Description

Abstract Concept

A First Order Entity is a kind of Ordered Entity that is not itself a class (Class of Entity): it cannot have instances. The " First Order Entity" class is the powerinstance of First Order Class.

First Order Entitys are the most common type of entities.

The word "Individual" is sometimes used to designate particulars. In SysFEAT, the term Individual is reserved for particulars that have a spatio-temporal extent.
Examples:

. The set of numbers {1,2,3,4}.

. The mathematical constant π (pi).

. The English word "Tree" (as a specific string of characters in a specific language).

. The Eiffel tower (31st March 1889 - ...).

. Mount Vesuvius eruption (Aug. 24-25, A.D. 79).

Relationship Table

Relationship	Cardinality	Target Entity	Source Entity	Description
PowerTyped by First Order Class	[1..1]	First Order Class	First Order Entity
Meronymy Relation	[*..0]	First Order Entity	First Order Entity	Abstract Relationship Meronymy Relation is a directional part-to-whole Relation between First Order Entitys, where the source First Order Entity (the part) is defined has being part of a larger whole First Order Entity.In accordance with principles of Compositionality, Meronymy Relation is not simply the inverse of Holonymy Relation. In some cases, the whole First Order Entity is not inherently defined by some its parts. Location (Located at) and period relationships are such Meronymy Relation.Example:- William Shakespeare is born in Stratford-upon-Avon, but the Stratford-upon-Avon geo-location is not inherently defined by William Shakespeare. It is defined by its geophysical containers: Continent-Europe, Landmass-Great Britain.- William Shakespeare is born in 1564, but the year 1564 is not inherently defined by the birth of William Shakespeare. It is defined by its position in the Gregorian calendar and contains countless other global events.
Holonymy Relation	[*..0]	First Order Entity	First Order Entity	Abstract Relationship Holonymy Relation is a directional whole-to-part Relation (often called Composition) between First Order Entitys, where the source First Order Entity (the whole) incorporates the target First Order Entity as one of its constituent parts.In accordance with principles of Compositionality, Holonymy Relation is not simply the inverse of Meronymy Relation. In many cases, the target part is an independant First Order Entity which exists conceptually and often physically without requiring knowledge of, or containing an inherent reference to, its parent whole.The embedding of a part within its whole involves a form of nesting (see Nesting Relation and Aggregate Block). It is important to note, however, that nesting does not inherently imply composition.Example:
Reference Relation	[*..0]	Entity	Entity	Abstract Relationship A Reference Relation is a Relation that points at its target Entity through Reference Adjacency.
Existential Dependency	[1..1]	Entity	Entity	Abstract Relationship An Existential Dependency relationship is a Relation where the source Entitys existence depends on the existence of the target Entity.The cardinality of the set of targetted Entity is [1..1].
Existential Independence	[*..0]	Entity	Entity	Abstract Relationship An Existential Independence relationship is a Relation that specifies that the existence the source Entity doesnt depend on the existence of its target Entity.The cardinality of set set of targetted Entity is [0..*].
