Thus there is here no counterpart of ‘object’. In BFO 1.0 ‘process’ served as such a counterpart. In BFO 2.0 ‘process’ is, rather, the occurrent counterpart of ‘material entity’. Those natural – as contrasted with engineered, which here means: deliberately executed – units which do exist in the realm of occurrents are typically either parasitic on the existence of natural units on the continuant side, or they are fiat in nature. Thus we can count lives; we can count football games; we can count chemical reactions performed in experiments or in chemical manufacturing. We cannot count the processes taking place, for instance, in an episode of insect mating behavior.Even where natural units are identifiable, for example cycles in a cyclical process such as the beating of a heart or an organism’s sleep/wake cycle, the processes in question form a sequence with no discontinuities (temporal gaps) of the sort that we find for instance where billiard balls or zebrafish or planets are separated by clear spatial gaps. Lives of organisms are process units, but they too unfold in a continuous series from other, prior processes such as fertilization, and they unfold in turn in continuous series of post-life processes such as post-mortem decay. Clear examples of boundaries of processes are almost always of the fiat sort (midnight, a time of death as declared in an operating theater or on a death certificate, the initiation of a state of war)</obo_purl:IAO_0000116> <obo_purl:IAO_0000112 xml:lang="en">the flight of a bird</obo_purl:IAO_0000112> <obo_purl:IAO_0000112 xml:lang="en">a process of meiosis</obo_purl:IAO_0000112> <obo_purl:IAO_0000112 xml:lang="en">your process of aging.</obo_purl:IAO_0000112> <obo_purl:IAO_0000112 xml:lang="en">the life of an organism</obo_purl:IAO_0000112> <obo_purl:IAO_0000112 xml:lang="en">the course of a disease</obo_purl:IAO_0000112> <obo_purl:IAO_0000112 xml:lang="en">a process of sleeping</obo_purl:IAO_0000112> <obo_purl:IAO_0000112 xml:lang="en">a process of cell-division, a beating of the heart</obo_purl:IAO_0000112> <obo_purl:BFO_0000180>Process</obo_purl:BFO_0000180> <obo_purl:IAO_0000602>(iff (Process a) (and (Occurrent a) (exists (b) (properTemporalPartOf b a)) (exists (c t) (and (MaterialEntity c) (specificallyDependsOnAt a c t))))) // axiom label in BFO2 CLIF: [083-003] </obo_purl:IAO_0000602> <obo_purl:BFO_0000179>process</obo_purl:BFO_0000179> </owl:Class> <rdf:Description rdf:about="http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/BFO_0000008"> <owl:disjointWith> <rdf:Description rdf:about="http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/BFO_0000015"> <metadata_def:mappingSameURI rdf:resource="http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/BFO_0000015"/> </rdf:Description> </owl:disjointWith> </rdf:Description> <rdf:Description rdf:about="http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/BFO_0000144"> <rdfs:subClassOf rdf:resource="http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/BFO_0000015"/> </rdf:Description> <rdf:Description rdf:about="http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/BFO_0000182"> <rdfs:subClassOf rdf:resource="http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/BFO_0000015"/> </rdf:Description> <rdf:Description rdf:about="http://www.w3.org/ns/sosa/Observation"> <rdfs:subClassOf rdf:resource="http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/BFO_0000015"/> </rdf:Description> <rdf:Description rdf:about="http://www.w3.org/ns/sosa/Sampling"> <rdfs:subClassOf rdf:resource="http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/BFO_0000015"/> </rdf:Description> </rdf:RDF>
