An entity is something that has a distinct, separate existence, though it need not be a material existence. In particular, abstractions and legal fictions are usually regarded as entities. In general, there is also no presumption that an entity is animate. An entity could be viewed as a set containing subsets. In philosophy, such sets are said to be abstract objects.

A legal entity is a legal construct through which the law allows a group of natural persons to act as if it were an individual for certain purposes. The most common purposes are lawsuits, property ownership, and contracts. This allows for easy conduct of business by having ownership, lawsuits, and agreements under the name of the legal entity instead of the several names of the people making up the entity. A legal entity is not necessarily distinct from the natural persons of which it is composed. Most legal entities are simply ...

It is one of the strongest programs of its type and has won the Loebner Prize three times (in 2000, 2001 and 2004). However, the program is unable to pass the Turing test as e ...

Later, while Lore was aboard the Enterprise, he summoned the entity once again, this time with the intent to destroy the ship. The attempt was unsuccessful and the entity moved on.

It is argued that these autonomous entities have facilitated the preservation and development of non-Han Chinese cultures while maintaining the territorial integrity of China. However, they have also drawn criticism from various groups. Some have questioned the necessity of setti ...
