Upper Cyc/HPKB IKB Ontology with links to SENSUS
Version 1.1, 3 November 1997
This ontology was converted from the Cyc (r) upper level
ontology distributed to participants of the High Performance Knowledge
Base (HPKB) program of the
Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency Information System Office
(DARPA). It contains about 3000
concepts, english definitions, and a few basic relationships between
them. The full Cyc knowledge contains more complete definitions for
many of these concepts, as well as many others. Cycorp has offered this upper level
ontology to a broader community in part to enable a greater degree of
interoperation among knowledge based systems that share a common
ontology.

The ANSI X3T2 Committee on Information Interchange has established an
ad hoc Committe on
Ontology Standards, which is actively working on
adopting a Reference Ontology for information interchange. This
merged upper ontology also represents the current draft of the X3T2
committee. Please communicate with the committee via email at onto-std@ksl.stanford.edu.
The mailing list ontology@cs.umbc.edu provides a forum for discussing
ontology related issues. People interested in participating should
send a message to ontology-request@majordomo.cs.umbc.edu with an empty
subject line and a single line in the body of the form: subscribe
ontology email, where email is the appropriate email
address for mail to be delivered to.
Conversion notes:
- The contents of this ontology is available in a flat file of CycL
assertions at
http://www.ksl.stanford.edu/onto-std/flat-file-merged-ontology.txt.
- Where possible, we have converted Cyc terms into
the corresponding terms in the Open Knowledge Base
Connectivity (OKBC)
knowledge model. For example, the Cyc term genls has been translated
into the OKBC term subclass-of.
- The Cyc MixedCaseNames have been translated into the OKBC
hyphen-seperated-names. The original name will be retained as the text
string value of the cyc-name-of slot.
- The distributed version of the Cyc upper level contained a small
number of functional terms. New object constants (frames) have been
introduced for each of these functional terms. These new objects are
instances of the class cyc-compound-term. Although not strictly
necessary, this conversion allows a broader range of systems to deal
with the contents of the upper level ontology.

An instance of Artifact is a tangible which was more or less intentionally created by an Agent (or a group of Agents working together) to serve some purpose or perform some function. By `created', we don't require that the matter itself be created, it is often just the result of some sort of assemblage or modification process, such as a wooden flute that's been whittled from a tree branch, a sawhorse that's been put together out of boards and nails, a coin that's been minted by embossing or by melting liquid silver into a mold, etc.
Let's consider some positive and negative examples.
In addition to the obvious human artifacts (buildings, tools, textiles, power lines), this collection includes certain sorts of things made by Animals, such as bird nests, termite mounds, and beaver dams.
Something which just barely squeaks through the intended meaning of this concept is Yale-University. In addition to the abstract legal entity, it consists of a set of physical buildings, furnishings, etc. By contrast, an organization that had no headquarters building, equipment, tangible property, etc. would not be an artifact. Similarly, a fictional character such as Tom Sawyer is not an artifact (in the context of the story, Tom is not an artifact because he is a real boy; in the context of the real world, Tom is not an artifact because he has no tangible component whatsoever.)
While some artifacts may be alive, or contain living subparts, we do not intend this collection to encompass all organisms which resulted from normal biological reproductive processes. Your child is not an artifact.
If you do an oil painting of a house that is an artifact, but much more borderline is what you get if you take a rock and just paint it a solid color, say white. In general that won't be an artifact unless it serves some purpose, such as marking the shoulder of a roadway, but more questionable cases are if the purpose of the white rock is just `to be sold as art' or `to look pretty.' The white rock might thus be an artifact in certain contexts, but not in others.
Not every instance of Path-Generic (q.v.) is necessarily an instance of Artifact. For example, some channels used for navigation may not be artifacts, because even though they are marked with human artifacts (i.e., channel markers) as locations where ships may safely travel, the channel itself may have been a naturally occurring pre-existing thing -- e.g., the English-Channel. If a Channel-Wide-Strait were produced or maintained only by constant dredging, it might count as an artifact. By contrast, each Canal, such as Suez-Canal, is almost certain to be an Artifact."))

