" class="cyc_term">PurposefulMentalActivity</a>), the sense of "intentional" described above is not to be confused with its other sense as an antonym of "accidental". Nor is it to be confused with the logico-semantic concept of _intensional_ meaning.

In each <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Extruding" class="cyc_term">Extruding</a> event, the shape of something is changed by forcing it through a die. The <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/objectActedOn" class="cyc_term">objectActedOn</a> in an <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Extruding" class="cyc_term">Extruding</a> must be in a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Liquid_StateOfMatter" class="cyc_term">Liquid_StateOfMatter</a>, which also includes plastic/putty-like solids. Unless the die changes shape during the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Extruding" class="cyc_term">Extruding</a>, the output is a generalized cylinder, whose cross-section is the shape of the hole(s) in the die, and whose length is usually much larger than its diameter. Sometimes the output remains in more or less <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Liquid_StateOfMatter" class="cyc_term">Liquid_StateOfMatter</a>, and so quickly loses this shape, such as happens when a soft-ice-cream dispenser extrudes a ribbon of ice cream.

AtLeastPartiallyMentalEvent A collection of events. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/AtLeastPartiallyMentalEvent" class="cyc_term">AtLeastPartiallyMentalEvent</a> is an event involving the mental functions of a participant or group of participants (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/actors" class="cyc_term">actors</a>) in that event. The collection includes such things as dreaming, perceiving, sensing, theorizing about something, having a realization, making a decision, building something, designing something, and consciously carrying out a task. Note that the above list includes both purposeful events and non-purposeful events that involve mental functions. Note also that any event that has a mental component is also an instance of this collection, so that events like preparing lunch would be classified as instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/AtLeastPartiallyMentalEvent" class="cyc_term">AtLeastPartiallyMentalEvent</a>.

Also note that events in which information is transferred (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/InformationTransferEvent" class="cyc_term">InformationTransferEvent</a>) are not considered instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/InformationBearingThing" class="cyc_term">InformationBearingThing</a>. Rather, such transfer events have as one of their participants (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/actors" class="cyc_term">actors</a>) some instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/InformationBearingThing" class="cyc_term">InformationBearingThing</a>; though in cases where IBTs are themselves events this will require distinguishing very finely between the event that encodes the information and the event that is the information transfer.

Each instance of this collection is an event in which an object which is under the control of some agent has that control transferred to another agent different from the first. 'Control' here means the ability on the part of an agent to determine 'what happens to' another object or agent. In the case where the thing controlled exhibits 'activities' or 'behavior', this extends to a nontrivial ability to direct or circumscribe some important aspect of the behavior that the object or agent exhibits. An agent with independent goals and purposes that is under 'control' is not able to freely pursue those goals and purposes: i.e., the 'controller' is able to exert some kind of significant and immediate check upon the 'controlled' agent's capacity to pursue its goals at whim.

Thus, instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Agreement" class="cyc_term">Agreement</a> will usually involve some instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Obligation" class="cyc_term">Obligation</a>. Instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Agreement" class="cyc_term">Agreement</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Obligation" class="cyc_term">Obligation</a> differ, however, in that an <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/obligatedAgents" class="cyc_term">obligatedAgents</a> is responsible for the truth of all of the propositions over which the obligation holds. In an <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Agreement" class="cyc_term">Agreement</a> some agents may not be so responsible. For example, in a loan agreement, the borrower agrees to give the lender back the money, but the borrower is the only <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/obligatedAgents" class="cyc_term">obligatedAgents</a> for the repayment. Note that <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/obligatedAgents" class="cyc_term">obligatedAgents</a> need not be among the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/agreeingAgents" class="cyc_term">agreeingAgents</a> in the agreement that involves or generates the obligation. Moreover, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/agreeingAgents" class="cyc_term">agreeingAgents</a> aren't always <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/obligatedAgents" class="cyc_term">obligatedAgents</a>; e.g., Wanda and Paul may agree that Paul alone is obligated to do some task.

Examples include the development of General Motors' business plan for 2003, an individual sales call on a particular customer, printing the 2003 Yellow Pages directory for the Los Angeles area, selling a newspaper, and designing and manufacturing a new memory chip. Though there is a great deal of overlap between this collection and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/CommercialActivity" class="cyc_term">CommercialActivity</a>, they are not the same. Firstly, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/BusinessEvent" class="cyc_term">BusinessEvent</a> does not include any purely social or recreational events (whereas a weekend swap-meet, for example, would be an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/CommercialActivity" class="cyc_term">CommercialActivity</a>). Secondly, not all activities carried out in pursuit of business interests involve buying or selling (consider head-hunting, for example).

Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Culture_Specification" class="cyc_term">Culture_Specification</a> is a broad -- often extremely broad and heterogenous -- set of norms and descriptive claims that is pervasively, and somewhat unconsciously, followed within some broad social grouping. Many social groups follow a distinctive <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Culture_Specification" class="cyc_term">Culture_Specification</a>, including many nationalities (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/PersonTypeByNationality" class="cyc_term">PersonTypeByNationality</a>), ethnicities (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/PersonTypeByEthnicity" class="cyc_term">PersonTypeByEthnicity</a>), and professions (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/PersonTypeByOccupation" class="cyc_term">PersonTypeByOccupation</a>). Typically, the elements of a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Culture_Specification" class="cyc_term">Culture_Specification</a> include norms for social behavior and assignments of social significance to actions (see, for example, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/EtiquetteOfCultureFn" class="cyc_term">EtiquetteOfCultureFn</a>). But cultures may also specify actions or beliefs related to various other subjects, including religious practice, artistic style and activity, and sociological phenomena. The process of learning of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Culture_Specification" class="cyc_term">Culture_Specification</a> usually begins at a young age, and results in its elements becoming largely internalized. Some elements of a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Culture_Specification" class="cyc_term">Culture_Specification</a> -- e.g., aspects of the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/NaturalLanguage" class="cyc_term">NaturalLanguage</a> spoken -- may not be directly accesssible to consciousness even in principle. A <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Culture_Specification" class="cyc_term">Culture_Specification</a> emerges from and is sustained by the activity of agents, and may go out of existence (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/TemporallyExistingThing" class="cyc_term">TemporallyExistingThing</a>).

SystemV System V operating system part The collection of things that are best thought of as parts of other things, and about which we might have something useful to say. Think of table legs, sleeves of garments, etc. This is just to make it easier to search through all this part stuff when someone needs to do so.

PhysicalPartOfObject A <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/FluidCirculating" class="cyc_term">FluidCirculating</a> is a moving event in which pieces of the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/objectMoving" class="cyc_term">objectMoving</a> are moving, but the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/objectMoving" class="cyc_term">objectMoving</a> is not necessarily undergoing rotational (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Movement_Rotation" class="cyc_term">Movement_Rotation</a>) or translational motion (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Movement_TranslationEvent" class="cyc_term">Movement_TranslationEvent</a>) as a whole. E.g. the parts of a whirlpool are moving with respect to one another but the whirlpool as a whole may or may not be changing its location. Tornadoes also undergo <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/FluidCirculating" class="cyc_term">FluidCirculating</a>s. Note that if the tornado as a whole were undergoing motion it would be necessary to either make the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/FluidCirculating" class="cyc_term">FluidCirculating</a> event also an element of some appropriate specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/MovementEvent" class="cyc_term">MovementEvent</a> or to reify another event (which was not a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/FluidCirculating" class="cyc_term">FluidCirculating</a>) to describe its motion as a whole. circulation FluidCirculating A collection of events.

Instances of this collection range roughly from objects the size of pinheads to objects the size of aircraft carriers. human-scale object HumanScaleObject conducting FluidFlow-Complete Instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/FluidFlow_Complete" class="cyc_term">FluidFlow_Complete</a> represent the motion of a piece of fluid from being entirely `at' (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/objectFoundInLocation" class="cyc_term">objectFoundInLocation</a>) the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/fromLocation" class="cyc_term">fromLocation</a> to entirely `at' the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/toLocation" class="cyc_term">toLocation</a>. Thus when we say, `The river flowed from West Egg to East Egg' we don't mean the same thing as `The entire river left West Egg and went to East Egg'. Therefore, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/FluidFlow_Complete" class="cyc_term">FluidFlow_Complete</a> is not the correct motion event to use. Instead, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/FluidFlow_Translation" class="cyc_term">FluidFlow_Translation</a> is. However, if we wish to say, `Joe pumped all the water out of the bilge and into the ocean' we do mean the same thing that <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/FluidFlow_Complete" class="cyc_term">FluidFlow_Complete</a> entails. PhysiologicalProcess The collection of events in which an organism does (typically unconsciously) some process which involves alteration of that agent's physiological state. A <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/PhysiologicalProcess" class="cyc_term">PhysiologicalProcess</a> is normally one that is done by organisms (or parts of organisms) in the course of living.

