Inferences

Description	"Possessing" typically involves the Possessor controlling and/or having access to the Possession. In primary physical experience, the possessor holds/grasps the possessed object.
Type

Description	If the Possessor does not have control and/or access to an object, the possessor does not possess that object.
Type	negation

Description

In primary physical experience, the physical relation between Possessor and object indicates the status of the possession relation. Holding and/or grasping (and, more generally, co-location with) the object indicate possession; not holding/grasping indicate lack of possession. More generally, possession correlates with co-location of possessor and possessed object, and lack of possession with lack of co-location (i.e. some distance between the two)
