Pacing is also associated with expending nervous energy. pacing Pacing Marching The collection of all marching events, in which an animal locomotes by lifting its legs higher than usual and stepping in a stylized, rhythmic fashion. marching exiting a dining room (SubSitTypeWithTypeInRoleFn GoingOutToEat WalkingOnTwoLegs DiningRoom fromLocation) limp Limping Any impaired form of locomotion due to damage to the locomotion appendage used in the locomotion. HumanWalkingProcess process of human walking A <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/HumanCapabilityType" class="cyc_term">HumanCapabilityType</a> and a specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/AnimalWalkingProcess" class="cyc_term">AnimalWalkingProcess</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/WalkingOnTwoLegs" class="cyc_term">WalkingOnTwoLegs</a>. Each instance of this collection is a walking event in which the locomotor is a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Person" class="cyc_term">Person</a>. Specializations include <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Backpacking" class="cyc_term">Backpacking</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/RaceWalkingEvent" class="cyc_term">RaceWalkingEvent</a>. walking to a dining room (SubSitTypeWithTypeInRoleFn GoingOutToEat WalkingOnTwoLegs DiningRoom toLocation) The collection of events in which an animal or similarly-shaped agent walks on two legs. WalkingOnTwoLegs walking on two legs The collection of all locomotion events in which the locomotor uses two feet or foot-like extremities to move along a solid surface. Examples include walking done by humans or birds, as well as locomotion by a dog, bear, etc., on its hind legs. Someone walking on their hands would be a borderline negative example. two-legged locomotion Locomotion-TwoLegged The collection of events in which an animal or similarly-shaped agent walks on two legs. WalkingOnTwoLegs walking on two legs 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>. In entering knowledge, it is almost always possible and preferable to use one of the specializations of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/AtLeastPartiallyMentalEvent" class="cyc_term">AtLeastPartiallyMentalEvent</a>. If an event seems mostly mental in nature, modulo neurons firing and related brain activity, use <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/StrictlyMentalEvent" class="cyc_term">StrictlyMentalEvent</a> or one of its specializations. If it essentially involves both mental and physical activity, see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/CompositePhysicalAndMentalEvent" class="cyc_term">CompositePhysicalAndMentalEvent</a> or <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/PurposefulPhysicalAction" class="cyc_term">PurposefulPhysicalAction</a>. For mental events that are intentionally and purposefully performed, see the specialization <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/PurposefulMentalActivity" class="cyc_term">PurposefulMentalActivity</a>. partially mental event IntelligentAgentActivity A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Action" class="cyc_term">Action</a> (q.v.). Every instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/IntelligentAgentActivity" class="cyc_term">IntelligentAgentActivity</a> is an action, each of whose "doers" (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/doneBy" class="cyc_term">doneBy</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/animateDoer" class="cyc_term">animateDoer</a>s) is either an <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/IntelligentAgent" class="cyc_term">IntelligentAgent</a> or a group of such agents (i.e. a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Group" class="cyc_term">Group</a> all of whose members are intelligent agents). Specializations of this collection include <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/HumanActivity" class="cyc_term">HumanActivity</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Reading" class="cyc_term">Reading</a>. intelligent agent activity The collection of events in which an animal or similarly-shaped agent walks on two legs.

WalkingOnTwoLegs walking on two legs BT <code>(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/broaderTerm" class="cyc_term">broaderTerm</a> TERM1 TERM2)</code> means that <code>TERM2</code> is broader than <code>TERM1</code>, in an extremely general sense of "broader". For example, <code>TERM2</code> is, in the relevant sense, broader than <code>TERM1</code> if any of the following hold: <code>TERM2</code> is a collection that subsumes <code>TERM1</code>; <code>TERM2</code> is a collection that has <code>TERM1</code> as an instance; <code>TERM2</code> is a collection, instances of which have instances of the collection <code>TERM1</code> as parts; <code>TERM2</code> has <code>TERM1</code> as a part; This list of reasons for why <code>(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/broaderTerm" class="cyc_term">broaderTerm</a> TERM1 TERM2)</code> could hold is not exhaustive, but it should give a good indication of how general the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/broaderTerm" class="cyc_term">broaderTerm</a> relation actually is. broaderTerm A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Ambulation" class="cyc_term">Ambulation</a>: the collection of all instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/LocomotionProcess" class="cyc_term">LocomotionProcess</a> in which the locomotor (usually but not necessarily an animal) always has at least one foot in contact with the surface. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Walking_Generic" class="cyc_term">Walking_Generic</a> is therefore disjoint with <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Running" class="cyc_term">Running</a>.

This is not the collection of types of action which can be done by some, but not all, persons. For example, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/WalkingOnTwoLegs" class="cyc_term">WalkingOnTwoLegs</a> is an instance, but <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Juggling" class="cyc_term">Juggling</a> is not, because all normal people can walk but only some can juggle. type of human capability The collection of events in which an animal or similarly-shaped agent walks on two legs. WalkingOnTwoLegs walking on two legs prettyString (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/prettyString" class="cyc_term">prettyString</a> TERM STRING) means that STRING is the English word or expression (sequence of words) commonly used to refer to TERM. The predicate <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/prettyString" class="cyc_term">prettyString</a> is used by the code which generates CycL to English paraphrases, but its applicability is not restricted to this use.
