### General Social Constants

#$ableToControl able to control **GAFs NOT REVIEWED**

> A predicate that relates an agent to some cotemporal thing s/he is able to control. More precisely, (#$ableToControl AGENT THING) means that AGENT is in a position of being able to either (i) influence (i.e. prohibit, enable, or constrain) some significant set of behaviors (or actions or functionings) of THING or (ii) influence some significant set of behaviors of other agents with respect to THING. For example, Wilbur Post might be able to control some range of his horse Ed's actions in virtue of having the (physical and legal) power to force Ed to walk down this bridle path, stay in that corral, and so on; and Wilbur might also be able to control Ed in the sense of deciding who has access to him (e.g. deciding who may see Ed and who may ride him). The controlled THING might be a non-living possession of AGENT's or, as in the above example, another _agent_. Since one's ability to control something is rarely comprehensive, (#$ableToControl AGENT THING) can hold despite the fact there are many behaviors/actions/functionings of THING's that are beyond AGENT's control. Thus, although Wilbur might be able to control which paths Ed is ridden on, where he sleeps, and what he eats, Wilbur might not be able to control such things as Ed's breathing rate, tail swishing, or what he does in the privacy of his stall. Note that AGENT's being #$ableToControl THING does not entail that AGENT actually exercises this ability. Note also that AGENT's merely being able to influence _some_ behavior of THING (or some behavior of another agent's with respect to THING) is not sufficient for her being #$ableToControl THING; AGENT must be able to influence a significant set or range of THING's behaviors (or of other agents' behaviors with respect to THING) in order to be able to control THING. (Unavoidably, the notions of being able to do something and of a significant range of a thing's behaviors/actions/functionings are both rather vague.) For describing events in which an agent actually wields control over something, consider using #$ControllingSomething and #$objectControlled.

#$SocialBeing social agents

> A specialization of #$IntelligentAgent. Each instance of #$SocialBeing is an intelligent agent whose status as an agent is acknowledged within some social system, and who is capable of playing certain social roles within that system. Note that in many (but not all) cases, a #$SocialBeing will have certain rights and responsibilities associated with his/her/its status within the relevant social system. For agents who are granted rights and responsibilities under some legal system, see the specialization #$LegalAgent. Other notable specializations of #$SocialBeing are #$Person and #$Organization.

#$affiliatedWith affiliate (symmetric binary predicate) (cotemporal predicate) (irreflexive binary predicate)

> (#$affiliatedWith AGENT1 AGENT2) means that AGENT1 and AGENT2 are somehow affiliated. This is a broad relation, involving at least the voluntary entry into an understood formal or semi-formal relationship, which entails certain rights and obligations, on the part of at least one of the affiliated agents. For example, the agents might be business partners, kin, employer/employee, parent-company/subsidiary, or organization/member.

#$acquaintedWith acquaintance (reflexive binary predicate) (cotemporal predicate) (extensional representation predicate)

> This predicate relates an agent to other agents with whom s/he is acquainted. (#$acquaintedWith AGENT1 AGENT2) means that AGENT1 is acquainted with AGENT2 in the sense that AGENT1 has met, has knowingly come into physical contact with, or has knowingly communicated (bi-directionally) with AGENT2. Typically, this means that AGENT1 is aware of some facts about AGENT2 and can recognize AGENT2 by appearance, voice, or some other physical characteristic. Note that #$acquaintedWith is _not_ symmetric: it is possible for AGENT1 to be #$acquaintedWith AGENT2 and not vice versa. This would be the case (e.g.) if AGENT2 is nonsentient (cf. #$SentientAnimal) or comatose, and thus incapable of recognizing AGENT1. Another (arguable) example of asymmetric acquaintance is where AGENT1 is introduced to AGENT2 while (the former is) in disguise and using a faked identity.

#$Workplace workplaces

> #$Workplace is a specialization of #$PhysicalContactLocation. Each instance of #$Workplace is a place where people customarily work. #$Workplace includes as instances offices, restaurant buildings, construction sites, agricultural sites, the #$SpaceNeedle, and so on. Some places may be #$Workplaces only during a small part of their existence (a piece of residential property while the house is being built, for example); some may almost always be #$Workplaces (grocery store buildings, office buildings, smithies, hospitals, and so on.).

