Process

Perdurant

Occurrent

A whole that is identified according to a criteria based on its temporal evolution that is satisfied throughout its time extension. Following the common definition of process, the reader may think that every whole should be a process, since every 4D object always has a time dimension. However, in the EMMO we restrict the meaning of the word process to items whose evolution in time have a particular meaning for the ontologist (i.e. every 4D object unfolds in time, but not every 4D time unfolding may be of interest for the ontologist and categorized as a process). For this reason, the definition of every specific process subclass requires the introduction of a primitive concept. A process can be defined only according to an entity type. The minimum process is an entity made of two entities of the same type that are temporally related.
