                           Discussion: It does not matter whether an INSTANCE still exists
               as a whole at the point in time (or process) when we mention it, for example, a drug product
               lot is an INSTANCE even though it has been portioned out for retail purpose.

               (or even no individuals), the potential should exist for it to cover multiple individuals.

               is taken as a general description of a specific amount of a thing. For example, QUANTIFIED_KIND
               of syringe (quantity = 3,) stands for exactly three syringes.