> direct instance of: #$ActorSlot

#$owns property

> A predicate that relates #$Agents to things that they own. (#$owns AGENT OBJECT) means that AGENT has full ownership of OBJECT. Thus, AGENT enjoys #$FullUseRights (q.v.) over OBJECT. OBJECT might be a physical artifact, a parcel of land, an animal, a piece of intellectual property , or anything else that can be owned. Note that, although ownership often involves control, #$owns is _not_ a specialization of #$controls, as there are many exceptions. For example, when the owner of a building leases it to someone, the former gives up almost all control over the buiding for the term of the lease.

#$providerOfService service provider

> The predicate #$providerOfService is used to relate a service event to the agent that provides it.

Typically, AGENT acts in order to serve the #$recipientOfService (q.v.) in SERVICE.

#$socialParticipants participant **COMMENT NOT REVIEWED** **GAFs NOT REVIEWED**

> (#$socialParticipants SO AGT) means that the #$Agent AGT participates --- in some social role --- in the #$SocialOccurrence SO. In every culture there are many specializations of this #$ActorSlot; some #$SocialOccurrences have very elaborate role structures (e.g., a lawsuit in 1990's America), and some are fairly simple (e.g., rudely bumping into someone.) See #$SocialOccurrence.

#$participantStatus participant status **COMMENT NOT REVIEWED** **GAFs NOT REVIEWED**

> (#$participantStatus AGT EV STAT) means that the #$Agent AGT participates in #$Event EV, and has the #$EventParticipantStatus STAT in that #$Event. Examples of such status are #$ConfirmedStatus, #$DeclinedStatus, #$NoShowStatus, etc. The status of the participant can change over time; e.g., when a passenger with an airline reservervation shows up and gets a boarding pass, or when they actually surrender the boarding pass and get on board the aircraft.

### Residence

#$residesInDwelling resided

> A #$CotemporalObjectsSlot and specialization of #$permanentLocationOfObject that relates a person or other sort of animal to a constructed shelter in which s/he/it lives or resides. (#$residesInDwelling RESIDENT SHELTER) means that RESIDENT resides in SHELTER. That is, SHELTER is the place where RESIDENT usually sleeps, spends much of its time, lays its eggs; a place it cleans and maintains and repairs; a place it defends against intrusion; etc. A person or animal might reside in more than one dwelling at a given time. For example, a person might #$residesInDwelling some tent during a camping trip, and at the same time it would still be true that she #$residesInDwelling her apartment or house. Note that the dwelling in which a person #$residesInDwelling is not necessarily her legal domicile, though of course it often will be. Note also that #$residesInDwelling does not subsume parasitical or symbiotic relationships, in which one animal lives in or on another. The more general predicate #$objectFoundInLocation would be the appropriate one, for example, for a case of a flea living on a dog. See also #$occupants and #$residesInRegion.

#$residesInRegion residence (cotemporal predicate) (extensional representation predicate) (binary predicate) **COMMENT NOT REVIEWED** **GAFs NOT REVIEWED**

> This predicate relates a person or other sort of animal to a geographical region in which s/he/it resides. (#$residesInRegion RESIDENT REGION) means that RESIDENT lives or resides primarily in REGION. This obviously does not entail that RESIDENT is physically in REGION at any particular time, since people are often away from their places of residence. Note that a given person/animal (even with respect to a particular time) is normally related by #$residesInRegion to many different regions, where each such region is a sub- or super-region of some of the others. For example, Karen currently resides in Austin, in Texas, in the United States, in North America, and so on. See also #$residesInDwelling, #$hasHabitat, and #$ethnicity.

#$languageSpoken language spoken **COMMENT NOT REVIEWED** **GAFs NOT REVIEWED**

> (#$languageSpoken AGENT NATLANG) means that the #$IntelligentAgent AGENT speaks the natural human language NATLANG at least somewhat fluently. The language must be speakable by humans, as are English, Latin, or Japanese, but not LISP, C or LINCOS. See also #$NaturalLanguage.

#$fieldsOfCompetence fields of competence

> (#$fieldsOfCompetence PERSON FIELD) means that the #$Person PERSON has actual competence and knowledgability in the #$FieldOfStudy FIELD, or at least is recognized by peers and colleagues in FIELD as being competent in FIELD. See also the related predicates #$expertRegarding and #$domainsOfSpecialization.

