has associated axiom(nl) |
For every independent continuant b and time t during the region of time spanned by its life, there are entities which s-depends_on b during t. (axiom label in BFO2 Reference: [018-002]) For any independent continuant b and any time t there is some spatial region r such that b is located_in r at t.
