LightingUp-SettingSomethingOnFire A collection of events; a subcollection of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/SettingSomethingOnFire" class="cyc_term">SettingSomethingOnFire</a>.

BlowingOut-SettingSomethingOnFire blowing out 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. A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/ObjectType" class="cyc_term">ObjectType</a> (q.v.) whose instances are all and only those collections that are temporally object-like. A collection <code><b>COL</b></code> is temporally object-like just in case it generally holds that any proper purely temporal parts (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 not itself an instance of <code><b>COL</b></code>. More precisely, a collection <code><b>COL</b></code> is an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/TemporalObjectType" class="cyc_term">TemporalObjectType</a> just in case it satisfies the following: For any distinct <code><b>OBJ1</b></code> and <code><b>OBJ2</b></code>, 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 <i>not</i> <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/> For example, none of the proper time-slices of a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/CalendarYear" class="cyc_term">CalendarYear</a> is itself a calendar year. Likewise for <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/TakingAStep" class="cyc_term">TakingAStep</a>. So <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/CalendarYear" class="cyc_term">CalendarYear</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/TakingAStep" class="cyc_term">TakingAStep</a> are both instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/TemporalObjectType" class="cyc_term">TemporalObjectType</a>. Conversely, a proper time-slice of a given <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/Date" class="cyc_term">Date</a> might itself be a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/Date" class="cyc_term">Date</a> (e.g. an hour has minutes and seconds as time-slices); so <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/Date" class="cyc_term">Date</a> is <i>not</i> a temporal-object-type. <p/> See <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/TemporalStuffType" class="cyc_term">TemporalStuffType</a> for the disjoint notion of being temporally stuff-like. temporal object type TemporalObjectType ActionOnObject action on an object A specialization of both <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/Action" class="cyc_term">Action</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/PhysicalEvent" class="cyc_term">PhysicalEvent</a>; the collection of physical events in which some doer acts on an object. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/ActionOnObject" class="cyc_term">ActionOnObject</a> is an action in which both the roles of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/doneBy" class="cyc_term">doneBy</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/objectActedOn" class="cyc_term">objectActedOn</a> (qq.v.) are filled. Examples include someone typing on a keyboard, a dog scratching itself, and a tornado destroying a building. Non-examples include a person dancing and wind blowing. igniting A sub-collection of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/ActionOnObject" class="cyc_term">ActionOnObject</a>. Each instance is the act of setting something on fire or something catching fire. SettingSomethingOnFire LearnedActivityType This is the collection of activities which must first be learned before they can be performed--i.e., before any role which is a specPred of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/doneBy" class="cyc_term">doneBy</a> can be played. learned activity 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. igniting A sub-collection of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/ActionOnObject" class="cyc_term">ActionOnObject</a>. Each instance is the act of setting something on fire or something catching fire. SettingSomethingOnFire PurposefulAction A specialization of both <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/Action" class="cyc_term">Action</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/AtLeastPartiallyMentalEvent" class="cyc_term">AtLeastPartiallyMentalEvent</a>. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/PurposefulAction" class="cyc_term">PurposefulAction</a> is an action consciously, volitionally, and purposefully done by (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/performedBy" class="cyc_term">performedBy</a>) at least one actor. intentional action igniting A sub-collection of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/ActionOnObject" class="cyc_term">ActionOnObject</a>. Each instance is the act of setting something on fire or something catching fire. SettingSomethingOnFire intelligent agent activity IntelligentAgentActivity A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/Action" class="cyc_term">Action</a> (q.v.). Every instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/IntelligentAgentActivity" class="cyc_term">IntelligentAgentActivity</a> is an action, each of whose &quot;doers&quot; (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/doneBy" class="cyc_term">doneBy</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/animateDoer" class="cyc_term">animateDoer</a>s) is either an <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/IntelligentAgent" class="cyc_term">IntelligentAgent</a> or a group of such agents (i.e. a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/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/2009/04/07/concept/en/HumanActivity" class="cyc_term">HumanActivity</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/Reading" class="cyc_term">Reading</a>. human activity HumanActivity A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/AnimalActivity" class="cyc_term">AnimalActivity</a>. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/HumanActivity" class="cyc_term">HumanActivity</a> is a spatially-localized action each of whose &quot;doers&quot; (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/doneBy" class="cyc_term">doneBy</a>) is either a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/HomoSapiens" class="cyc_term">HomoSapiens</a> or a group of humans (i.e. a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/Group" class="cyc_term">Group</a> all of whose members are <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/HomoSapiens" class="cyc_term">HomoSapiens</a> or groups of humans).
