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. Other instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rpPHhAOB1EdqAAAACs6hRXg" class="cyc_term">SpatiallyDisjointObjectType</a> include <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwVGrQ5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">LatitudeLine</a>, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvW4n1pwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CompactDisc_Audio</a>, and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwR7UWZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PlanetaryBody</a>.

FireExtinguisher A device that produces a mixture of gas and liquid to extinguish fire. fire extinguisher MechanicalDevice mechanical device A specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjHL5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PhysicalDevice</a>. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjVgZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MechanicalDevice</a> is a physical device which has at least one part that moves with respect to another one of its parts. Thus a spoon is not an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjVgZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">MechanicalDevice</a>, but a pair of scissors is, as are more complex devices such as vacuum cleaners and the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwQws45wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SpaceShuttleChallenger</a>. 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 A <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvh8SuLPZQdeVlt8feflcZg" class="cyc_term">DeviceTypeByFunction</a>. Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4r2N9snqt1QdiZvKjw7ApqpQ" class="cyc_term">FirefightingEquipment</a> is a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjHL5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PhysicalDevice</a> that is used primarily for fighting fires (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVkChZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ExtinguishingAFire</a>) or activity closely related thereto, e.g. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwQCKDpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">FireRescueTransportation</a>.

Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvWXYgJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ExistingObjectType</a> is a specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVj27ZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PartiallyTangible</a> (q.v.). Moreover, each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvWXYgJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ExistingObjectType</a> is a collection that is temporally stuff-like (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVitN5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TemporalStuffType</a>) but physically-spatially object-like (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVirnZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ObjectType</a>) -- i.e. object-like with respect to some physical-spatial part-whole predicate (e.g. some specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4r8a2smPXcQdiEoJhcx65EiQ" class="cyc_term">properPhysicalDecompositions</a>). Consider the collection <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwJaXepwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">BookCopy</a>. <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwJaXepwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">BookCopy</a> is a specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVj27ZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PartiallyTangible</a>. Further, <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwJaXepwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">BookCopy</a> is temporally stuff-like: any one of the <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvWn4OZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">timeSlices</a> of a given copy <code>COPY</code> of (say) "Moby Dick" is still a copy of "Moby Dick". (Most collections of tangible objects are temporally stuff-like in this way.) But <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwJaXepwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">BookCopy</a> is spatially object-like: if we take a scalpel and slice <code>COPY</code> into ten pieces, each piece is not a copy of "Moby Dick". So <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwJaXepwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">BookCopy</a> is an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvWXYgJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ExistingObjectType</a>.

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.