Because the body of an organism is an active `doer' in its instances of Physiological-Condition, including any Injury-Condition (which is the physical process of a body sustaining an injury and responding by healing or deteriorating), an organism is related to events of those kinds with Bodily-Doer rather than Bodily-Acted-On. By contrast, organisms involved in instances of Drug-Therapy (which refers to the effect of a drug on the patient) or Incurring-An-Injury (which refers to the event in which an organism gets injured, rather than the process of its being in an injured and hopefully healing state) should be related to events of those types with Bodily-Acted-On."))

Because this predicate is asymetric and since effect (p2) can not temporally precede cause (p1), Causes may not be used to express mutual causation, e.g. feedback loops for which it may be said that two events (probably more process-like) cause each other.

If I say `Fred owns a Camaro', what I really mean is that some Sub-Abstrac (i.e., a time-slice) of Fred, over some time interval INT (e.g., 1993-1995), owns some Sub-Abstrac of that Camaro, which exists over that very same time interval INT.

See the comment for Microtheory for a detailed explanation of what the `assumptions' of a mt are, as opposed to its `content'. In brief, it means that all the `content' assertions of M assume that P is true. Another way of thinking of this is that one is `in' context M only if all its domain assumptions are true. Another way of thinking of this is that the various `content' assertions of M only apply to objects that satisfy all its Domain-Assumptions. Yes, that means that the `domain of quantifiers' (For-All and There-Exists) is limited to the universe of such objects. So if it's true in M that (For-All ?x Q), and if we lift this axiom to another theory M2 that does not make the domain assumption P, then the axiom becomes (For-All ?x (:=> P Q)).
Note: Actually, what becomes true in M2 is slightly more complicated, namely: (For-All ?x (:=> (:and P1 P2 P3...) Q)), where P1, P2, P3,... are all the domain assumptions of M which are not implied by the domain assumptions of M2.
Note: Domain assumption propositions --- in this case P --- must have a special format: P must contain the free variable ?U, and this ?U represents `some term which is talked about in M'. The idea is that one could have a domain assumption that said `if ?U is a person, ?U must have been born after 1950', or which said `if ?U is the performer of an event, then ?U is a person' etc. For example: (:=> (:instance-of ?U Physical-State-Change-Event) (:instance-of ?U Creation-Or-Destruction-Event)) is one of the Domain-Assumptions of the Naive-State-Change-Mt context. It says that, in that context, physical state changes of an object (e.g., melting or boiling) are viewed as creations and destructions, in which elements of Entity come into or go out of existence, rather than viewing them as events which preserve entityhood."))

For example, to say that every person is a mammal, we could assert: (For-All ?X (:=> (:instance-of ?X Person) (:instance-of ?X Mammal))). In addition, CycL follows a convention that allows For-All to be omitted; that is, when no explicit quantifier is used, seemingly unbound variables inside formulas are assumed to be universally quantified. With that convention, the sample assertion could be written more compactly as: (:=> (:instance-of ?X Person) (:instance-of ?X Mammal)).
[Developer-level footnote: There are many `flavors' of quantification `on the market' these days; here is how the Cyc system currently handles axioms that involve For-All:
When processing an FI-ASK about whether an assertion of the form (For-All VAR FORM) is true or not, Cyc determines extensionally whether or not any known VAR (anything in the knowledge base) could make FORM false.
When processing an FI-PROVE about whether an assertion of the form (For-All VAR FORM) is true or not, Cyc tries to construct an intensional proof (at least at a default-true level) that FORM must be true regardless of what VAR is ever inserted therein.
When processing an FI-ASSERT in which a user or program tells Cyc that an assertion of the form (For-All VAR FORM) is true, Cyc records it intensionally so that it can later serve as part of an intensional proof, when some future FI-PROVE request is processed.]"))

