Description
The purpose of the  Semantic pattern is to provide meaning through the definition of Ontological Blocks, described by their Typology Relationship (Classification and Specialization), and their Temporal Sequencing.
- Composition (Whole/Part) combines Individuals to form whole-part hierarchies.
- Classification distributes Ontological Blocks into Ordered Semantic Classes of the same type, through instance->type relationship.
It starts with Ontological Blocks that are classifed by Ordered Semantic Classes and allows for multilevel of classification ( higher-order) of Ordered Semantic Classes by  Class of Classes.
Individuals introduce spatio-temporal concerns in the ontology by representing Ontological Blocks that exist over space and time.
Specialization provides a specialization/generalization relationship between Ordered Semantic Classes.

Abstract Concepts
ConceptDescription
  Bounded Individual
 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.
  Category Category is a used to classify Class of Bounded Individual.
  Class of Bounded Individual
Class of Bounded Individual is a Class of Individual which denotes Bounded Individuals that have a proper life cycle, bounded by Temporal Bounding Types.
 Class of Bounded Individual is the powertype of  Bounded Individual. It means that all sub-types of Bounded Individual are instances of  Class of Bounded Individual.
Examples:
- Car, , Application,
- A Process Type (Action Process) such as the registration process used at the Oackland digital hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Counterexamples:
- Project is not a  Class of Bounded Individual because its instances have a spatio-temporal extent. Project is a subtype of Bounded Individual.
- Capability is not a  Class of Bounded Individual. It is a Property.
 Class of Class of Bounded Individual Class of Class of Bounded Individual is a  Class of Class of Individual which is the powertype of  Class of Bounded Individual . It means that all sub-types of Class of Bounded Individual are instances of  Class of Class of Bounded Individual.
 Class of Class of Individual The powertype of Class of Individual.
  Class of Individual
Class of Individual is an Ordered Semantic Class of Ontological Blocks that exist in space and time. It is the powertype of  Individual.
 Class of Individuals are represented as dark orange boxes (see the Meta-Model Legend) .
Examples:
- Red;
- 12 kg;
-  Top Secret (TS) confidentiality.
- Birth,
- Death,
  Individual
 Individuals are Ontological Blocks which represent things that exist over space and time.
 Individuals are represented as light orange boxes, while there classes are represented as dark orange boxes (see the Meta-Model Legend) .
Examples:
. The Eiffel tower completion (31st March 1889)
. The Eiffel tower (31st March 1889 - ...).
. William Shakespeare birth (1592)
. William Shakespeare in its Early Theatrical Career (1592-1600).
. Confucius (685-758).
. Confucius death (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.
  Individual Property
 Individual Property is the power instance of Property. All its subtypes are instances of Property such as:
- 10 degree celcius;
- Ability to cook (a capability);
- Red;
- 12 kg;
-  Top Secret (TS) confidentiality.
- 7/7 availability
  Individual State
An  Individual State is a temporal slice of a Bounded Individual.
Examples:
. The state of the Eiffel tower during the 1900 World Fair, with its improved elevators and electric illuminations (Apr 14, 1900 - Nov 12, 1900).
. William Shakespeare in its early theatrical career (1592-1600).
. Confucius in its early childhood.
. The first Plinian phase of the Mount Vesuvius eruption (18 to 20 hour, Aug. 24 A.D. 79), that projected a column of volcanic debris and hot gases.
. Oackland digital hospital after its renovation (2022 - ...).
  Ontological Block
 Ontological Block is the root ontological foundation that defines the capacity to embody meaning through Semantic Relationships - such as Composition (Whole/Part), Classification or Specialization.
In contrast, Building Blocks like Aggregate Blocks or Containers act as syntactic constructs, They structure or group  Ontological Blocks, but lack inherent semantic properties of their own, serving purely as structural or logistical tools within the framework.
  Ordered Semantic Class
An  Ordered Semantic Class is collection of Ontological Blocks which it classifies according to a chain of powertype relations, with every  Ordered Semantic Class specializing the basic type of the same order and instantiating the one of the order above.
This make  SysFEAT is a higher-order ontology, so  Ordered Semantic Classes may have members that are also  Ordered Semantic Classes ( Class of Classes).
  Property
Property is an abstract Class of Individual, which purpose is to qualify Bounded Individuals and their classes (Class of Bounded Individual).
Because instances of  Property are Individual Propertys, they do not have proper instances: there are no instances of "red", but there are red Bounded Individuals.
Example:
- 10 degree celcius;
- Ability to cook (a capability);
- Red;
- 12 kg;
-  Top Secret (TS) confidentiality.
- 7/7 availability
  Property Type
Property Type is a Class of Class of Individual Object that is used to classify Propertys.
Example:
- Temperature
- Color
- Weight
- Confidentiality
- Availability
  State Class
State Class is a class of the temporal slices of a Class of Bounded Individual. It is the powertype of Individual State.
Examples:
. The lifecyle phases of buildings such as a skycraper: construction phase, operation and maintenance phase, decommissioning phase.
. The lifecycle phases of a person, such as childhood, adulthood, eldery stage.
. The phases of a volcanic eruption:  magma accumulation, plinian phase, eruptive phase, effusive phase, declining phase.
. The lifecyle phases of a hospital such as construction phase, operation and maintenance phase, renovation and expansion phase, decommissioning phase.
  Temporal Bounding
Temporal Bounding is an Individual whose temporal extent is instantaneous, and whose spatial extent corresponds with the start or end of the Bounded Individuals for which it is the temporal border.
Example:
. The Eiffel tower completion (31st March 1889)
. William Shakespeare birth (1592)
. Confucius death (758).
. Start of the first Plinian phase of the Mount Vesuvius eruption (18h, Aug. 24 A.D. 79)
. Oakland hospital opening in 1994.
  Temporal Bounding Type
Temporal Bounding Type is Class of Individual that defines the type of temporal boundaries that delimitate Class of Bounded Individuals.
It is a class of Temporal Bounding.
Exemples:
- Birth,
- Death,
- Start of the plinian phase of a volcanic eruption.
- Hospital opening.
  Whole Life Class
 Whole Life Class is the power-type of Whole Life Individual.
Examples:
. A type of building such as a skycraper.
. A type of person such as a philosopher.
. A type of activity such as a volcanic eruption.
. A type of facility such as a Hospital.
. A Process Type (Action Process) such as the registration process used at the Oackland digital hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  Whole Life Individual
Whole Life Individual is a Bounded Individual that is not the temporal slice of any other Bounded Individual.
Whole Life Individual includes its past and future.
Examples:
. The Eiffel tower (31st March 1889 - ...).
. William Shakespeare (23 April 1564 - 23 April 1616).
. Confucius (685-758).
. Mount Vesuvius eruption (Aug. 24-25, A.D. 79).
. Oackland digital hospital (1994 - ...).
. The execution of the registration process at the Oackland digital hospital, by John Smith, on 17 March 2020.
