A Field is a CBO_Object for the description of entities that span a particular extent at a particular time but are not spatially exclusive and may, and generally do, overlap with other PhysicalEntityTypes at a particular time. In addition, a Field may be described as having a position dependent concentration, density or value function. Unlike a CBO:Cell, a Field is geometrically divisible without a fundamental change in characteristics or identity. (Division down to the scale of an individual molecule is outside the distance scale covered by the CBO.) A Field may be restricted to a particular region or part of a physical object (CBO:PhysicalEntityType:CorpuscularEntity or CBO:PhysicalEntityType:ContinousEntity), such as the case of an electromagnetic field. Or, a portion of a chemical field distributed across the interstitial space of a region. |
