Be-Attached-To respresents an asymmetric connection between two entities.
One entity (the object) is restricted in movement relative
to the other entity (the base). In particular, the
object of the Be-Attached-To can only be the object of
Moves in which the path is the
location of the base entity of the
Be-Attached-To state. This is probably overly restrictive.
An object is put into a Be-Attached-To state by an Attach
action. The object is taken out of the Be-Attached-To state by a
Detach action. Note that the base of
the Attach corresponds to the base of
the Be-Attached-To, but the base slot of the
Detach refers to the base of the
Be-Attached-To.
