Dear PATO team, with reference to the ENVO issue above, I'll be requesting a set of qualities that I think are general enough for PATO. Please let me know if the definitional form is okay and if I should fork and make a pull request or simply add more issues.
New term: tower-shaped
Definition: An elongated quality which inheres in a bearer by virtue of the bearer extending in an upward direction such that its height exceeds that of neighbouring material entities.

Comment: As the name suggests, this quality is borne by anything resembling a constructed tower. The notions of upward and height suggest that there is some kind of convention of what "up" and "down" is. For example towards or away from the core of a planet.