To illustrate, let's consider a predicate with a lower Arity, say (Mother CHILD MOM), which says that the mother of CHILD is MOM. The Arg2-Format for Mother should be Single-Entry, since an animal can have only one biological mother.
(2) If the Arg3-Format of PRED is Set-The-Format, then there may be any number of assertions with different terms in the third argument position, but sharing the same values for arguments 1, 2, 4, and 5.

Each element of Illocutionary-Force is a specialized component of a communication; its function is to indicate how the speaker in a communication wants the agent(s) whom s/he is addressing to understand, and respond to, the situation--i.e., the state of affairs--described in that communication. Isolating the `illocutionary force' of a communication allows us to characterize the intention of a speaker; e.g., whether s/he means to assert that the described state of affairs in fact holds; or to express a desire that such a state of affairs hold; or to command someone to make that state of affairs hold; or to offer to make the state of affairs hold. S/he may even intend to make something true by stating it (e.g., ``I name this ship `The Intrepid'.'').
Usually, apprehending a speaker's intention is important for understanding what s/he means and what s/he intends the hearer to do. Although illocutionary forces can be represented propositionally, they are not generally communicated so explicitly. For example, questions in English are typically communicated by inverting subject-object word order and raising one's intonation at the end of the utterance. (The intonation marker so strongly indicates a question that it may suffice without the inverted word order, as in `You are going tonight' uttered with a rising intonation.) Commands in English typically have an (unexpressed) understood subject and perhaps a forceful tone. In every culture and language there are conventional sets of commonly used illocutionary forces which would be the subsets of Illocutionary-Force for that culture; e.g., in English, they include Inform contexts, Request, Offer, Promise, and Query.
Note: although in this comment Illocutionary-Force is explained in terms of utterances, it applies to communication generally; so `speaker' and `listener' should be broadly interpreted to mean, respectively, any Sender-Of-Info and Recipient-Of-Info. See also Communicating, Communication-Act-Single. The portion of a communication's information content that represents the illocutionary force is indicated using ComponentIF."))

For example, take the predicate Height-Of-Object, which relates an object to its vertical length. Although we suppose that in reality there is only a single distance that is the height of some one particular object, our measurement systems are in practice less precise--and typically we need a measurement only within a certain tolerance. For example, in measuring the Height-Of-Object of a person, usually a measurement to the nearest inch or centimeter will do. Or we may be even less detailed in our descriptions, perhaps caring only whether someone is more than four feet tall, or `Tall enough to ride' on an amusement park ride. By allowing an Interval-Entry Format (qq.v.) in the second argument of the measuring predicate, we are telling Cyc that it's okay to describe the (e.g.) Height-Of-Object in several different ways, with varying levels of precision, SO LONG AS all of the measurements asserted for the same object `overlap'. For example, it is consistent to say both that Jenny is 4'10'' tall, between four and five feet tall, and that she is `Tall enough to ride' the Dodgems (provided that `Tall enough to ride' is an interval whose minimum is at 4'10'' or lower). Even though there is only one height of a person in reality, using an Interval-Based-Quantity-Slot allows us to represent that height in many different ways, avoiding contradictions while still checking for consistency. For example, asserting both that Jeff's Height-Of-Object is 5'9'' and in the range 4.5-5.5 feet tall is an inconsistency."))

