Concept: Move-Through

System documentation


Superconcept: Move

Definition: An object changes location by moving through some place or along some path.

Required Relationships:

object: the thing that moves
path: the Place which the object moves along or through. Typically, this is an object or surface along which, or through which, the object is moving.

Other Common Relationships:

agent: the entity that caused the move to occur.
origin: the initial location of the object before the move.
destination: the final location of the object after the move.
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.
