Definition
quality of a material entity that is the number of discrete sites or material entities of a particular kind that are present as parts of that material entity
Examples
- the viable cell count of a cell population; the particle count of a liquid drug product sample; the bead count of a microcarrier population; the colony count of a microbial colony population growing on an agar plate; the unit count of a manufactured lot; the vial count in a packaging batch; the pore count per square micrometer of a filter membrane
Primitive Class
This class is declared primitive and it does not have necessary and sufficient condiftions defined.
Primitive Rationale
There are insufficient constructs for creating a set of necessary and sufficient conditions
Formal Axioms
First-Order Logic Axioms
Count(x) → Quality(x) ∧ ∃m(MaterialEntity(m) ∧ qualityOf(x,m))
Semi-Formal Natural Language Axioms
if x is a ‘count’ then x is a ‘quality’ that is the ‘quality of’ some ‘material entity’
