An Agent has an Attribute which can take different Values, and the Agent selects and then begins to use some Value for that Attribute. The Attribute includes both physical (shape, color) and abstract (belief, practice) types. For some LUs in this frame, it is common for only the Value to be expressed, with the Attribute implicit. (Often this implicit attribute can be given second-layer expression on the Value. Note that such second-layer annotation should be assumed in the first two examples below.)
