[[Category:Ontology]][[Category:Entity Manipulation]]
Possession is a more specific type of ownership. An entity (the possessor) possess another entity when the possessor has the entity in its inventory. Possession is a persistant action that does not require triggering. Instead, entities begin to possess other entities as soon as they collect them, and continue possessing them until they are released. Possession implies ownership over the possessed entity.
