For example, (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/textureOfObject" class="cyc_term">textureOfObject</a> BobsHair <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Greasy" class="cyc_term">Greasy</a>) means that Bob's hair has a greasy texture. Mx4rvVjeE5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA Texture Of Object SensoryAttributeDescriptionPredicate A collection of predicates that relate objects to a sensory attribute. This category is distinguished from <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/PhysicalFeatureBinaryPredicate" class="cyc_term">PhysicalFeatureBinaryPredicate</a> because instances of this spec describe relations which implicitly assume a perceiver, i.e., things have sensory attributes in virtue of being perceived and the nature of the attribute is somewhat perceiver dependent and even dependent upon the perceptual conditions. Sensory attributes are perceiver dependent in a way that other physical attributes are not. Locke's distinction between secondary and primary qualities is relevant to the distinction alluded to here. sensory attribute description predicate textureOfObject A <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/SensoryAttributeDescriptionPredicate" class="cyc_term">SensoryAttributeDescriptionPredicate</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/QuantitySlot" class="cyc_term">QuantitySlot</a>, and (typed) specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/isa" class="cyc_term">isa</a>.

For example, (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/textureOfObject" class="cyc_term">textureOfObject</a> BobsHair <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Greasy" class="cyc_term">Greasy</a>) means that Bob's hair has a greasy texture. Texture Of Object A collection of collections. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Texture" class="cyc_term">Texture</a> is a collection of instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/SpatialThing_Localized" class="cyc_term">SpatialThing_Localized</a> such that each has the same (main exterior) texture. Instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Texture" class="cyc_term">Texture</a> include <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Rough" class="cyc_term">Rough</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Smooth" class="cyc_term">Smooth</a>, and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Slimy" class="cyc_term">Slimy</a>. texture Texture A subcollection of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/EnduringThing_Localized" class="cyc_term">EnduringThing_Localized</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/TemporalThing" class="cyc_term">TemporalThing</a>. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/PartiallyTangible" class="cyc_term">PartiallyTangible</a> has a tangible (i.e. material) part and a temporal extent (i.e. it exists in time). It might or might not also have an intangible part. For example, a particular copy of a book is made of matter, has temporal extent, and also has an intangible part: the information content of the text markings on its pages. tangible thing PartiallyTangible temporal existence predicate A <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/PredicateType" class="cyc_term">PredicateType</a> and a specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/TemporallyQualifiableRelation" class="cyc_term">TemporallyQualifiableRelation</a>. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/TemporalExistencePredicate" class="cyc_term">TemporalExistencePredicate</a> is the collection of predicates that entail the existence of at least some of their arguments throughout the entire time in which the relation holds of those arguments. More precisely, <code>PRED</code> is a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/TemporalExistencePredicate" class="cyc_term">TemporalExistencePredicate</a> if and only if it is "contemporary" in at least one of its argument-places (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/contemporaryInArg" class="cyc_term">contemporaryInArg</a>). That is, there is at least one integer <code>I</code> (1 <= <code>I</code> <= <code>N</code>) such that, if <code>(PRED ARG1 ... ARGN)</code> holds at a time-index <code>TIME</code> (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/mtTimeIndex" class="cyc_term">mtTimeIndex</a>), then the temporal extent of <code>ARGI</code> subsumes <code>TIME</code> (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/temporallySubsumes" class="cyc_term">temporallySubsumes</a>). Examples of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/TemporalExistencePredicate" class="cyc_term">TemporalExistencePredicate</a>s are <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/lengthOfObject" class="cyc_term">lengthOfObject</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/thinksAbout" class="cyc_term">thinksAbout</a>.

Texture Of Object A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/ScalarIntervalSlot" class="cyc_term">ScalarIntervalSlot</a> (q.v.). Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/QuantitySlot" class="cyc_term">QuantitySlot</a> is a binary predicate that is used to attribute a property to a thing, by relating it to a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/Quantity" class="cyc_term">Quantity</a> (q.v.) of some sort. Instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/QuantitySlot" class="cyc_term">QuantitySlot</a> include <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/lengthOfObject" class="cyc_term">lengthOfObject</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/en/levelOfMorale" class="cyc_term">levelOfMorale</a>.
