Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/WearingSomething" class="cyc_term">WearingSomething</a> is an arrangement of tangible objects, one of which is wearing the other(s). Typically the wearer is a living person or animal, although surrogates are possible (e.g., mannequins, dolls, or corpses). Objects worn are instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/SomethingToWear" class="cyc_term">SomethingToWear</a> (q.v.).

Configuration A specialization of both <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/StaticSituation" class="cyc_term">StaticSituation</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/SpatialThing_Localized" class="cyc_term">SpatialThing_Localized</a>. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Configuration" class="cyc_term">Configuration</a> is a static situation consisting of two or more <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/PartiallyTangible" class="cyc_term">PartiallyTangible</a> things of certain types standing in a certain type of spatial relationship (or set of relationships). 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>. For example, a knot configuration might correspond to a particular intertwining of end-segments of two <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/CordlikeObject" class="cyc_term">CordlikeObject</a>s, or to the intertwining of several segments of a single <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/CordlikeObject" class="cyc_term">CordlikeObject</a>. For configurations like the latter, whose characterizing relationship(s) hold between different parts of a single salient object, see the specialization <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ConfigurationOfComplexObject" class="cyc_term">ConfigurationOfComplexObject</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 WearingSomething instance of wearing something A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Configuration" class="cyc_term">Configuration</a>.

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. 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.
