Dear Martin,
Would you want to tie the existence of a phase exclusively to E18
Physical Things? One can imagine phases in the development of ideas as
well....
Yes to both. As always, we do not model the term, here "phase", but try
to define a distinct concept we can associate with a clear-cut
"behavior". Physical Things can be thought of as having a simple
trajectory through space-time: Any change makes the previous disappear.
Therefore, substantial evolutionary steps can be represented with a
begin and ending on a time-line.That is a concept I can perceive as a
sort of "phase". Therefore the label.
The evolution of ideas, as any other immaterial thing, does not make
previous ideas disappear. I will be very happy to discuss what phases of
ideas may be confined to, whose they are, what sense of progress they
have, and how we perceive the social effect of ideas we would associate
with phases.
Because of the above considerations, I suggest not to connect a
discussion about "phases of ideas" with "phases of Physical Things"
(which include humans!!). I do not suggest that phases of humans are
restricted to material aspects. In my proposed definition, they may be
due to mental developments, as long as they characterize substantially
the being.
All the best,
Martin
Martijn

Dear All,
Here a first attempt to define "phase":
Exxx Phase
Subclass of: E2 Temporal Entity
Superclass of:E3 Condition State
Scope note:This class comprises phases during the existence and
evolution of an instance of E18 Physical Thing characterized by an
appearance, constitution or a behavior distinct from that in other
times of its existence, or distinct in the evolution of things of
comparable kind, such as the nestling, fledgling, juvenile and
adult forms of birds, but some kinds of phases may also be
consequence of incidental changes such as accidents.
Best,
Martin