Consider X, where (:instance-of X Water). If we add some other substance(s) to X, to the point where the mixture acquires some salient characteristic(s) different from Water while retaining all the main properties, then we should assert (Main-Constituent X W), where W is the original water -- i.e., (:instance-of W Water) -- and X is the whole new mixture of W with some other stuff(s). Suppose we add enough enough other stuff that the physical properties of the mixture become significantly different from those of water; then we should assert only (Constituents X W).
Isa - Use Isa if X would commonly be referred to as `water', including cases in which a small number of minor characteristics are different due to some admixture.
Examples (arguably, 3 and 4 are borderline cases):
1. An instance of (Pure-Fn Water) Isa Water.
2. An instance of Water-Ingestible Isa Water (but may have trace constituents).
3. An instance of Pool-Water Isa Water (but has some Chlorine as a salient Constituents).
4. An instance of Sea-Water Isa Water (but has some Salt-Na-Cl as a salient Constituents).
Main-Constituent - Use Main-Constituent when X contains other substances besides water, would NOT commonly referred to as `water', and yet has MOST of the material properties of water. As a rule, most of the properties of the Main-Constituent transfer to the substance it's a part of. Often such substances have at least one important and/or perceptible characteristic (due to admixture) that is quite different from the properties of water.
Examples:
1. An instance of Lemonade is NOT called `water' but has water as a Main-Constituent. It tastes quite different from water. It has nutritional (caloric) value. It is a human-made beverage.
2. An instance of Coffee-Beverage is NOT called `water' but has water as a Main-Constituent. It tastes quite different from water. It contains caffeine. Also, a specific inference about coffee's (lack of) transparency should override the transparency which would otherwise be inferred from the material properties of its Main-Constituent.
3. Aqueous hydrochloric acid has many of the properties of its main constituent, water -- for example, transparency, viscosity, density, freezing point, etc. But it also has the very important difference that it is highly acidic, caustic, etc. -- and attributing to it water's potability would be disastrous.
Constituents - Use Constituents when X is NOT commonly referred to as `water' and has FEW properties of water, even though X contains water.
Examples:
1. An instance of (Solid-Fn Gelatin) is NOT called `water', and though it has water among its Constituents, gelatin has very few of the properties of water.
2. An instance of Concrete is NOT called `water'; though it has water among its Constituents, it has none of the salient characteristics of water.
3. An instance of Mud is NOT called `water' and has few characteristics of water, though water is among its Constituents. Its Main-Constituent is some portion of Soil."))

A link in a path system is one of the paths in the system whose end points are nodes in the system and that have no other nodes along them. For each link LINK in SYS, there is a unique pair {X, Y} of different nodes in SYS such that (Link-Between-In-System LINK X Y SYS) and (Link-Between-In-System LINK Y X SYS) hold, and for two points (nodes) in SYS, there could be several different ('parallel') links between them. No point in SYS that is not a node can be an end point of a link. If node X is an end-point of LINK and (Link-Between-In-System LINK X Y SYS) holds, then (Point-On-Path X LINK) holds. A link in SYS may have many points on it other than its end-points, but these points cannot be nodes in SYS (another way to put this is to say that there are exactly two nodes on a link, though there can be any number, greater than 1, of points on the link). Only nodes in SYS can be 'intersection' point in SYS (see Junction-In-System), which implies that there is, in the system SYS, no point on a link LINK between X and Y that is an 'intersection' point of LINK and another link or a loop. When defining a path system, it is convenient (and also quite safe) to start with a name of the system, say SYS1 (with an assertion (:instance-of SYS1 Path-System)), and enter the names of links in SYS, say Link1, Link2 etc. (with assertions (:instance-of Link1 Path-Simple) etc.), and then only enter assertions of the form (Link-Between-In-System LINK X Y SYS1) for each link in SYS1 and its end points X and Y--the rules related to a path systems will generate assertions like (Node-In-System X SYS1), (Point-In-System X SYS1), (Link-In-System LINK SYS1) and (Path-In-System LINK SYS1) etc. If one later needs to add something else to the system, say a point A on a link LINK other than its end nodes X and Y, he/she may further enter (Between-On-Path A X Y LINK) and (Point-In-System A SYS1) without changing anything else.

Some locomotion events are also transportation events, e.g. when someone is walking while carrying something else.
Note: Elements of Locomotion-Event may be `non-homogeneous' (by contrast, each Locomotion-Process is `homogeneous.')

