AgentOrange agent orange ArtificialMaterial artificial material A collection of substances; a subcollection of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVkH_ZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Artifact</a>. An instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVkCIpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ArtificialMaterial</a> is a portion of artificial stuff that was intentionally made by some agent(s), such as <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVj0lpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Plastic</a> or <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVioTZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SweetNLow</a>. Since <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVkCIpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ArtificialMaterial</a>s are intentionally produced, this class does not normally include materials which are merely <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjCXJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">byProducts</a> or <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjCGpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">wasteProducts</a> of an intentional process. However, what is a by-product at one time or in one context may be a useful material that would count as an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVkCIpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ArtificialMaterial</a> in another. ExistingStuffType type of temporally and spatially stuff-like thing A collection of collections, and a specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVitN5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TemporalStuffType</a>. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVny6pwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ExistingStuffType</a> is a collection of things (including portions of things) which are both temporally and spatially stufflike. Division in time or space does not destroy the stufflike quality of the object (down to a certain granularity). <code>(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViBBJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">isa</a> STUFFTYPE <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVny6pwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ExistingStuffType</a>)</code> implies both (i) for most instances <code>STUFF</code> of <code>STUFFTYPE</code>, for any proper physical part (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4r8a2smPXcQdiEoJhcx65EiQ" class="cyc_term">properPhysicalDecompositions</a>) <code>PART</code> of <code>STUFF</code>, <code>PART</code> is also an instance of <code>STUFFTYPE</code> and (ii) for all instances <code>STUFF</code> of <code>STUFFTYPE</code>, for most proper physical parts <code>PART</code> of <code>STUFF</code>, <code>PART</code> is also an instance of <code>STUFFTYPE</code>. For example, every piece of wood is temporally stufflike: if W-168 is a piece of wood during 1996, then it's also a piece of wood for the one-minute time-slice 9:05am 7/7/96. It's also spatially stufflike: if we take that piece of wood W-168 and cut it in half, we have two things which are both pieces of wood. Since every piece of wood is both temporally and spatially stufflike, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVimxJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Wood</a> is an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVny6pwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ExistingStuffType</a>.