#$fieldsOfActivity fields of activity

> A specialization of #$fieldsOfCompetence. (#$fieldsOfActivity PERSON FIELD) means that PERSON is or was active in the #$FieldOfStudy FIELD. Usually, PERSON has made, is making, or intends to make some contribution to FIELD. E.g. (#$fieldsOfActivity #$Thales #$MilesianSchool) holds.

#$representsAgentToAgent represents agent to agent **COMMENT NOT REVIEWED** **GAFs NOT REVIEWED**

> (#$representsAgentToAgent AGENT1 AGENT2 AGENT3) means that in in dealings with AGENT3, AGENT1 represents AGENT2. For example, if Joe Terwilliger is a salesman working for IBM, and is their sales rep to NASA, then we could represent that by asserting to Cyc (#$representsAgentToAgent JoeTerwilliger IBM #$NASA).

### Social Class

#$socialClass-Coll social class - coll **COMMENT NOT REVIEWED** **GAFs NOT REVIEWED**

> (#$socialClass PRSN CLS) means that in the surrounding culture, the #$Person PRSN has the #$SocialClass-Lifestyle CLS. As the name suggests, this predicate indicates PRSN's approximate social status as determined by his or her style of life -- quality of life, access to material goods and services, and social associations. It may also depend on a cultural non-material system of social rank, based on birth, office, manners, vocal accent or other factors. E.g., (#$socialClass #$DonaldTrump #$UpperClass) was true even when he lost his fortune and was (temporarily) bankrupt; and (#$socialClass #$BillGates #$UpperMiddleClass) was true, at least for a while, after he became a billionaire. This is a good example of a predicate whose precise meaning, and associated heuristic rules, vary quite a bit from context to context, such as from country to country, from century to century, etc.

### Competition

#$competingAgents competitor (actor slot) (role) (extensional representation predicate)

> (#$competingAgents COMPETITION AGENT) means that the AGENT is a competitor in the contest or competition COMPETITION, and thus has a chance of being a winner of the competition. This excludes many participants of such events, such as referees, judges, and spectators. If the COMPETITION is a team competition, the individual team members are also excluded.

The #$arg2Format of this predicate is #$SetTheFormat to allow for the uncommon (but far from `very rare') case where there is a tie for first place and two or more agents are awarded that prize.

#$eventHonors honoree (role) (extensional representation predicate)

> (#$eventHonors OCCURRENCE AGENT) means that the #$Agent AGENT is honored or commemorated by the #$SocialOccurrence OCCURRENCE. If AGENT is a living #$Person, then (#$eventHonors OCCURRENCE AGENT) usually implies that AGENT is present at OCCURRENCE. Note that this is the appropriate predicate for relating a #$Funeral to the deceased person for whom the #$Funeral is in honor.

### Interests

#$positiveVestedInterest positive vested interest

> (#$positiveVestedInterest AGENT THING) means that the #$Agent AGENT has a positive interest in the #$TemporalThing THING. If THING is an instance of #$SomethingExisting, then (#$positiveVestedInterest AGENT THING) will generally imply that AGENT has a positive interest in the preservation or flourishing of THING, and that AGENT will be adversely affected if THING is not preserved, or does not flourish. If THING is an instance of #$Event, then (#$positiveVestedInterest AGENT THING) will generally imply that AGENT stands to benefit from the outcome of THING. Note that the restriction of THING to #$TemporalThing means that it would be incorrect to use this predicate to say (e.g.) that Douglas Adams has a #$positiveVestedInterest in the number 42. Rather, what he has a vested interest in is public popularity and faddism focusing on that number. A fad is a #$TemporalThing, but the number 42 isn't.

> (#$negativeVestedInterest AGT OBJ) means #$Agent AGT has a negative interest in the object OBJ or in the good fortune of OBJ, and a positive interest in its misfortune. Generally, AGT will be helped or pleased by the destruction, diminution, weakening, or retarding of OBJ, and will be hurt or displeased if OBJ is preserved or enhanced. See #$positiveVestedInterest.

### Life Stages

#$LifeStageType types of life stage

> A collection of collections and a specialization of #$ExistingObjectType. Each instance of #$LifeStageType is a collection all of whose instances are organisms that share a specific variety and level of biological and/or social development. For example, one instance of #$LifeStageType is the collection #$HumanChild, which has as its instances all human children. Other instances of #$LifeStageType include #$Larva, #$FloweryPlant, and (#$BacterialSporeFn #$Anthrax-Bacterium).