Due to the way the canonicalizer currently (Nov 96) handles meta-assertions, rather than simply asserting M(A), one must distribute the meta-assertion over the results of canonicalization. That is one must assert M(a_1), M(a_2)...M(a_n). Consider the following example: Suppose one wanted to assert
`if a movement occurs then there is a friction Sub-Events, unless the movement is frictionless.'
The way one asserts this is by first asserting the fact without the `unless', i.e.
(ke-assert '(:=>
(:instance-of ?MOV Movement-Event)
(exists ?FRIC
(:and
(:instance-of ?FRIC Friction-Process)
(Sub-Events ?MOV ?FRIC)))) BaseKB)
Because there is an And with two literals on the right hand side of this rule it canonicalizes into two assertions which then become part of the KB. One must next find these assertions as they appear in the KB:
(:=>
(:and
(:instance-of ?MOV Movement-Event)

Now using these one may state the `unless' part of the rule:
(ke-assert

(:=>

:OWN-SLOT-SPECS ((documentation "The collection of all microtheories, or `mts' for short. Microtheories implement contexts in Cyc. Each mt serves to group a set of assertions together that share some common assumptions. Thus each mt can be thought of as having two parts: a corpus of assertions that represent the `content' of the mt, and a separate corpus of assertions that represent the `assumptions' which are being made. E.g., in a normal modern everyday life microtheory, there might be hundreds of content assertions such as `drivers are at least 16 years old', and there might be dozens of assumption assertions about that microtheory's content, such as `all actors are assumed to be law-abiding'. You can think of the assumptions as a set of extra conjuncts on the left hand side (the antecedent or `if'-part) of every content assertion in the mt.
Each assertion in the knowledge base must be explicitly stated to be true in at least one mt. It will then (by inference) also be true in all the more specialized contexts. If something is true in the `life in North America' mt, then it should by default be true in the `life in Canada' mt. I.e., the microtheories are organized into a generalization/specialization lattice by the predicate Genl-Mt (q.v.), just as collections are organized into such a lattice by :subclass-of, and just as predicates are organized into such a lattice by Genl-Preds. Just as a collection may have several incommensurable supersets, so too a microtheory may have several incommensurable Genl-Mts. Just as each and every collection must have some explicitly recorded superset (except for Thing), each and every mt must have some (expicitly recorded) more general mt (except for the BaseKB, which is the most general context, containing universal, timeless truths). Just as a Cyc concept may have multiple incommensurable sets of which it is an element (via Isa), so too a Cyc assertion may be declared to be true in a set of incommensurable mts.
Every query is made in some mt, so the answer you get might very well depend on the mt in which you ask the question. Let's call the current context C1, for the remainder of this paragraph. The only assertions which can be used in C1 to answer the query are those assertions which were explicitly stated to be true in C1 or in some more general mt than C1. But what if you want and need something like assertion P, to answer the question, but P doesn't fit that criterion, though P is true in some other mts that are unrelated to C1? You can `import' or `lift' P into C1, by conjoining to its left hand side (if-part) the various assumptions of a context C999 in which P is known to be true. I.e., what you actually conclude to be true in C1 is an assertion of the form `if a1 and a2 and... then P', where a1, a2,... are the assumptions of a context in which P holds (but which are NOT implied by assumptions of C1). When there are several contexts to choose from, from which to import P, you will usually prefer the context whose assumptions are most similar to C1's assumptions, so there will be few extra conjuncts that need to be inserted in the `lifting' process.
There is an implicit third component to each Microtheory, namely the Cyc terms which are `known about' in that mt. E.g., Lenat is not `known about' in a microtheory set in prehistoric times; Photochemical-Energy-Transduction is not `known about' in a microtheory representing things that a toddler believes to be true; etc. Unlike the content and the assumptions, however, there is no need to explicitly collect into one list all the terms which are `known about'. Rather, one could compute such a list by looking at all the terms which are mentioned anywhere in the content assertions of the mt.
Note that Microtheory is itself a `first-class object', as is each and every element of that collection --- e.g., Commercial-Buying-Mt, World-Geography-Mt, US-Healthcare-Mt, Human-Social-Life-Mt, etc. The assertions about a Microtheory are just like any other Cyc assertions.
Note that one important predicate we haven't mentioned here yet is the one that says `assertion P is true in microtheory M'. That predicate is Ist. Thus: (Ist M P).
Note that another important predicate we haven't mentioned here yet is the one that says `microtheory M has the proposition P as a domain assumption'. Thus: (Domain-Assumptions M P)."))

