Definition

physical structure that inheres in a solid material entity by virtue of the material entity having material parts arranged in a highly ordered, long-range periodic lattice

Examples

• the crystalline structure of sodium chloride crystals; the crystalline structure of a crystalline drug substance lot; the crystalline structure of mannitol in a lyophilized formulation; the crystalline structure of lactose monohydrate powder;

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

CrystallineStructure(x) → PhysicalStructure(x) ∧ ∃m∃s (MaterialEntity(m) ∧ qualityOf(x, m) ∧ SolidAggregateState(s) ∧ hasQuality(m, s))

Semi-Formal Natural Language Axioms

if x is a ‘crystalline structure’ then x is a ‘physical structure’ that is the ‘quality of’ some ‘material entity’ that ‘has quality’ some ‘solid aggregate state’
