appearance as argument number 1
-------------------------


(subclass PhysicalState InternalAttribute) Merge.kif 17898-17898 Physical state is a subclass of internal attribute
(exhaustiveAttribute PhysicalState Solid Liquid Gas Plasma) Merge.kif 17900-17900 Solid are all the attributes of physical state
(documentation PhysicalState EnglishLanguage "The physical state of an Object. There are three reified instances of this Class: Solid, Liquid, and Gas. Physical changes are not characterized by the transformation of one substance into another, but rather by the change of the form (physical states) of a given substance. For example, melting an iron nail yields a substance still called iron.") Merge.kif 17901-17906 Solid are all the attributes of physical state