T1Cable ManipulatingFoodOrDrink A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/MaterialHandling" class="cyc_term">MaterialHandling</a>. Each instance of this collection is an event which involves moving <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/FoodOrDrink" class="cyc_term">FoodOrDrink</a> around, and doing things to it physically. One example is moving food from plate to mouth (note that once the food has been placed in the mouth this particular event is over). Animals generally use paws or hands to manipulate food. If the 'performer' is a machine (a self-standing electric mixer, for example, or a blender) hands aren't needed, except to prepare the machine to do the activity. food manipulation A subcollection of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Specification" class="cyc_term">Specification</a>. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/CulturalConvention_Specification" class="cyc_term">CulturalConvention_Specification</a> is the specification of an activity or practice that is a regular part of certain cultures, but not of others (though see below). Practices specified by <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/CulturalConvention_Specification" class="cyc_term">CulturalConvention_Specification</a>s are learned, and typically involve a particular form of activity that is not fully necessitated by biological need or physical environment (e.g., eating is not a convention, but eating with certain utensils may be.) To be an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/CulturalConvention_Specification" class="cyc_term">CulturalConvention_Specification</a>, a specification must be widely followed within a culture by persons in applicable circumstances. Note that a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/CulturalConvention_Specification" class="cyc_term">CulturalConvention_Specification</a> is an abstract standard for behavior (mentally encoded by culture members), rather than the collection of actions conforming to this standard.

(If there are universals in learned human behavior, they can be considered parts of a general human culture). Also note that <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/CulturalConvention_Specification" class="cyc_term">CulturalConvention_Specification</a> includes both norms of behavior -- see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/EtiquetteOfCultureFn" class="cyc_term">EtiquetteOfCultureFn</a> -- and customary forms of activity deviations from which would not be considered offensive. cultural convention CulturalConvention-Specification (MakingAvailableFn Food) victualing Fun things like pumping gas and changing oil; the collection of things people do to keep their automobiles running AutoMaintenance car maintenance LockInOfCommitment lock-in The collection of all lock-ins.

Since each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/PurposefulPhysicalAction" class="cyc_term">PurposefulPhysicalAction</a> is also an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/CompositePhysicalAndMentalEvent" class="cyc_term">CompositePhysicalAndMentalEvent</a>, each instance has both a mental and a physical component. Driving a car would be an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/PurposefulPhysicalAction" class="cyc_term">PurposefulPhysicalAction</a> since it involves mental and physical functioning on the part of the performing agent and is done purposively. Crashing a car, conversely, would not normally be an instance (unless the driver purposefully caused the crash).

This (set of) spatial relationship(s) "characterizes" the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Configuration" class="cyc_term">Configuration</a>'s type in the sense that any group of objects of the appropriate types standing in that relationship (or those relationships) correspond to a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Configuration" class="cyc_term">Configuration</a> of that type; and each of these objects, in turn, is said to be "configured" (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/configuredObjects" class="cyc_term">configuredObjects</a>) in the (individual) <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Configuration" class="cyc_term">Configuration</a>.

Note that a static situation involving an <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Agent_PartiallyTangible" class="cyc_term">Agent_PartiallyTangible</a> might be a configuration, but only so long as it's just the agent's spatial relationship(s) to other partially tangibles that matters (see e.g. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/WearingSomething" class="cyc_term">WearingSomething</a>); static situations in which an agent's agency or sentience is crucial, on the other hand, are not configurations (cf. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/InterAgentSituation" class="cyc_term">InterAgentSituation</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/InterAgentSituation_TwoAgent" class="cyc_term">InterAgentSituation_TwoAgent</a>). configuration the collection of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ChatRoom" class="cyc_term">ChatRoom</a>s in which users chat about sports. sports chat room SportsChatRoom The collection of events in which something gets fixed. repairing SimpleRepairing terrorist training (TrainingForFn TerroristAct) The collection of instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/HoldingWithOneHand" class="cyc_term">HoldingWithOneHand</a> in which the hand is putting considerable pressure on the object being held.
