- No
- Operating modes in consequences area (sub conditionals).
- No
- Overwriting of inherited equations.
- No
- Functional expressions as functors.
- Global Constants may be defined with defQuantityFunction by
providing an empty list of argument types (when appropriate) and a
value restriction such as (= ;SPMlt;name;SPMgt; 3.141592618). (Issue raised
by Adam Finkelstein in the context of asking about substitutions
(e.g., PI, Plank's constant, perhaps G)).
- We currently allow not in antecedents.
- The terms ``top level form'', ``model fragment definition'' and
``model fragment instance'' unambiguously specify the appropriate
objects.
- Dimensions of quantities are specified in the defQuantityFunction
form.
- The magnitude of a quantity-value may be rendered in units of
the appropriate dimension by the function magnitude.
- It is possible to specify quantities that are subsets of the
extended reals using defQuantityFunction (including integers, reals, etc.).
- The active and instance-of relations are needed
for CML. As long as time was implicit, this was not clear, but
making time explicit requires the distinction to be made.