So are meta-predicates such as My-Creator: e.g., suppose that Doug Lenat added the term FirstUSPresident to the Cyc ontology, and Cyc later is told that that person was George Washington, who in turn is represented by the term George-Washington, which term was NOT entered by Doug but by Karen Pittman; it would be incorrect to substitute equals for equals [that is, to substitute George-Washington for FirstUSPresident] in the assertion (My-Creator FirstUSPresident Lenat) and conclude (My-Creator George-Washington Lenat), since Doug did not enter the latter term into Cyc's ontology. Thus, meta-predicates such as My-Creator are also modal relationships. The same applies to functions; e.g., if we had a function such as MyCreatorFn, then (MyCreatorFn FirstUSPresident) would not have the same value as (MyCreatorFn George-Washington)."))

P(?x0 ... ?xn)

(Except-For [term] Q(?x0))
states that, in situations where assertion Q would apply to a variable
?x0, the conclusion is allowed `except for' the situations where [term]
is the binding for ?x0. To be well-formed, Q must be a rule with
exactly one free variable.
By definition, Except-For is merely syntactic sugar:
(Except-For [term] Q(?x0))
<=>
(Except-When (equals ?x0 [term]) Q(?x0))
Since an Except-When statement is a meta-statement about some rule
Q(?x0 ... ?xn), the statement is not well-formed if Q(?x0 ... ?xn) is
not already an assertion in the KB. Also, strictly speaking, P and Q in
the Except-When merely must share some variables rather than all
variables as it's been written above.
These constructs replace `abnormal' at the EL (epistemological level). Old assertions of the form:
(:=>
P(?x0 ... ?xn)
(abnormal R(?x0 ... ?xn) Q(?x0 ... ?xn)))
become:
(Except-When

The predicate `abnormal' has not actually gone away, but was modified for use as the HL (Heuristic Level) implementation of Except-When. Like Term-Of-Unit, `abnormal' should be viewed as an inference-maintained predicate, and human beings should not be manually asserting things using `abnormal.'

The most familiar case is for numbers, in which orders of magnitudes typically correspond with powers of 10; thus, in any given numerical quantity, the 100's dominate the 10's or the units, which are negligible with respect to the hundreds. In Cyc, we can identify the significant intervals for any measurable property. For example, for Time, some intervals which represent orders of magnitude are: A-Few-Seconds-Duration, A-Few-Minutes-Duration, A-Few-Hours-Duration, A-Few-Days-Duration, A-Few-Weeks-Duration, etc. Similar scales could be identified for any measurable property. Moreover, orders of magnitude for the same measurable property may differ between microtheories; e.g., the orders of magnitude for Time in a `GeologicalTimeMt' would be much larger than those listed above, which are relevant for human perceptions and activities.
Any two attributes which represent amounts of the same kind of property (e.g., time, distance) and which are also elements of Order-Of-Magnitude-Interval will be assumed to differ so substantially in size that the smaller one (and values associated with it) will be insignificant compared to the larger interval (and values associated with it). That is, in general and as a default, if ORD1 and ORD2 are two different elements of Order-Of-Magnitude-Interval which are also elements of the same type of Attribute-Value (e.g., Speed, Mass, Density), then one is negligible with respect to the other. To know which dominates the other, we need additional knowledge about their relative size, e.g., that ORD2 is a Following-Value of (i.e., 'bigger' than) ORD1. See also NegligibleWRT, Following-Value. The predicate Order-Of-Magnitude (q.v.) is used to relate particular quantities to the appropriate element of Order-Of-Magnitude-Interval. For example, two days -- in Cyc, (Days-Duration 2) -- has the Order-Of-Magnitude A-Few-Days-Duration."))

