supertype: object/result object_relation
subtype: input (process,?)
subtype: material (process,?)

subtype: input_output__inputoutput (process,?)
subtype: modified_object (process,?)
subtype: muted_object__mutedobject (process,?)
subtype: deleted_object__deletedobject (process,?)
subtype: patient (process,?) the 2nd argument may be moved, said, experienced, etc; the direct objects in 'The cat swallowed the canary' and 'Billy likes the beer' would be examples of patients; the patient of a process may or may not undergo structural change as a result of the process
subtype: instrument (process,object) the 2nd argument is used in bringing about the first and is not changed by it, e.g., the key is an instrument in 'the key opened the door'; instrument and resource cannot be satisfied by the same ordered pair
subtype: resource (process,object) the object is present at the beginning of the process, is used by it, and as a consequence is changed by it; for example, soap is a resource in 'the gun was carved out of soap'; resource differs from instrument in that its internal or physical properties are altered in some way by the process
subtype: result (process,?) the 2nd argument is the product of the process, e.g., house is a result in 'Eric built a house'
