Cars aren't real.

When you disassemble an automobile, the car disappears, revealing its essence as transcending the mere assembly of its parts. Consider a rusted-out engine, a battered fender, or even a solitary screw lying on the roadside. If you drove by, which, if any, would you identify as a car on the side of the road? Would your passenger agree with you? Each abandoned item is a component of an automobile, yet not all inherently indicate a car on the side of the road, reflecting the nebulous thresholds for the signification of COSOR.

Given the human tendency to feel discomfort in uncertainty, it may be tempting to establish a set of inclusion criteria, thereby creating a structure to define the car on the side of the road more precisely. However, the concept of COSOR thrives on amorphousness, with much of its power derived from its potential for fluidity. Accordingly, the COSOR typology is developed through the identification and interpretation of qualitative characteristics observed in abandoned vehicles, aligning with the subjective nature of COSOR signification.
