Group A collection of temporal objects. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjmoJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Group</a> is a composite object made up of one or more individual objects or events. A group is related to each of its members by the predicate <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVj-BJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">groupMembers</a> (q.v.). Note that instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjmoJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Group</a> are <i>not</i> collections. A group has temporal extent and might have spatial location, while a collection is timeless and nonspatial. It is of course possible to define a collection parallel to any given group, so that the instances of the collection are exactly the group-members of that group; e.g. each toe on my left foot (and nothing else) is both an instance of the collection of my left toes and a member of the group of toes on my left foot. But that group (of my left toes) is a spatiotemporal thing while the correlated collection (of my left toes) is not. Similarly, if a certain flock of pigeons is considered as having a location, a spatial extent, and a time of existence, then the flock is being considered a <i>group</i> and not a collection. Finally, unlike a collection, a group cannot be empty, but must have <i>at least one</i> group-member. As a default, a group whose group-members all are instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVi255wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SomethingExisting</a> is itself an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVi255wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SomethingExisting</a>, and a group whose group-members all are <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViADZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Event</a>s is itself an <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViADZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Event</a>. Instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjmoJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Group</a> include <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwQBayZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">QueensGuard</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwPfo55wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ThreeWiseMen</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwPfnmpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SantasReindeer</a>, and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVitTpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">InternationalCommunity</a>. group of things
