| Citazioni | Force function marks entities which are presented as instigators of Processes, without having control over these Processes. Forces cannot be equated with Agents, because there is no control; nor can they be equated with Instruments in the FG [Functional Grammar] sense, since Instrument will be reserved for entities which are used by some controller in performing an Action of maintaining a Position. |
