actual_individual

An <actual_individual> is a <possible_individual> that is a part of the space-time continuum that we inhabit. It exists in the present, past, or future of our universe, as opposed to some imagined universe.
NOTE The things we plan can usually only be assumed to be part of some imagined universe, until they come about.
EXAMPLE 1 The Eiffel Tower is an <actual_individual>.
EXAMPLE 2 The computer used to edit this part of ISO 15926 is an <actual_individual>.
EXAMPLE 3 The fictional character, Sherlock Holmes, is a <possible_individual> who is not an <actual_individual>.
EXAMPLE 4 The Earth in the year 2300 (assuming it still exists) is an <actual_individual>.
