This allows rules without exceptions to never have to incur the
overhead of default reasoning.

Exceptions to rules are written like so:

  (Except-When R(x1,...,xn) Rule001)

and get canonicalized into rules concluding abnormal like so:

  R(x1,...,xn) => (Abnormal(x1,....,xn) Rule001)

Since a different 'abnormality' predicte is needed for every default
rule in the system, we instead handle this uniqueness requirement by
having a single Abnormal predicate which takes the rule in question
as an argument.

Also, the variables over which abnormality is computed is given as a
single list.  This allows Abnormal to be binary rather than
arbitrary arity. "))

Here is some elaboration, to help convey the intended meaning of the basic criterion for agenthood:  It must seem that a kind of decision-making is going on, even if it's down at the `mindless' level of the reflex reaction of a spider leg to heat, or the reflex reaction of a Human Resources Department rejecting an applicant with no formal degree.  It generally `sounds right' or `feels  natural' to assign causality to agents, rather than some larger or smaller entity.

              "A collection of tangible things.  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."))

This is stronger than material implication; i.e., it must also be the case that (:=> p1 p2).  Note that Causes means more than Implies, of course: there is a temporal ordering involved, there is a presumed mechanism of causation, etc.  Unlike Implies, Causes is not reflexive; one would not say that p1 causes p1, even though p1 implies p1.  Another difference between Implies and Causes is that Causes is a predicate, not a logical connective.  Just because (Causes p1 p2) is true that does NOT entail that (Causes (:not p2) (:not p1)) is true.Note that (Causes p1 p2) is generally a more accurate way of talking about causation than saying that some event e1 caused event e2 (which one can do in Cyc, using the predicate Caused-By) since often there are a few key aspects of e1 that caused a few key aspects of e2, and the remaining details of e1 and e2 were, to first order, irrelevant.  Note that, similarly, (Causes p1 p2) is generally a more accurate way of talking about causation than saying that some agent AGT caused something to be true (which one can do in Cyc, using the predicate Causes-Prop) since often there is some specific aspect of the agent, or something they were involved in or did, that is the cause of the proposition's becoming satisfied.  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.  We consider mutual causation to be a different form of causation and should be expressed using some as of yet (Dec 96) unreified relationship."))

              "A collection of collections; a subset of Tangible-Stuff-Composition-Type.  Every instance of Chemical-Compound-Type is a subset of Tangible-Thing whose instances are defined ONLY by their chemical composition, and not by their physical state or any other property.  In Cyc's current representation, Chemical-Compound-Types can be of two varieties:  (1) Collections whose instances are completely uniform with each other in terms of chemical composition; this includes (a) the chemical elements -- such as Carbon, Oxygen, and Hydrogen -- which are instances of Element-Stuff-Type-By-Number-Of-Protons (thus, the latter is a subset of Chemical-Compound-Type), and (b) compounds constituted of more than one substance chemically bonded, e.g., Water, Caffeine, and Iron-Oxide.  (2) Substances which have a general chemical specification, that is, whose instances do not have exactly the same chemical composition but fall within certain specifications, e.g., DNA.  Cyc's current theory includes those cases in Chemical-Compound-Type, though they are arguably borderline.  (Future work may require the creation of type collections to identify various levels of chemical specification, such as `exact formula' or `exact structure'.)
Note: Collections which Cyc does NOT classify as Chemical-Compound-Types include collections of substances which have some component which is of overriding significance in some context, so that in everyday language such substances are frequently referred to by the name of their important component (e.g., `penicillin' applied to a tablet containing penicillin), but which have significant admixtures of other substances.  Our representation distinguishes between the chemical compound (here, instances of Penicillin) and the mixture of substances in a tablet containing some Penicillin for pharmaceutical use.  Thus, Penicillin is an instance of Chemical-Compound-Type, but the collection of tablets containing penicillin and including other ingredients are not.  Also, subsets of Mixture, such as Lemonade, are not instances of Chemical-Compound-Type, because mixtures are determined by their physical state rather than solely by their chemical composition."))

