predicate: Predicates are represented in CycL by constants that are sometimes referred to as "CycL predicates" or, more casually, as "predicates " Like CycL functions (the other kind of relation-denoting constants), CycL predicates can be used as the leading term (after the initial parenthesis) in CycL expressions When a CycL predicate is applied to the right number and type of arguments, the expression formed is a CycL formula--a formula expressing a proposition about something In contrast, expressions formed with functions as arg 0 (in the leading position) are terms and so do not express propositions By convention, constants that denote predicates begin with lowercase letters For more information about the syntax and use of predicates in CYC®, click here
