Documentation:

A binary relation HAS-AT-LEAST n values on domain instance i if there exist no more than n distinct values v_j such that R(i,v_j) holds.

When used in the definition of a class where ?i is the instance variable, (HAS-AT-MOST ?i R n) means that the slot R can have at most n values on any instances of the class.
