#asynchronous_operation  operations that occur without a regular or predictable time relation to other events
  exclusion:  #synchronous_operation
  supertype:  #operation.data_processing  (computer science) data processing in which the result is completely specified by a rule (especially the processing that results from a single instruction); "it can perform millions of operations per second"
     supertype:  #data_processing  the temporary retention of data in a processor while calculations or logical operations are performed on it
        supertype:  #processing  preparing or putting through a prescribed procedure: "the processing of newly arrived immigrants"; "the processing of ore to obtain minerals"
           supertype:  #process__proces  a sustained phenomenon or one marked by gradual changes through a series of states; "events now in process"; "the process of calcification begins later for boys than for girls"
              supertype:  #phenomenon  any state or process known through the senses rather than by intuition or reasoning
                 supertype:  sumo#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:  pm#situation  something that "occurs" in a real/imaginary region of time and space
                       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:  pm#process_or_process_description
                       supertype:  pm#processing_thing
                          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
                    supertype:  sumo#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:  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
