#$SomethingToWear wearable items **COMMENT NOT REVIEWED** **GAFs NOT REVIEWED**

> A collection of tangible objects. Each instance of #$SomethingToWear is an object that an animal (usually a person) wears on its body, i.e., in a #$WearingSomething event. It is worth remarking that, in such an event, the wearer doesn't have to exert any intentional effort to continue wearing the object. For example, shirts remain on people's torsos, hats stay on heads, rings on fingers; once in place, dog collars stay on dogs, saddles stay on horses. By contrast, a hula hoop is NOT an example of #$SomethingToWear. A borderline case is a #$Purse, which at first blush seems to be something to wear, yet requires carrying by the performer, hence is not a member of this collection. Similarly, a briefcase is not an #$SomethingToWear.

#$wornOn worn on **COMMENT NOT REVIEWED** **GAFs NOT REVIEWED**

> The predicate #$wornOn is used to describe on what part of an individual's body a particular device or garment is worn. (#$wornOn ITEM BODYPART) means that ITEM is being worn on the body part BODYPART. #$wornOn can apply to human or animal wearers, and the items worn can include clothing, jewelry, medical devices, harnesses, carrying devices, wigs--basically, anything which can be attached to or borne upon a body part without intentionally holding or carrying it. See #$SomethingToWear for its subsets of things that can be worn. See also #$wearsClothing, which relates the wearer, rather than the body part, to the item worn.

#$wearsClothing wears clothing **COMMENT NOT REVIEWED** **GAFs NOT REVIEWED**

> (#$wearsClothing ANIMAL ITEM) means that ANIMAL is wearing ITEM, an instance of #$SomethingToWear. The first argument of #$wearsClothing is loosely constrained (by #$PartiallyTangible), so that this predicate may be used to describe mannequins, animals, and other individuals (of whatever kinds) that might wear clothes, as well as humans; however, by default Cyc assumes that an individual who #$wearsClothing is an instance of #$Person. See also #$wornOn, which relates the item worn to the body part on which it is worn.