:OWN-SLOT-SPECS ((documentation "The set of all Cyc predicates. Each element of Predicate is a truth-functional relationship in Cyc which takes some number of arguments; each of those arguments must be of some particular type. For example, the predicate :subclass-of, which represents the subset/superset relation between collections, takes two arguments; each argument must be an element of Collection. The numbers and types of arguments to particular predicates are specified by explicit assertions using Arity, Arg1-Isa, Arg2-Isa, etc., Arg1-Genl, Arg2-Genl, etc. Our example :subclass-of has Arity 2, and both its Arg1-Isa and its Arg2-Isa have the value Collection.
Informally, you can think of elements of Predicate as functions that always return either true or false. More formally, when an element of Predicate is applied to the legal number and type of arguments, an expression is formed which is a well-formed formula (wff) in CycL. Such expressions are called `atomic formulas' if they contain variables, and `gafs' (short for `ground atomic formulas') if they contain no variables.
Note that in Cyc, relationships involving opaque contexts (such as modal contexts, propositional attitudes) are NOT included in Predicate@cyc; see Modal-Relationship instead. Quantifiers and logical operators are also excluded from Predicate@cyc; see Quantifier, Logical-Connective.
Currently (July 1996), the KB includes predicates of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 arguments; i.e., Arity may have a value between 1 and 5, inclusive. The KB also includes some predicates of variable arity (see Variable-Arity-Relation). Unary predicates, which take just one single argument (e.g., `-- is a person' or `-- is white', are usually represented in Cyc by elements of Collection or Attribute-Value, rather than of Predicate@cyc; but see also Unary-Predicate.

Every collection is associated with an intensional criterion for membership -- a more or less natural property or group of properties possessed by its members. (The criterion for membership need not, and often will not, be precisely definable in any language.) Collections are thus akin to kinds. In contrast, the elements of a set are not required to be homogeneous in any respect; any things whatsoever may together comprise the members of a set. The second major difference between sets and collections is that no two distinct sets can be co-extensional (be such that every element of one is an element of the other and conversely). Sets are, so to speak, identified on the basis of their extensions. Collections, on the other hand, are identified by their intensional criteria for membership.

There are many sets of sets for which any two member sets either will be disjoint (i.e., have no intersection) or else one will be a subset of the other. For instance, consider the various types (i.e., sets) of animals in the usual Linnaean taxonomy: Vertebrate, Bird, Dog, Mammal, Invertebrate, Person, etc.; Vertebrates and Invertebrates are mutually disjoint, while Bird, Mammal, Dog, and Person are all subsets of Vertebrate. Dog and Person are disjoint with each other, but each of them is a subset of Vertebrate. All of the Linnaean sets, or collections, of animals can be grouped together into one set, or collection, of sets, which in turn is an instance of Sibling-Disjoint-Collection.
It turns out that the real situation --- and the real definition of Sibling-Disjoint-Collection --- is slightly more complicated than that. Consider types of appliances: toasters, cars, shavers, clocks, etc. Is the set of such appliance-types a Sibling-Disjoint-Collection, the way we defined it above, for types of animals? Almost, but not quite. One could have an appliance-type `ClockRadio', which would be the set of all clock radios, and clearly each clock radio is both a clock and a radio, yet neither Clock nor Radio-Receiver is a subset of the other. So if we have some item that purports to be both a clock and radio, that is okay if one of the following three conditions is met:
(1) the collection Clock is known to be a subset of RadioReceiver@cyc;
(2) the collection Radio-Receiver is known to be a subset of Clock@cyc;
(3) there is already defined a collection X which is a subset of both Clock and Radio-Receiver.
More formally, the axiom that defines Sibling-Disjoint-Collection is as follows: SIB is an element of Sibling-Disjoint-Collection if and only if:
(:=>
(:and
(:instance-of C1 SIB)
(:instance-of C2 SIB) (:instance-of C1-EL C1)
(Different C1 C2))
(:or
(:not (:instance-of C1-EL C2))
(exists C3 (:and (:subclass-of C3 C2) (:subclass-of C3 C1) (:instance-of C1-EL C3)))))
That axiom, together with the minimization of :subclass-of, gives us the following characterization of our concept: If we have a collection SIB that is an element of Sibling-Disjoint-Collection, and if we take two elements C1 and C2 of that collection SIB, then each element of C1 which is not an element of a common specialization (C3) of C1 and C2, MUST NOT BE an element of C2.
In cases where there are a few exceptions --- that is, a couple of elements of SIB might have some overlap --- but it is undesirable to explicitly create a new reified constant (like `ClockRadio', above) for that intersection, Cyc allows you to use an explicit mechanism to override the Sibling-Disjoint-Collection constraints for a particular C1 and C2; namely, you would assert to Cyc (Sibling-Disjoint-Exceptions C1 C2).

