BUILDING BLOCK - Bounded Individual

Description	Abstract Concept Bounded Individuals are Individuals which have a life cycle, bounded by Temporal Boundings. Because of its composite nature, Bounded Individual is a sub-type of Bounded Aggregate. Bounded Individuals shall be made distinct from Class of Bounded Individual which they are instance of. Bounded Individuals are represented with light orange boxes (see the Meta-Model Legend). Examples: . The Eiffel tower (31st March 1889 - ...). . William Shakespeare in its Early Theatrical Career (1592-1600). . Confucius (685-758). . Mount Vesuvius eruption (Aug. 24-25, A.D. 79). . Oackland digital hospital after its renovation (2022 - ...) . The execution of the registration process at the Oackland digital hospital, by John Smith, on 17 March 2020. Structural Partition of Bounded Individual: a Bounded Individual is either an Individual State or a Whole Life Individual

Relationship Table

Relationship	Cardinality	Target Entity	Source Entity	Description
Property of Individual	[*..0]	Property	Bounded Individual	A Classification from a Bounded Individual to a Property that asserts the Bounded Individual has the Property.
End	[*..0]	Temporal Bounding	Bounded Individual	An End is the temporal Exit Border of a Bounded Individual that denotes the end of the Bounded Individual.
Start	[*..0]	Temporal Bounding	Bounded Individual	A Start is the temporal Entry Border of a Bounded Individual that denotes the beginning of the Bounded Individual.
Aggregate Composition	[*..0]	Bounded Individual	Bounded Individual	Aggregate Composition is a reified Composition (Whole/Part) where the composed Individual becomes a Composite Member of the whole Bounded Individual.
Temporal Sequencing	[*..0]	Temporal Bounding	Bounded Individual
Dependency Relationship	[1..1]	Entity Element	Entity Element	A Dependency Relationship is a Relationship Element that specifies the existential dependency of the sourceRelationship Element on its target Relationship Element.The cardinality to the target Entity Element is [1..1].
Non-Dependency Relationship	[*..0]	Entity Element	Entity Element	A Non-Dependency Relationship is a Relationship Element that specifies that the existence the source Entity Element doesnt depend on the existence of its target Entity Element.The cardinality to the target Entity Element is [0..*].
Bounded Member	[*..0]	Bounded Aggregate	Aggregate Entity Block	A Bounded Member is an Entity Member that aggregates a Bounded Aggregate.Bounded Members can be related by means of Connectors which connect an Exit Border of a source Bounded Member to a corresponding Entry Border of a target Bounded Member.
Unbounded Member	[*..0]	Unbounded Aggregate	Aggregate Entity Block	An Unbounded Member is an Entity Member of an Aggregate Entity Block that aggregates an Unbounded Aggregate.Because Entity Members do not have borders, Unbounded Members cannot be related by Connection Relationships (see Bounded Aggregate).
Hierarchical Member	[*..0]	Building Block	Aggregate Block	A Hierarchical Member is an Aggregate Member that is also a Block Lexical Scope for the Building Block it aggregates: it relates its aggregated block by nesting (see Nesting Relationship).Hierarchical Members are used to build hierarchical structures of Building Blocks, in constrast to Block Members which are used to build network structures of Building Blocks.
Block Member	[*..0]	Building Block	Aggregate Block	A Block Member is an Aggregate Member that aggregates its releated Building Block by reference (see Referencing Relationship).Block Members are used to build network structures of Building Blocks while Hierarchical Members are used to build hierarchical structures of Building Blocks.
