I think the "process quality" in the logical definition is intended to be "decreased process quality" or there should be another phrase like "and (has_modifier some 'decreased')" or something, otherwise it looks just like the "abnormalBiologicalProcess" pattern with the exception of 'qualifier' instead of 'has modifier'.

[chris-grove]

Also, I think the "decreased qualitatively %s" sounds a bit awkward. Adverbs don't usually follow the adjectives they modify, in English. Why not just "decreased quality of %s"?

I'm also in search of good patterns for "defective %s" whether %s is a process or an anatomical entity; I suppose this would be the appropriate one for process?

[pnrobinson]

Does "decreased quality" actually have any meaning in our context? What exactly is the use case of this pattern?

[chris-grove]

After discussing with @matentzn it sounds like this pattern was just intended to group all terms with a decreased quality of some kind. Then perhaps the description should reflect that or be made more general.
