Description

Abstract Concept

A Particular Entity is a Concrete Entity that is not itself a class (Class of Entity): it cannot have instances. The " Particular Entity" class is the powerinstance of First Order Class.

Particular Entitys are the most common type of entities.

The word "Individual" is sometimes used to designate particulars. In SysFEAT, the term Individual is reserved for particulars that have a spatio-temporal extent.
Examples:

. The set of numbers {1,2,3,4}.

. The mathematical constant π (pi).

. The English word "Tree" (as a specific string of characters in a specific language).

. The Eiffel tower (31st March 1889 - ...).

. Mount Vesuvius eruption (Aug. 24-25, A.D. 79).

Relationship Table

Relationship	Cardinality	Target Entity	Source Entity	Description
PowerTyped by First Order Class	[1..1]	First Order Class	Particular Entity
Meronymy (Part Of)	[*..0]	Particular Entity	Particular Entity	Abstract Relationship Meronymy (Part Of) is a directional part-to-whole Relationship between Particular Entitys, where the source Particular Entity (the part) is defined has being part of a larger whole Particular Entity.In accordance with principles of Compositionality, Meronymy (Part Of) is not simply the inverse of Holonymy. In some cases, the whole Particular Entity is not inherently defined by some its parts. Location (Located at) and period relationships are such Meronymy (Part Of).Example:- William Shakespeare is born in Stratford-upon-Avon, but the Stratford-upon-Avon geo-location is not inherently defined by William Shakespeare. It is defined by its geophysical containers: Continent-Europe, Landmass-Great Britain.- William Shakespeare is born in 1564, but the year 1564 is not inherently defined by the birth of William Shakespeare. It is defined by its position in the Gregorian calendar and contains countless other global events.
Holonymy	[*..0]	Particular Entity	Particular Entity	Abstract Relationship Holonymy is a directional whole-to-part Relationship (often called Composition) between Particular Entitys, where the source Particular Entity (the whole) incorporates the target Particular Entity as one of its constituent parts.In accordance with principles of Compositionality, Holonymy is not simply the inverse of Meronymy (Part Of). In many cases, the target part is an independant Particular Entity which exists conceptually and often physically without requiring knowledge of, or containing an inherent reference to, its parent whole.The embedding of a part within its whole involves a form of nesting (see Nesting Relationship and Aggregate Block). It is important to note, however, that nesting does not inherently imply composition.Example:
Referencing Relationship	[*..0]	Entity	Entity	Abstract Relationship A Referencing Relationship is a Relationship that points at its target Entity through Reference Adjacency.
Existential Dependency	[1..1]	Entity	Entity	Abstract Relationship An Existential Dependency relationship is a Relationship where the source Entitys existence depends on the existence of the target Entity.The cardinality of the set of targetted Entity is [1..1].
Existential Independence	[*..0]	Entity	Entity	Abstract Relationship An Existential Independence relationship is a Relationship that specifies that the existence the source Entity doesnt depend on the existence of its target Entity.The cardinality of set set of targetted Entity is [0..*].