#$HumanInfant infants **COMMENT NOT REVIEWED** **GAFs NOT REVIEWED**

> The collection of #$Persons in the infant stage of life. Functionally, this ends when the infant learns to walk (even just toddle) and/or talk (even a few words)... or, at latest, when the person's age greatly exceeds that at which most people develop those skills. Generally, this means that it spans the period from birth to about 12 - 18 months old. One of the subsets of this collection is #$NewbornBaby.

> The collection of all #$Persons in the childhood stage of life. Functionally, this ends when the child begins to take responsibility for themselves, work, have children of their own,... or, at latest, when the person's age greatly exceeds that at which most people reach those milestones. Generally, this means that it spans the period from birth to teenage years. This is highly dependent on context, of course; childhood in Shakespeare's culture ended around age 12.

#$HumanAdult human adults **COMMENT NOT REVIEWED** **GAFs NOT REVIEWED**

> The collection of human beings old enough to participate as independent, mature members of society. Since different societies have different age or maturity requirements for people to be considered adults, different axioms in various society-specific microtheories express these requirements. For most modern, Western, middle-class,... purposes, e.g., the current view is that anyone over 18 is an adult. In many cultures, adulthood occurs when one reaches puberty. Adulthood is #$contiguousAfter childhood; that is, a #$Person is a #$HumanChild for a while, and then is a #$HumanAdult.

### Social Events

#$SportsEvent sports events

> A specialization of both #$GameEvent and #$SportsCompetition. Each instance of #$SportsEvent is an entire sports competition at the end of which either a winner is declared or a draw is declared. For instance, an entire sandlot baseball game would be a #$SportsEvent, but the first inning of that game would not, since the first inning is a proper part of the game, and since neither a winner nor a draw is declared at the end of the first inning. Note that several #$SportsEvents can be organized into a #$SportsFormalCompetition (q.v.); for example, the 2001 World Series was a #$SportsFormalCompetition consisting of seven #$SportsEvents. Specializations of #$SportsEvent include #$BaseballGame, #$TennisMatch, and #$FootballGame-American.

> A specialization of #$EntertainmentEvent. Each instance of this collection is a public or private performance with artistic or entertainment value (#$performedBy instances of #$Artist-Performer) arranged in order for some audience to witness and enjoy it. Examples include #$PlayPerformances, street performances, #$BalletDancePerformances, #$MovieShowings. Note: Movies are included even though the performers aren't performing at the same point in space-time as the performance is occurring. But still photographs are not included, since one would not generally call the viewing of a photograph an instance of #$EntertainmentEvent.

#$EntertainmentEvent entertainment events **COMMENT NOT REVIEWED** **GAFs NOT REVIEWED**

> A specialization of #$CulturalEvent and #$ServiceEvent. Each instance of this collection is an activity performed by one or more agents primarily to amuse, entertain or otherwise divert others. Every instance of #$EntertainmentEvent necessarily has among its subevents both an instance of (#$PerformingFn #$EntertainmentEvent) and an instance of (#$AttendingFn #$EntertainmentEvent). It is thus distinguished from #$RecreationalActivity: a #$RecreationalActivity need not involve any #$Entertainers, whereas an instance of #$EntertainmentEvent will always involve both an entertainer, and an entertainee. Note: This collection is more general than #$EntertainmentPerformance, which is a specialization of it. For instance, #$JokeTelling is a specialization of #$EntertainmentEvent, since it involves both an entertainer and an entertainee, Such an event, however, can occur under informal circumstances, and need not be a formal performance. Thus #$JokeTelling is not a spec of #$EntertainmentPerformance.

This avoids problems that the old assertion (#$isa #$EntertainmentEvent #$DefaultDisjointScriptType) was creating (e.g. preventing an #$EntertainmentEvent from also being a #$Movement-TranslationProcess (since (#$isa #$Movement-TranslationProcess #$DefaultDisjointScriptType) was also true.)

I.e., (#$acquaintances X Y #$SimpleContactAcquaintance) implies (#$acquaintances Y X #$SimpleContactAcquaintance); that is, if X has met Y, then Y has met X.
