generically dependent continuant = def. a continuant that is dependent for its existence on one or other independent continuants that can serve as its bearer, as follows: 'a' generically depends on 'b' = def. 'a' exists and 'b' exists and: for some type 'B', 'b' is instance of 'B' and necessarily if 'a' exists then some 'B' exists ~~~ Information artifacts, which can be thought of as complex continuant patterns, are one family of examples of generically independent continuants (Introduction to Basic Formal Ontology I, Arp, Smith, and Spear, 2015) |
