A collection of tangible things. An instance of InanimateObject_NonNatural is a tangible which was created during a PurposefulAction by an Agent_PartiallyTangible (or a group of Agent_PartiallyTangibles working together) whether or not that creation was intended. If the creation was intended the thing created is an instance of the more specific collection, Artifact.
Let's consider some positive and negative examples.
In addition to the obvious human Artifacts (buildings, tools, textiles, power lines), this collection includes Artifacts made by NonPersonAnimals, such as bird nests, termite mounds, and beaver dams. By-products (see byProducts) of PurposefulActions, such as wood chips created when chopping down a tree and slag created when obtaining metal from MineralOre, are instances of InanimateObject_NonNatural but not of Artifact. For more details on what is included in the concept Artifact, examine its comment.
Negative examples include bodily excretions (see ExcretionSubstance), most instances of tracks made while walking through mud or snow (both being instances of InanimateObject_Natural, and spoken words (being intangible).
