Concept: Move-Together

System documentation


Superconcept: Action

Definition: Several objects change their own location to the same Place, which is the destination. Move-Together is an Action involving multiple objects that Move to the destination. The difference between Move-Together and Come-Together is that Come-Together is reflexive (i.e. the objects move themselves) and Move-Together is not.

Required Relationships:

object: the things that move together
destination: the place where the objects move together to

Other Common Relationships:

agent: the entity that caused the move together to occur.
path: the Place which the objects move along. Typically, this is an object or surface along which the objects are moving
toward: the location toward which the objects move. Unlike the destination, the objects need not reach this Place, but they may
away-from: the location that the objects move away from. Unlike the origin, the objects need not start at this Place, but they may

Subevents:

Move: for each object there is a Move where the destination is the destination of the Move-Together and the agent is the agent of the Move-Together.

Subevent Order:

All the Moves occur simultaneously.

Examples:

  1. Mom and Dad moved to New York due to Junior's request
    object: Mom and Dad
    agent: Junior
    destination: New York
  2. Comment: There are several "move"s occurring together which is translated to "move-together".

Neighboring Concepts:

Similar to...But different because...
Come-Together Come-Together is the reflexive version of Move-Together (i.e. the objects that move are acting by their own volition, so the agent and the object of Come-Together are the same). Its opposite is Disperse.
Disperse Disperse is the opposite of Come-Together, and should be used when specifying several objects leaving some place by their own volition.
Move-Apart Move-Apart is the non-reflexive version of Disperse (i.e. the objects that move apart are not necessarily acting by their own volition.) Its opposite is Move-Together.