(Most Cyc users don't need to know the following details, which are supplied only for the curious.)
Suppose we tell Cyc that every animal has a birth date; i.e., for each animal, there exists a date such that the animal was born on that date --- in CycL, (:=> (:instance-of ?x Animal)(exists ?y (Birth-Date ?x ?y))). In response to that CycL formula, Cyc would create a new element of Skolem-Function -- we might call it the `BirthDateFn' -- whose single argument would be an animal and whose resultant value would be a date, namely, that animal's date of birth. Subsequently, Cyc would automatically use the `BirthDateFn' in asserting our rule, eliminating the need for a `thereExists'@cyc. Our formula would thus be rewritten by the system, as follows:
(:=>
(:and
(:instance-of ?x Animal)
(Term-Of-Unit ?y (`BirthDateFn' ?x)))
(Birth-Date ?x ?y)).
See also Term-Of-Unit.
Note: Although our example uses the name 'BirthDateFn' for our skolem function, at this time (4/97), skolem functions are automatically named by the Cyc system using the prefix `SKF-' followed by a number.

[Developer-level footnote: There are many `flavors' of quantification `on the market' these days; here is how the Cyc system currently handles axioms that involve There-Exists:
When processing an FI-ASK about whether (exists VAR FORM) is true or not, Cyc determines extensionally whether or not any known VAR (anything in the knowledge base) satisfies FORM (makes it true.)
When processing an FI-PROVE about whether (exists VAR FORM) is true or not, Cyc tries to construct an intensional proof (at least at a default-true level) that there must exist some value of VAR --- which may or may not already be known in the KB -- for which FORM must be true.
When processing an FI-ASSERT in which a user or program tells Cyc that (exists VAR FORM) is true, Cyc records the assertion intensionally so that it can later serve as part of an intensional proof, when some future FI-PROVE request is processed. It does this by creating a new Skolem-Function (q.v.).
When modus ponens is used with a rule of the form (:=> ANTECEDENT (exists VAR FORM)), and the formula ANTECEDENT is true, then Cyc will generate a new term for VAR, add that to its language, and assert that the new term satisfies FORM.]"))

(Transporter MOVE OBJ) means that OBJ enables or facilitates the conveyance of what is transported (the animals, goods, people, etc. that are the Transportees) in the Transportation-Event MOVE. OBJ itself is an Object-Moving in MOVE, so a catapult is not a Transporter because it doesn't come with its victims. OBJ will generally hold, support, contain, etc. the Transportees throughout the MOVE event. OBJ may or may not supply the motive force in the event MOVE; e.g., a child's wagon, a bicycle, a sleigh, and a paper bag can all be Transporters. More examples are automobiles, wheelchairs, dogsleds, and parachutes. Carrier pigeons are transporters when performing the function for which they were bred; a horse is a Transporter when it is being ridden but a Provider-Of-Motive-Force when pulling a cart or plow or sleigh.Some cautions and refinements, however: (i) although automobiles are Transporters, they should have the more specific role designation of Vehicle (q.v.) because they are also Self-Powered-Devices. When your car is being towed by a towtruck, and you are riding along inside as it gets towed, then in that special case the car is just a Transporter (of you) and the towtruck is the Vehicle of that event. (ii) Another more specific role designation for some Transporters -- those which are Physical-Devices -- is Device-Used (q.v.); e.g., the use of crutches in hobbling, ice skates in skating, and sneakers in walking. See also the Comment on Transportation-Event. (iii) The organism locomoting in a Locomotion-Event may be a Transporter if carrying something other than itself (Carrying-While-Locomoting qv.) .
