mass object

[mass_object: _x]- (made_of)<--[countable_object] (countains)<--[countable_object] (constituted_of)-->[countable_object] (mass_quantity)-->[quantitative_val]--(reference_unit)-->[unit] % A mass_object is a real_object for which one is not able to say how many, but only how much. So there is not a number, but a quantity attached to a mass_object. However, a mass_object is a real object, and have its properties. As such, it has locations, parts and a causal power. It must not be confused with the role any real object can have, of being the material of what a real object is built of. When an object is considered as material, it is not considered as a fully real object. For example, a gold nugget (countable object) is built of gold (mass object). As mass object, gold has physical properties. As material of nuggets, gold has not these properties, because they are attached now to the nugget itself, to the objects that are built of gold.
