| definition |
(Elucidation) an object aggregate is a material entity consisting exactly of a plurality (≥1) of objects as member parts which together form a unit |
| example |
The aggregate of the musicians in a symphony orchestra and their instruments, the aggregate of bearings in a constant velocity axle joint, the nitrogen atoms in the atmosphere, a collection of cells in a blood biobank. NOTE 1: 'Exactly' means that there are no parts of the object aggregate other than its member parts. NOTE 2: The unit can, at certain times, consist of exactly one object, for example, when a wolf litter loses all but one of its pups, but it must at some time have a plurality of member parts. |
