Class: CollectiveMaterialEntity

definition "Mereological Sum of multiple grains of the same sort without clear identity and unity criteria. Whether or not the grains are considered of the same sort depends on the view. Therefore this class does not really make a clear categorial distinction, because all matter can be described as a collection of atoms. As a consequence, these classes are not fully defined. " ()
comment "The fuzzyness of this class is due to the "same sort" criterion." ()
label "collective material entity" ()
