Aliases: [ Localized spatial things, Locatable thing, Locatable things, Things with a location, Thing with a location ]
A specialization of both spatial thing and thing that exists in time. This is the collection of all spatial things, tangible or intangible, that can meaningfully be said to have location or position in the empirical universe.
Examples of spatially-localized things include all tangible thing things, such as trees and ships, as well as certain intangible spatial things, like the the Equator. Also included are those events that can be pinned-down to specific places (see localized event), and thus all PhysicalEvents. Excluded from this collection are any SpatialThings that are not localized, such as -- arguably -- purely abstract geometrical figures (e.g. a Platonic sphere).
Note that a fictional or imaginary object (such as Frodo, Captain Queeg, or the computer HAL 9000) is typically localized with respect to the universe of the fictional/imagnary context in which it is found, and so is an instance of localized spatial thing with respect to that context.
