#$ableToControl able
to control
**GAFs NOT REVIEWED**
A predicate that relates an agent to some
cotemporal thing s/he is able to control. More precisely, (#$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.

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

(#$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.

#$owns property
A predicate that relates #$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.

A #$CotemporalObjectsSlot

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.

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,

of THING to #$TemporalThing

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,

It is thus distinguished from #$RecreationalActivity: a

whereas an instance of #$EntertainmentEvent

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
