+        <rdfs:comment xml:lang="en">In this definition we assume devices are made of processed material, not natural artifacts, so we involve artifactual function rather than biological function, but align with a general BFO function sense where functions such as pumping, lifting can occur in both contexts. Thus we can compare a biological arm with a robotic arm device.
+
+We say &quot;designed&quot; to emphasize a device&apos;s primary function rather than all the other possible dispositions a device may have that may also be useful. E.g. one can use a hammer for a paper weight.
+
+Regarding usage then, we don&apos;t say a naturally formed rock is a hammering device - it wasn&apos;t designed to bear a hammering function per se. However, a given rock may still happen to have the disposition to bear a hammering function, and so we could say it is a hammering &quot;tool&quot;, which does not necessarily convey intentional design.
+
+Example of use: A whole device like an engine; a component like a bolt is also a device.</rdfs:comment>
