These terms are not guaranteed to refer to the same concept across time but are guaranteed to be consistent within a particular OWL export. Use 'cycAnnot:externalID' for unambiguously referring to a concept across OWL exports or across Cyc inference engines. diluting Mx4rwBmE6ZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA Diluting The collection of all mixing events of two or more stuff types in which the concentration of the focal ingredient on one of the inputs commmitted (considered the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/objectActedOn" class="cyc_term">objectActedOn</a>) is reduced without the resulting stuff becoming a significantly different type of stuff. has cut have diluted thin had cut has thinned had thinned cuts thins have thinned thinning will cut will dilute will have thinned cut cutting dilutes will have cut had diluted will thin have cut dilute diluted has diluted thinned will have diluted http://www.w3.org/2006/03/wn/wn20/instances/synset-reduce-verb-1 http://www.w3.org/2006/03/wn/wn20/instances/synset-dilute-verb-1 seeAlsoURI See Also URI <code>(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/seeAlsoURI" class="cyc_term">seeAlsoURI</a> <b>THING</b> <b>URI</b>)</code> means that a description of the resource identified by URI is likely to contain information pertinent to THING. This predicate is roughly equivalent to rdfs:seeAlso. prettyString Pretty String (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/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/2009/04/07/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. TemporalStuffType A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/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><b>COL</b></code> is temporally stuff-like just in case every purely temporal part (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/timeSlices" class="cyc_term">timeSlices</a>) of an instance of <code><b>COL</b></code> is itself an instance of <code><b>COL</b></code>, unless it is a temporal part of a temporal granule of <code><b>COL</b></code> (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/granuleOfTemporalStuff" class="cyc_term">granuleOfTemporalStuff</a>). <p/> More precisely, for a collection <code><b>COL</b></code> to be an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/TemporalStuffType" class="cyc_term">TemporalStuffType</a> it is both a necessary and sufficient condition that for any <code><b>OBJ1</b></code> and <code><b>OBJ2</b></code> (with <code><b>OBJ2</b></code> at or above <code><b>COL</b></code>'s temporal granularity level), if <code>(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/isa" class="cyc_term">isa</a> <b>OBJ1</b> <b>COL</b>)</code> and <code>(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/timeSlices" class="cyc_term">timeSlices</a> <b>OBJ1</b> <b>OBJ2</b>)</code>, then <code>(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/isa" class="cyc_term">isa</a> <b>OBJ2</b> <b>COL</b>)</code>. <p/> Consider <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/WalkingOnTwoLegs" class="cyc_term">WalkingOnTwoLegs</a>. Take an arbitrary instance <code><b>WALK</b></code> of this collection (say Miss America 2000's victory walk down the runway and back); and then take an arbitrary time-slice <code><b>SUBWALK</b></code> of <code><b>WALK</b></code> that subsumes at least one instance of (the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/granuleOfTemporalStuff" class="cyc_term">granuleOfTemporalStuff</a> for <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/WalkingOnTwoLegs" class="cyc_term">WalkingOnTwoLegs</a>) <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/TakingAStep" class="cyc_term">TakingAStep</a> (say her trip back from the end of the runway). <code><b>SUBWALK</b></code> is itself an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/WalkingOnTwoLegs" class="cyc_term">WalkingOnTwoLegs</a>. So <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/WalkingOnTwoLegs" class="cyc_term">WalkingOnTwoLegs</a> is an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/TemporalStuffType" class="cyc_term">TemporalStuffType</a>. See <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/TemporalObjectType" class="cyc_term">TemporalObjectType</a> for the disjoint notion of being temporally object-like. type of temporally stuff-like thing diluting Diluting The collection of all mixing events of two or more stuff types in which the concentration of the focal ingredient on one of the inputs commmitted (considered the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/objectActedOn" class="cyc_term">objectActedOn</a>) is reduced without the resulting stuff becoming a significantly different type of stuff. diluting Diluting The collection of all mixing events of two or more stuff types in which the concentration of the focal ingredient on one of the inputs commmitted (considered the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/objectActedOn" class="cyc_term">objectActedOn</a>) is reduced without the resulting stuff becoming a significantly different type of stuff. A collection of events: an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/CreationTypeByMethod" class="cyc_term">CreationTypeByMethod</a> and a specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/PhysicalCreationEvent" class="cyc_term">PhysicalCreationEvent</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/Incorporation_Physical" class="cyc_term">Incorporation_Physical</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/MaterialHandling" class="cyc_term">MaterialHandling</a>. In each instance of this collection two or more substances are combined to form a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/Mixture" class="cyc_term">Mixture</a>. Notable specializations include <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/Diluting" class="cyc_term">Diluting</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/Aerosolizing" class="cyc_term">Aerosolizing</a>. Mixing mixing TypicalHumanActivityType-AtLeastOnce typical human activity type at least once The collection of specializations of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/HumanActivity" class="cyc_term">HumanActivity</a> such that persons typically are involved in (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/actors" class="cyc_term">actors</a>) at least one instance of the activity type in their lifetime. diluting Diluting The collection of all mixing events of two or more stuff types in which the concentration of the focal ingredient on one of the inputs commmitted (considered the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/objectActedOn" class="cyc_term">objectActedOn</a>) is reduced without the resulting stuff becoming a significantly different type of stuff.
