Concept: Move-Into

System documentation


Superconcept: Move-Through

Definition: An object changes location by moving into a container, putting the object into a Be-Contained state.

Required Relationships:

object: the thing that moves
base: the Tangible-Entity, playing the role of Container, which the object moves into

Other Common Relationships:

agent: the entity that caused the move to occur
path: the Portal through which the object enters the base
origin: the initial location of the object before the move. This must be a Spatial-Entity that is-outside the base
destination: the final location of the object after the move. This must be a Spatial-Entity that is-inside the base
toward: the location toward which the object moves. Unlike the destination, the object need not reach this Place, but it may
away-from: the location that the object moves away from. Unlike the origin, the object need not start at this Place, but it may

Examples:
