Description

Abstract Concept

An Entity is a distinct, identifiable Element that has a proper existence (living or non living). It is accessible by some referencing mechanism and can have Relations to other Entitys.

The Entity class is the powerinstance of Class of Entity: all subtypes of Entity are instances of Class of Entity.

Class Ordering of Entity: an Entity is either an Ordered Entity or a Mixed-Order Entity

Functional Domain: Reflexive Knowledge Graph

The Reflexive Knowledge Graph domain defines the top level constructs of Entitys, Relations, their multi-level classification and mereological relationships.

Relationship Table

Relationship	Cardinality	Target Entity	Source Entity	Description
PowerTyped by Class of Entity	[1..1]	Class of Entity	Entity
Relation	[*..0]	Entity	Entity	Abstract Relationship A Relation is the reification of a Linkage of the Predication Substrate, as an Element that represents a directed connection between a source Entity and a target Entity.Relations are nested within their source Entity. (principle of locality).
Reference Relation	[*..0]	Entity	Entity	Abstract Relationship A Reference Relation is a Relation that points at its target Entity through Reference Adjacency.
Existential Dependency	[1..1]	Entity	Entity	Abstract Relationship An Existential Dependency relationship is a Relation where the source Entitys existence depends on the existence of the target Entity.The cardinality of the set of targetted Entity is [1..1].
Existential Independence	[*..0]	Entity	Entity	Abstract Relationship An Existential Independence relation is a Relation that specifies that the existence of the source Entity doesnt depend on the existence of its target Entity.The cardinality of set of targetted Entity is [0..*].
