relation asym�trique
A BinaryRelation is asymmetric if and only if it is both an AntisymmetricRelation and an IrreflexiveRelation.
Relationships      
Parents relation antisym�trique BinaryRelation ?REL is an AntisymmetricRelation if for distinct ?INST1 and ?INST2, (?REL ?INST1 ?INST2) implies not (?REL ?INST2 ?INST1). In other words, for all ?INST1 and ?INST2, (?REL ?INST1 ?INST2) and (?REL ?INST2 ?INST1) imply that ?INST1 and ?INST2 are identical. Note that it is possible for an AntisymmetricRelation to be a ReflexiveRelation.
  relation irr�flexive Relation ?REL is irreflexive iff (?REL ?INST ?INST) holds for no value of ?INST.
Children r�le d�pendant du casThe Class of Predicates relating the spatially distinguished parts of a Process. CaseRoles include, for example, the agent, patient or destination of an action, the flammable substance in a burning process, or the water that falls in rain.

 agentName(agentName ?STRING ?OBJ) means that ?STRING is a full or partial name for the AutonomousAgent ?OBJ.
 alias(alias ?STRING ?AGENT) means that ?STRING is an alternate identifier for ?AGENT, and is likely being used to hide or obscure ?AGENT's true identity.
 areaOfOperationAn operational area defined by the joint force commander for land and naval forces. Areas of operation do not typically encompass the entire operational area of the joint force commander, but should be large enough for component commanders to accomplish their missions and protect their forces. Also called AO. See also area of responsibility, joint operations area, joint special operations area.
 attribute(attribute ?OBJECT ?PROPERTY) means that ?PROPERTY is a Attribute of ?OBJECT. For example, (attribute MyLittleRedWagon Red).
 barometricPressure(barometricPressure ?AREA ?PRESSURE) means that the atmospheric pressure measured at ?AREA is ?PRESSURE.

Note that unlike entails, the time during which ?FORMULA2 holds cannot precede the time during which ?FORMULA1 holds, although ?FORMULA1 and ?FORMULA2 can hold simultaneously. Note, also, that causesProposition is a predicate, not a truth function. The following rule (contraposition) does not hold: (=> (causesProp ?FORMULA1 ?FORMULA2) (causesProp (not ?FORMULA2) (not ?FORMULA1))).

A perfect filler of (a part of) a hole completely fills every proper part of (that part of) that hole.

Note that there is an important difference in meaning between the Predicates hasPurpose and result. Although the second argument of the latter can satisfy the second argument of the former, a conventional goal is an expected and desired outcome, while a result may be neither expected nor desired. For example, a machine process may have outcomes but no goals, aimless wandering may have an outcome but no goal, a learning process may have goals with no outcomes, and so on.
