Dear Wolfgang, we had just spotted the first weak shortcut at P7, and I think another one.

And another one: Are there really no "weak inverse" shortcuts?

Meghini & Doerr 2018 argue that weak inverse shortcuts are possible, although 
their example looks a little artificial:

E18 Physical Thing P53 has former or current location E53 Place
implies
E18 Physical Thing P161 has spatial projection E53 Place P121 overlaps with E53 
Place

The CIDOC CRM document, on the other hand, says: "An instance of the 
fully-articulated path always implies an instance of the shortcut property." So, 
there seems to be a change of opinion after 2018.

But this FOL expression that can be spotted in the wild looks to me like an 
example of a weak inverse shortcut:

E70 Thing P101 had as general use E55 Type
E70 Thing P16i was used for E7 Activity P2 has type E55 Type
P101(x,y) ⇒ (∃z) [E7(z) ∧ P16i(x,z) ∧ P2(z,y)]

The P101 scope note mentions it only indirectly ("This property associates an 
instance of E70 Thing with an instance of E55 Type that describes the type of use that it 
was actually employed for"), but I assume it is indeed ⇒ and not ⇔.

Best,
Wolfgang
