Mid-level-ontology.kif 10041-10056

If a process is an instance of MuscularContraction and an entity is a patient of the process and the entity is an instance of muscle and the length of the entity is a real number another entity(s) holds during immediately before the time of existence of the process and the length of the entity is another real number the other entity(s) holds during immediately after the time of existence of the process,
then the real number is greater than the other real number

consequent

(=> (and (instance ?F Flexion) (moves ?F ?BP)) (exists (?M ?MC) (and (instance ?M Muscle) (instance ?MC MuscularContraction) (instrument ?F ?M) (connected ?M ?BP) (subProcess ?MC ?F))))	Mid-level-ontology.kif 10115-10125	If a motion is an instance of Flexion and an object moves during the motion, then there exist another object and the other objectC such that the other object is an instance of muscle and the other objectC is an instance of MuscularContraction and the other object is an instrument for the motion and the other object is connected to the object and the other objectC is a subprocess of the motion
