A time quality inhering in a bearer by virtue of how long the bearer has existed.
A composite chromatic quality composed of hue, saturation and intensity parts.
An organismal quality inhering in a bearer by virtue of the bearer's ability to undergo sexual reproduction in order to differentiate the individuals or types involved.
A quality inhering in a bearer by virtue of the bearer's possessing or displaying a distinctive feature in type or degree or effect or force.
A quality of a single physical entity inhering in the bearer by virtue of the bearer's size or shape or structure.
A morphological quality inhering in a bearer by virtue of the bearer's ratios of distances between its features (points, edges, surfaces and also holes etc).
Shapes are invariant on size transformations. Shapes can be subdivided into 2D and 3D shapes, We can also make a distinction between shapes of complete self-connected objects, and shapes of parts of objects.
A spatial quality inhering in a bearer by virtue of the bearer's exhibiting repetition of placement of its parts.
TODO: define this or obsolete it and move children somewhere else.
A morphology quality inhering in a bearer by virtue of the bearer's physical magnitude.
A 1-D extent quality which is equal to the distance between two points.
A morphology quality inhering in a bearer by virtue of the bearer's relative position, shape, arrangements and connectivity of an organism's various parts; the pattern underlying its form.
A morphologic quality inhering in a bearer by virtue of the bearer's relative size, organization and distribution of its surface elements or the representation or invention of the appearance of its surface; visual and tactile surface characteristics.
A quality in which events occur in sequence.
A biological sex quality inhering in an individual or a population that only produces gametes that can be fertilised by male gametes.
A biological sex quality inhering in an individual or a population whose sex organs contain only male gametes.
A branchiness quality inhering in a bearer by virtue of the bearer's having branches.
A shape quality inhering in a bearer by virtue of the bearer's being such that every part of the surface or the circumference is equidistant from the center.
A quality denoting the lack of an entity.
Example: [ E=wing Q=absent ] -applies to an organism that lacks wings. Note that this is the reciprocal quality to the relational quality "lacks all parts of type". This means that [E=wing Q=absent] is replaceable with [E=organism Q=lacks_all_parts_of_type E2=Wing]. The latter is preferable as it allows greater precision in stating what is lacking from where. E.g. We can say [E=spermatocyte Q=lacks_all_parts_of_type E2=aster] to describe spermatocytes that have no asters.
A quality inhering in a bearer by virtue of the bearer's existence.
A length quality which is relatively large.
A length quality which is relatively small.
A decreased size quality inhering in a bearer by virtue of the bearer's exhibiting reduced size of a cell or constituent group of cells (for example, organ).
A spatial pattern quality inhering in a bearer by virtue of the bearer's being confined or restricted to a particular location.
A structural quality inhering in a bearer by virtue of the bearer's consisting of blebbing of the nucleus and DNA fragmentation due to the cell undergoing a specific form of programmed cell death termed apoptosis.
A 3-D extent quality inhering in a bearer by virtue of the bearer's amount of 3-dimensional space it occupies.
A 1-D extent quality which is equal to the distance from one side of an object to another side which is opposite.
This term is for curator easiness - we might consider obsoleting this but we have to consider how curators are going to represent them if we do.
A permeability quality inhering in a bearer by virtue of the bearer's being capable to be permeated or pervaded by a liquid (as by osmosis or diffusion).
A quality of a physical entity that exists through action of continuants at the physical level of organisation in relation to other entities.
A quality inhering in a bearer by virtue of the bearer's length being notably higher than its width.
An EM radiation quality in which the EM radiation is within the fiat range of the spectrum visible deemed to be light.
A 2-D extent quality inhering in a bearer by virtue of the bearer's two dimensional extent.
A length quality which is equal to the length of any straight line segment that passes through the center of a circle and whose endpoints are on the circular boundary.
A monadic quality of continuant that exists at the cellular level of organisation.
A structural quality inhering in a bearer by virtue of the bearer's being thicker or more closely packed together; pressed tightly together.
A quality of a single physical entity that arises by virtue of whether the bearer exhibits the ability to perform a regular function(s).
An optical quality where light rays originating from a point on the object converge.
An optical quality inhering in a bearer by virtue of the bearer's lacking focus.
A spatial pattern inhering in a bearer by virtue of the bearer's being spread out or scattered about or divided up.
A spatial pattern inhering in a bearer by virtue of the bearer's being gathered or tending to gather into a mass or whole.
