TennisBall tennis ball Pretty String (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwLSVCpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" 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/concept/Mx4rwLSVCpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" 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. prettyString product ManufacturedGoods The collection of all <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVkH_ZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Artifact</a>s that are made or processed in large-scale industrial operations for distribution (normally sale) to agents outside the manufacturing organization. This includes manufactured stuff, e.g. Finlandia vodka; refined ore, e.g. iron; otherwise procesed natural material, e.g. cut diamonds, as well as manufactured objects. This collection excludes handicrafts; privately made stuff, e.g. moonshine; and other artifacts produced by one or a few people on a small scale.

Most <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjqGZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Ball</a>s are <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvgDAn5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Sphere</a>s (or at least <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rzCm-HubNQdaO7ZipW2UPxw" class="cyc_term">Spheroid</a>s), but some, such as instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVj_R5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">FootballBall_American</a>, are not.

Instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4roOCJgqgyQdePhq6ip3adDw" class="cyc_term">ArtifactTypeByFunction</a> are mutually unique with respect to the full set of the primary intended uses of their instances. Examples include <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVkKypwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">DessertFood</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjfFJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Sofa_PieceOfFurniture</a>. Counter-examples include <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwKTkJpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">FountainPen</a> (which has the same primary function as its genls, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViISpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">WritingPen</a>) and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjQHZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">FurniturePiece</a> (specs of which have different primary uses). There may be cases where two instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4roOCJgqgyQdePhq6ip3adDw" class="cyc_term">ArtifactTypeByFunction</a> (PROD1 and PROD2) are related by (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViBDpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">genls</a> PROD1 PROD2); but this will only happen in cases where instances of PROD1 have some additional primary function(s) to those of PROD2. For example, the collections <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjfFJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Sofa_PieceOfFurniture</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjGZZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SofaBed</a> are both instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4roOCJgqgyQdePhq6ip3adDw" class="cyc_term">ArtifactTypeByFunction</a>, and (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViBDpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">genls</a> <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjGZZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SofaBed</a> <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjfFJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Sofa_PieceOfFurniture</a>) is true.

For example, <code>TERM2</code> is, in the relevant sense, broader than <code>TERM1</code> if any of the following hold: <code>TERM2</code> is a collection that subsumes <code>TERM1</code>; <code>TERM2</code> is a collection that has <code>TERM1</code> as an instance; <code>TERM2</code> is a collection, instances of which have instances of the collection <code>TERM1</code> as parts; <code>TERM2</code> has <code>TERM1</code> as a part; This list of reasons for why <code>(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rZOAVeiYGEdqAAAACs2IMmw" class="cyc_term">broaderTerm</a> TERM1 TERM2)</code> could hold is not exhaustive, but it should give a good indication of how general the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rZOAVeiYGEdqAAAACs2IMmw" class="cyc_term">broaderTerm</a> relation actually is.

Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rpPHhAOB1EdqAAAACs6hRXg" class="cyc_term">SpatiallyDisjointObjectType</a> is a collection C of spatial things (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjpUZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SpatialThing</a>), where each of the spatial things in C is spatially disjoint with the other spatial things in C. For example, the collection <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjaoJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Dog</a> is an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rpPHhAOB1EdqAAAACs6hRXg" class="cyc_term">SpatiallyDisjointObjectType</a>, since dogs do not spatially overlap. Even pregnant dogs do not spatially overlap the pups they bear; rather, pregnant dogs contain their unborn pups.
