  supertype:  organic_process__organicproces__biological_process  a process occurring in living organisms
     supertype:  natural_process__naturalproces__natural_action__naturalaction__action__activity  a process existing in or produced by nature (rather than by the intent of human beings); "the action of natural forces"; "volcanic activity"

              supertype:  process__proces__physicalsituation  intuitively, the class of things that happen and have temporal parts or stages; examples include extended events like a football match or a race, actions like pursuing and reading, and biological processes; sumo#process is not identical to pm#situation because an instance of pm#situation is not necessarily an instance of sumo#physical
                 supertype:  situation  something that "occurs" in a real/imaginary region of time and space
                    supertype:  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:  physical__physical_thing  an entity that has a location in space-time; locations are themselves understood to have a location in space-time; click here for more details on the identical category sowa#physical_thing
                    supertype:  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
