antecedent

(=>
    (and
        (tangent ?LINE ?CIRCLE)
        (sideOfFigure ?CURVE ?CIRCLE))
    (exists (?POINT1)
        (and

            (pointOfFigure ?POINT1 ?CURVE)
            (forall (?POINT2)
                (=>
                    (and
                        (pointOfFigure ?POINT2 ?LINE)
                        (pointOfFigure ?POINT2 ?CURVE))
                    (equal ?POINT1 ?POINT2))))))

Mid-level-ontology.kif 5278-5291

If a tangent of an oval is a tangent line and the size of the oval is an one dimensional figure,
then there exists a geometric point such that the geometric point is a vertex of the tangent line and the geometric point is a vertex of the one dimensional figure and for all another geometric point
- if the other geometric point is a vertex of the tangent line and the other geometric point is a vertex of the one dimensional figure,
- then the geometric point is equal to the other geometric point

consequent

(=>
    (equal ?L TangentLine)
    (exists (?C)
        (and
            (instance ?C Oval)
            (tangent ?L ?C))))

Mid-level-ontology.kif 5264-5269

If a tangent line is equal to tangent line,
then there exists an entity such that the entity is an instance of oval and a tangent of the entity is the tangent line
