Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4ropDJ5oVoQdeADpzQMiIrgg" class="cyc_term">WaterTransportationVehicle</a> is a device which is both self-powered and controlled in some fashion by a user, and is used for transportation on or below the surface of water. Specializations of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4ropDJ5oVoQdeADpzQMiIrgg" class="cyc_term">WaterTransportationVehicle</a> include the collections <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwQCb9JwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">CruiseShip</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViMW5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Submarine</a>, but not collections of non-<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjUvZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SelfPoweredDevice</a>s such as <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjW8JwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Sailboat</a> or <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvgEYsJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Rowboat</a>. cruiser The collection of warships which are relatively large and fast. Cruisers are usually smaller than battleships, but larger than destroyers. Cruiser SpatiallyDisjointObjectType type of object whose instances do not physically overlap A collection of collections and a specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVirnZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ObjectType</a> (q.v.). 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>. An important specialization of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rpPHhAOB1EdqAAAACs6hRXg" class="cyc_term">SpatiallyDisjointObjectType</a> is <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjlE5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">SpatiallyDisjointRegionType</a> (a collection of specializations of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvViACZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">GeographicalRegion</a>, such as <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVjnZ5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">City</a> and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rwT-n15wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">TrueContinent</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 collection of collections. 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>.

ExistingObjectType type of object A collection of collections; a subcollection of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rejmDbrF_QdeIENT1qpbYzQ" class="cyc_term">ArtifactTypeByGenericCategory</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. ArtifactTypeByFunction artifact type by function Wikipedia Article URL (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rNv0nbm4TTjOp7yhmnzOyqg" class="cyc_term">wikipediaArticleURL</a> THING URL) means that in <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rtqXA6OC8QdiWC72DuLJdUw" class="cyc_term">Wikipedia_WebSite</a> THING is described by an article located at URL wikipediaArticleURL seeAlsoURI <code>(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4riWVFR6HJSpaEaHrcWS3MSA" class="cyc_term">seeAlsoURI</a> THING URI)</code> means that a description of the resource identified by URI is likely to contain information pertinent to THING.

Also included are various types of military hardware used to kill, destroy, or immobilize. Note that in the case of weapons which are 'fired' or otherwise distributed, both the launcher and the unit of ammunition are considered <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVj8V5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Weapon</a>s in this sense. E.g. a bow, an arrow, a missile launcher, an ICBM, a weapons-grade sprayer, a cloud of mustard gas, a gun, and a bullet are all <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rvVj8V5wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Weapon</a>s.

Weapon weapon BT broaderTerm <code>(<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/concept/Mx4rZOAVeiYGEdqAAAACs2IMmw" class="cyc_term">broaderTerm</a> TERM1 TERM2)</code> means that <code>TERM2</code> is broader than <code>TERM1</code>, in an extremely general sense of "broader". 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. cruiser The collection of warships which are relatively large and fast.
