#Gresham's_Law (economics) the principle that when two kinds of money having the same denominational value are in circulation the intrinsically more valuable money will be hoarded and the money of lower intrinsic value will circulate more freely until the intrinsically more valuable money is driven out of circulation; bad money drives out good; credited to Sir Thomas Gresham supertype: #principle.law_of_nature__rule a rule or law concerning a natural phenomenon or the function of a complex system: "the principle of the conservation of mass"; "the principle of jet propulsion"; "the right-hand rule for inductive fields" supertype: #law_of_nature__law a generalization that describes recurring facts or events in nature: "the laws of thermodynamics" supertype: #concept__conception__construct an abstract or general idea inferred or derived from specific instances supertype: #idea.cognitive_content__thought the content of cognition; the main thing you are thinking about; "it was not a good idea"; "the thought never entered my mind" supertype: #cognitive_content__cognitivecontent__content__mental_object the sum or range of what has been perceived, discovered, or learned supertype: pm#description_content__descriptioncontent__information e.g., a narration, an hypothesis supertype: pm#description description (content/medium) of an entity or a situation supertype: pm#description_content/medium/container__descriptioncontent/medium/container supertype: pm#non_spatial_object_that_is_not_an_attribute_or_quality_or_measure supertype: pm#non_spatial_object__nonspatialobject abstraction or description content/medium/container (a description medium that has some spatial feature is both instance of sumo#object and pm#non_spatial_object supertype: pm#entity something that can be "involved" in a situation supertype: pm#thing__something___T__t___3D_or_4D_thing_or_anything_else any category (type or individual) is instance of this type; any type is also a subtype of this type supertype: cyc#intangible The collection of things that are not physical -- are not made of, or encoded in, matter. Every cyc#Collection is a cyc#intangible (even if its instances are tangible), and so are some cyc#individuals. Caution: do not confuse `tangibility' with `perceivability' -- humans can perceive light even though it's intangible--at least in a sense. supertype: cyc#partially_intangible__partiallyintangible The collection of things that either are wholly intangible (see cyc#Intangible) or have at least one intangible (i.e. immaterial) part (see cyc#intangibleParts). This includes intangible individuals, such as instances of cyc#Number-General or cyc#Agreement, as well as non-individuals (all of which are intangible), i.e. instances of cyc#SetOrCollection. It also includes things that have both tangible and intangible components (see cyc#CompositeTangibleAndIntangibleObject), such as a printed copy of a newspaper (as its information content is intangible) or a person (as her mental states are intangible). supertype: pm#thing__something___T__t___3D_or_4D_thing_or_anything_else any category (type or individual) is instance of this type; any type is also a subtype of this type supertype: sumo#abstract__entity_without_spatial_feature e.g., knowledge, motivation, measure; properties or qualities as distinguished from any particular embodiment of the properties/qualities in a physical medium; instances of sumo#abstract can be said to exist in the same sense as mathematical objects such as sets and relations, but they cannot exist at a particular place or time without some physical encoding or embodiment supertype: pm#non_spatial_object__nonspatialobject abstraction or description content/medium/container (a description medium that has some spatial feature is both instance of sumo#object and pm#non_spatial_object supertype: pm#individual__particular___supertype_of_1st_order_types all individuals (for concepts or relations) are implicitely or explicitely instance of that type supertype: pm#thing__something___T__t___3D_or_4D_thing_or_anything_else any category (type or individual) is instance of this type; any type is also a subtype of this type supertype: #cognition__knowledge__noesis the psychological result of perception and learning and reasoning supertype: #psychological_feature__psychologicalfeature a feature of the mental life of a living organism supertype: pm#psychological_entity__psychologicalentity feature/product of mental activity, e.g., feeling supertype: pm#non_spatial_object_playing_some_role supertype: pm#non_spatial_object__nonspatialobject abstraction or description content/medium/container (a description medium that has some spatial feature is both instance of sumo#object and pm#non_spatial_object supertype: sumo#abstract__entity_without_spatial_feature e.g., knowledge, motivation, measure; properties or qualities as distinguished from any particular embodiment of the properties/qualities in a physical medium; instances of sumo#abstract can be said to exist in the same sense as mathematical objects such as sets and relations, but they cannot exist at a particular place or time without some physical encoding or embodiment supertype: pm#thing_that_can_be_seen_as_a_relation usable as relation type supertype: pm#thing_playing_some_role category to classify things according to roles/viewpoints; classification under this category is application-dependant supertype: pm#thing__something___T__t___3D_or_4D_thing_or_anything_else any category (type or individual) is instance of this type; any type is also a subtype of this type