Each Cyc collection is like a set in so far as it may have elements, subsets, and supersets, and may not have parts or spatial or temporal properties.  Sets, however, differ from collections in that a mathematical set may be an arbitrary set of things which have nothing in common (see Set-Mathematical).  In contrast, the elements of a collection will all have in common some feature(s), some `intensional' qualities.  In addition, two instances of Collection can be co-extensional (i.e., have all the same elements) without being identical, whereas if two arbitrary sets had the same elements, they would be considered equal.   As with any Cyc constant, an instance of Collection should be created only if it is expected to have some purpose or utility.  Moreover, the `best' collections to create are the ones which are impossible to define precisely, yet about which there are rules and other things to say.  E.g., `WhiteCat' is not a good element of Collection to create, because it's easy to define with other Cyc concepts, and there's not much to say about the collection of white cats; but `WhiteCollarWorker' could be a good element of Collection, because it is hard to define exactly, yet there are many things to say about it."))

Suppose predicate P is an instance of Cotemporal-Objects-Slot.  If (P X Y) holds, then it must be the case that (Cotemporal X Y).  For example, consider the binary predicate Owns, which is an instance of Cotemporal-Objects-Slot.  To represent `Nick owned Spot in 1992' we could create the appropriate cotemporal subabstractions of each, and assert (Owns NickIn1992 SpotIn1992), and this would satisfy the constraint introduced when we declared Owns to be a Cotemporal-Objects-Slot.  More tersely, we could use Holds-In (qv) and just assert (Holds-In (Year-Fn 1992) (Owns Nick Spot)), since Holds-In implicitly treats instances of Something-Existing as their appropriate subabstractions.  Alternatively, we could create a context (a microtheory) one of whose assumptions was a temporal one, limiting all axioms to holding during 1992, and then in that context we could simply assert (Owns Nick Spot).  But it would be incorrect to assert (Owns Nick Spot) in the BaseKB, since Nick as a baby and Nick as an old man didn't/won't own Spot."))

Each element of Cotemporal-Predicate is a Cyc predicate whose temporal arguments (i.e., arguments having a temporal extent) must be Cotemporal, i.e., they have the same temporal starting points and ending points.  Moreover, all the temporal arguments of all the cotemporal predicates involved in a single axiom must be Cotemporal.  Since this is a very common and important relationship, we'll consider a detailed example.   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.  Fred may have owned many cars before and since, and that Camaro may have had many owners before and since, but one time-slice of Fred owned one time-slice of that car.  Common sense tells us that the time interval (INT) must have been the same in both cases; Cyc can infer this commonsensical conclusion from our having told it that Owns is a cotemporal relation, i.e., (:instance-of Owns Cotemporal-Predicate).  A ternary example is `between', as in `Lucy is between Fred and Ethel'.  Not all predicates are elements of Cotemporal-Predicate, of course; consider `remembers' -- I (today) remember my father as he was forty years ago.  There are some borderline cases here; Sees clearly belongs to Cotemporal-Predicate, but in the case of someone smelling another object (cf. Smells) it is less clearcut, since one can smell an object that has ceased to exist."))

Note: This collection includes all instances of legal tender, worldwide and historically.  But, for better or worse, the notion of legal tender is context-dependent.  Normally what counts as currency is relative to the country one is in; legal tender in the United States is not the same as legal tender in China.  (Though US dollars may have excellent value on the black market.)  What counts as legal tender depends on historical events as well, since a government may change, withdraw, or cancel some types of currency it previously authorized.  Also, conquest of one country by another usually brings about the collapse of the loser's currency.

Note:  Those specialized kinds of events, like Combing-Hair, are NOT subsets of Daily-Personal-Cleaning, since it would be abnormal for someone to JUST comb their hair each day (and do absolutely no other daily cleaning activity whatsoever).
Note:  In the context Human-Activities-Mt --- where all the performers of actions are, by default, human beings --- Daily-Personal-Cleaning designates human grooming activities only.  In that microtheory, dog-grooming performed by human beings does not constitute Daily-Personal-Cleaning, even if it happens on a daily basis for some pampered poodle, as it is not PERSONAL (i.e, self-) cleaning."))
