Definition
aggregate state of a material entity in which the constituent material parts are sufficiently constrained in their relative motion that the material entity has a definite volume and resists continuous, fluid-like flow
Explanatory Notes
Solid aggregate state should be distinguished from particulate flow. A powder, granulated material, or bead population may flow as a bulk material because its discrete solid particles or particle aggregates can rearrange relative to one another during pouring, shaking, mixing, or transfer. This kind of particulate flow does not mean that the material entity bears a fluid aggregate state. Fluid-like flow, in this context, refers to continuous deformation of a material as a connected liquid, gas, or plasma, rather than motion produced by rearrangement of separate solid units.
Examples
- the solid aggregate state of sodium chloride crystals; the solid aggregate state of powdered cell culture medium; the solid aggregate state of granular cell culture medium; the solid aggregate state of a lyophilized drug product;

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

SolidAggregateState(x) → AggregateState(x)
Semi-Formal Natural Language Axioms
if x is a ‘solid aggregate state’ then x is an ‘aggregate state’
