Kinds of SocialInteraction :

• ChangeOfPossession (9 kinds, 30 facts) - The Class of Processes where ownership of something is transferred from one Agent to another
• Communication (8 kinds, 20 facts) - A SocialInteraction that involves the transfer of information between two Agents via a ContentBearingObject
• Contest (6 kinds, 25 facts) - A Competition in which the Agents are CognitiveAgents. More specifically, the Agents are aware at some level that there is a prize at stake in the Competition
• Cooperation (3 facts) - The subclass of SocialInteraction where the participants involved work together for the achievement of a common goal
• Meeting (2 facts) - The coming together of two or more CognitiveAgents for the purpose of Communication. This covers informal meetings, e.g. visits with family members, and formal meetings, e.g. a board of directors meeting
• Pretending (2 facts) - Any SocialInteraction where a CognitiveAgent or Group of CognitiveAgents attempts to make another CognitiveAgent or Group of CognitiveAgents believe something that is false. This covers deceit, affectation, impersonation, and entertainment productions, to give just a few examples
