New term ‘understanding achievement’
An understanding achievement is an achievement, which according to the entry Events in the Stanford Encyclopaedia of Philosophy1 is a culmination event that is always instantaneous. From this we propose to define understanding achievement as follows:
An ‘understanding achievement’ is a BFO:process boundary which serves as the culmination in during understanding.
According to Arp et al. (2015)2
A BFO:process boundary is an occurrent entity that is the instantaneous temporal boundary of a process. Process boundaries are the beginnings and endings of the process they bound"
