Relation sumo#disjoint (set_or_class,set_or_class) classes are exclusive/disjoint only if they share no instance (and hence no subtype), i.e. just in case the result of applying sumo#intersection_fn to them is empty
related_to: disjoint_decomposition disjoint_relation
type: binary_predicate_type the class of predicates relating two items - its valence is two
supertype: disjoint (set_or_class,set_or_class) like sumo#disjoint but from a a pm#set_or_class to another
supertype: relation_to_another_set_or_class (set_or_class,set_or_class+) this category is needed to group SUMO relations between classes which cannot be subtype of pm#relation_from_type because their signatures curiously also involve sets
supertype: relation_between_collections (collection,collection+)
supertype: relation_from_collection (collection,*)
supertype: relation_from/to_thing_of_common_kind (*) this type permits to categorize relations according to their signatures and hence offers (i) a concise way to set essential exclusion relations, and (ii) a systematic and easy-to-follow categorization
>part of: relation__related_thing__relatedthing___related_with type for any relation (unary, binary, ..., *-ary) and instance of pm#relation_type
supertype: what_relation (*)
supertype: wh-/how_relation (*) this type permits to categorize relations according to the usual who/what/why/where/when/how questions ; this is a traditional but very subjective and ineffective way of categorizing relations
