Definition
morphological quality inhering in a bearer by virtue of the bearer’s ratios of distances between its geometric features
Explanatory Notes
Examples of geometric features include points, edges, surfaces and holes
Examples
- Spherical shape of chromatography resin beads; Elongated shape of fiber-like particles in a raw material sample; Irregular shape of powder particles in a dry cell culture media blend; Rounded granule shape in a granulated culture medium; Needle-like crystal shape in a crystalline excipient or salt; Spherical or irregular shape of protein aggregate particles in a formulation sample;

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
PhysicalShape(x) → MorphologicalQuality(x)
Semi-Formal Natural Language Axioms
if x is a ‘physical shape’ then x is a ‘morphological quality’
