Gerund Ambiguity and the Shell Game

In the conceptual model world this is the nature of a gerund as described here:

Associative Entity: an entity type that associates the instances of one or more entity types and contains attributes that are peculiar to the relationship between those entity instances
# Sometimes called a gerund
" The data modeler chooses to model the
relationship as an entity type.


For example: 

Person ride Bike.  The verb "ride"  implements the relationship.
                      
Person riding Bike.  The gerund not only implements the relationship 
but goes on to contain noun associated attributes of its own analogous to the               Subject/Object noun things have attributes but under the usage of a verb in the relationship structure.


Perhaps not ambiguous at all but leading to perceptions of which shell in a three shell and pea game the pea is hiding under.  In the simplest form it hided only under the shell that was moved but in order to move it must change position.  Change is where the pea hides.  


Gerunds are very interesting entities.  They are subject to being highly defined conceptually but highly manipulated perceptually.  Especially if the game is deception and fraud.
