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: 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
