What it is Filled

A companion contract for a Company Dimension that embeds governed scalar quantities in existing company records, with admitted units and quantity kinds, normalized decimal notation and exact affine unit conversions.

Why it exists Filled

Embed governed scalar quantities in existing company objects, preserve accepted normalized decimal notation and reproduce exact affine unit conversions without creating a second quantity master.

Distinguishing features Filled

  • Embeds governed quantities in existing company records instead of creating a second quantity master.
  • Distinguishes quantity kinds with equal dimensions, such as energy and torque.
  • Applies unit offsets only to points, never to differences, and keeps exact affine conversions.

What robots and AI may and may not do Filled

Must not

  • Insert zero for a missing quantity.
  • Infer uncertainty from the number of digits.
  • Invent a linear approximation for an unsupported transform.
  • Treat a measured value as authorization for billing or conformity.

Only with a human decision

  • Admitting a new unit or conversion definition.
  • Accepting a normalized value from an incompatible source.

May

  • Validate a quantity binding against its admitted unit definition.
  • Convert between units with an exact admitted conversion.
  • Compare two quantities after checking context and role equality.

Moral aspects Filled

  • Wrong units cause physical harm in medicine, engineering and logistics; refusing is safer than guessing.
  • Quantities used for billing affect what people pay.

Who is affected

  • People relying on dosages, loads or measurements
  • Customers billed by quantity

Owners Filled

Steward

The owner of the host record owns its quantity values; unit definitions are owned by the reference data steward.

Master systems

  • Host system of record
  • Unit and quantity-kind reference (for example QUDT, UCUM)

Links to other meta-models Filled

references

  • WM-XCT-008 - 0.3.0-research.1

aligned

  • vr.wm-xct-008

What else AI and robots need to interact with it Filled

Identity and identifiers required Filled

  • Host record ID with its single quantity slot.
  • Unit definition ID and version.

Direct properties not applicable Not applicable

Not applicable

A quantity value describes another object; the measured object carries the physical properties.

Recognition optional Filled

  • A quantity value has a decimal notation, a unit, a quantity kind and a role (point or difference).

Capabilities and actions required Filled

  • Use the existing host and its single semantic quantity slot. Do not create artificial hosts to evade this native limit; multi-field binding needs a separate adapter. Proposed action subject to authenticated host permission.
  • Keep the semantic assertion owner separate from the system recording a copy. Proposed action subject to authenticated host permission.
  • Resolve and admit the complete definition; code equality alone is insufficient. Proposed action subject to authenticated host permission.
  • Preserve the old value; refuse implicit upgrade and require explicit fresh admission. Proposed action subject to authenticated host permission.
  • Preserve absence and ask the source owner for missing evidence; do not insert zero. Proposed action subject to authenticated host permission.
  • Retain trailing zeros and signed zero; do not infer uncertainty from digits. Proposed action subject to authenticated host permission.
  • Unit one is explicit; an annotation or missing unit does not resolve the business subject. Proposed action subject to authenticated host permission.
  • Refuse equal dimensions with different kinds, including energy versus torque. Proposed action subject to authenticated host permission.
  • Use the declared role; offsets apply only to points. Do not infer a role from a glyph. Proposed action subject to authenticated host permission.
  • Require context/role equality before numeric comparison; domain permission remains external. Proposed action subject to authenticated host permission.
  • Normalize only under verified authority; refuse direct copying of incompatible source columns. Proposed action subject to authenticated host permission.
  • Do not relabel a rounded coefficient. Exactness is host evidence, not decimal syntax. Proposed action subject to authenticated host permission.
  • Refuse the unsupported transform and route extension needs to the host assertion owner; do not invent a linear approximation.
  • Run exact nested replay; schema validity alone cannot validate arithmetic. Proposed action subject to authenticated host permission.
  • Route billing or conformity requests to the respective host contract; a numeric coordinate is not an authorization. Proposed action subject to authenticated host permission.
  • Validate the stored binding after V3 outer checks with authenticated expected host parameters. Proposed action subject to authenticated host permission.
  • For the same master/writer/access and input kind/dimension/anchor/role/context, append a new native fact and validate the correction pair; preserve old bytes. A semantic or actor change requires a separate governed workflow. Proposed action subject to authenticated host permission.
  • Identical native append is refused. A future adapter must inspect conflicts before a governed skip. Proposed action subject to authenticated host permission.
  • Check current inspection permission separately from incoming-write permission and source authenticity. Proposed action subject to authenticated host permission.
  • Keep Price/FX, working calendars, uncertainty and localization open; do not claim EM-XCT-06 completion. Proposed action subject to authenticated host permission.

Hazards and failure modes required Filled

  • Unit confusion (for example pounds and kilograms).
  • Offset errors in temperature conversions.

Standards and interfaces required Filled

  • UCUM unit codes.
  • QUDT quantity kinds and units.
  • ISO/IEC 80000 quantities and units.

Context of use required Filled

  • Product data, logistics, maintenance and any record carrying measurements.

Open questions

  • Use the pinned companion schema/validator and trusted-host binding. Native outer validation alone does not enforce nested semantics. Consult the released adoption limits. Read the publication addendum before adoption. Every correction requires the retained predecessor and an explicit validate_correction call; head-only validation is insufficient. Read each conversion result with its own target, and govern unit/target changes explicitly. Native reference: one semantic quantity per existing host.
