Mx4rvc81PpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA A collection of events and a subset of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/WeightChangingProcess" class="cyc_term">WeightChangingProcess</a>. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/WeightLosingProcess" class="cyc_term">WeightLosingProcess</a> is an event in which the weight of the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/objectOfStateChange" class="cyc_term">objectOfStateChange</a> decreases. This would happen, for instance, as a result of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/DietingForWeightLoss" class="cyc_term">DietingForWeightLoss</a>. weight loss WeightLosingProcess will have melted off have slimmed losing weight thin slenderized reduced had thinned weight losses reduces have slenderized slims down have melted off will have slimmed down will melt off slims slim down will slim down slenderizes slenderize has reduced lose has weighted lose will have weighted will reduce will have thinned has slimmed had slimmed down has melted off reduce loses weight slimmed lose weight lose have weighted melts off reducing had lost weight have slimmed down has slimmed down has thinned had slimmed lose weights will have lost weight lose will weight will lose weight lost weight have reduced melting off slim have thinned thins will have reduced thinning slenderizing will have slenderized will slim will have slimmed has lost weight had reduced has slenderized melted off will thin slimmed down have lost weight lose weighting slimming down had melted off will slenderize melt off had slenderized lose had weighted slimming thinned lose weighted http://www.w3.org/2006/03/wn/wn20/instances/synset-reduce-verb-19 A collection of events; a subcollection of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/WeightLosingProcess" class="cyc_term">WeightLosingProcess</a>. In each <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/SweatingOffWeight" class="cyc_term">SweatingOffWeight</a>, someone loses weight by sweating. sweating off SweatingOffWeight 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 A collection of events and a subset of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/WeightChangingProcess" class="cyc_term">WeightChangingProcess</a>. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/WeightLosingProcess" class="cyc_term">WeightLosingProcess</a> is an event in which the weight of the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/objectOfStateChange" class="cyc_term">objectOfStateChange</a> decreases. This would happen, for instance, as a result of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/DietingForWeightLoss" class="cyc_term">DietingForWeightLoss</a>. weight loss WeightLosingProcess A collection of events and a subset of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/WeightChangingProcess" class="cyc_term">WeightChangingProcess</a>. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/WeightLosingProcess" class="cyc_term">WeightLosingProcess</a> is an event in which the weight of the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/objectOfStateChange" class="cyc_term">objectOfStateChange</a> decreases. This would happen, for instance, as a result of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/DietingForWeightLoss" class="cyc_term">DietingForWeightLoss</a>. weight loss WeightLosingProcess A collection of events and a subset of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/WeightChangingProcess" class="cyc_term">WeightChangingProcess</a>. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/WeightLosingProcess" class="cyc_term">WeightLosingProcess</a> is an event in which the weight of the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/objectOfStateChange" class="cyc_term">objectOfStateChange</a> decreases. This would happen, for instance, as a result of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/DietingForWeightLoss" class="cyc_term">DietingForWeightLoss</a>. weight loss WeightLosingProcess WeightChangingProcess weight changing process A collection of events. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/WeightChangingProcess" class="cyc_term">WeightChangingProcess</a> is an Event which has, as one of its significant effects, changing the weight of some object. Note that a change in weight is one of the kinds of intrinsic change which an object can undergo, that is, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2009/04/07/concept/en/WeightChangingProcess" class="cyc_term">WeightChangingProcess</a> is a subset of IntrinsicStateChangeEvent.
