sumo#physical_quantity  a measure of some quantifiable aspect of the modeled world, such as 'the earth's diameter' (a constant length) and 'the stress in a loaded deformable solid' (a measure of stress, which is a function of three spatial coordinates); physical_quantities need not be material, e.g., amounts of money (in specified currencies) would be instances of sumo#physical_quantity

              subtype:  akts#Year
           subtype:  sumo#time_point  the time_points at which processes occur can be known with various degrees of precision and approximation, but conceptually time_points are point-like and not interval-like; that is, it doesn't make sense to talk about how long a time_point lasts
              subtype:  akts#Calendar-Date  a point in time 
     subtype:  dl#physical_region__PR  e.g., 2 meters, 3.5 kg, [2-3] hz
        subtype:  dl#space_region__spaceregion__S
        subtype:  dl#volume
     subtype:  dl#abstract_region__AR  e.g., 2 US dollars
  subtype:  pm#function_quantity_type  function that maps from one or more instances of constant_quantity to another instance of constant_quantity; for example, the velocity of a particle would be represented by a function_quantity mapping values of time (which are constant_quantities) to values of distance (also constant_quantities); note that all instances of function_quantity are functions with a fixed arity; note too that all elements of the range of a function_quantity have the same physical dimension as the function_quantity itself
     subtype:  pm#unary_constant_function_quantity_type  unary function that maps from sumo#constant_quantity to the same class
        subtype:  pm#time_dependent_quantity_type  a unary_constant_function of continuous time; all instances of this class map a time quantity into another constant_quantity such as temperature; for example, 'the temperature at the top of the Empire State Building' is a time_dependent_quantity since its value depends on the time
     subtype:  sumo#calorie
     subtype:  sumo#British_thermal_unit
  subtype:  sumo#constant_quantity  physical_quantity with a constant value, e.g., 3 meters and 5 hours; the magnitude (see magnitude_fn) of every constant_quantity is a real_number; constant_quantities are expressed with measure_fn, e.g., 3 meters can be expressed as (sumo#measure_fn 3 meter); they form a partial order with the less_than relation, since less_than is a relation_extended_to_quantities and less_than is defined over the real_numbers; the less_than relation is not a total order over the class constant_quantity since elements of some subclasses of constant_quantity (such as length quantities) are incomparable to elements of other subclasses of constant_quantity (such as mass quantities)
     subtype:  sumo#time_measure
        subtype:  dl#temporal_quality__TQ  e.g., a date or a duration, but not its measure/value
           subtype:  dl#Temporal_location__TL
        subtype:  dl#temporal_region__TR  a value for a temporal quality, e.g., 24/5/2002, 2 seconds
