decreased in magnitude relative to normal decreased amount lacks parts or has fewer parts of type has fewer parts of type PATO:0002001 has decreased number of has fewer physical parts of type PATO:0001569 quality The bearer of this quality has_part < n AND has_part > 0 of the indicated entity type, where n is the normal amount for a comparable organism. Note that the bearer of the quality is the whole, not the part. Formally: If a bearer entity e has fewer parts of type X at time t, then the number of instances x of X at t such that x part_of e is < n, where n is either the normal number for comparable entities, or n is stated explicitly. decreased number of Example: [E=hand Q=has_fewer_parts_of_type E2=digit] - applies to an organism that has no less fingers than is normal for organisms of that type. decreased object quality
