Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent handle movement as an event by what moves, path, speed, cause and measurement.

A natural event that involves a change in the position or location of something, such as motion of bodies, a jet of fluid, the approach of an object or crustal and tectonic movements.

What it is for: Describing change of position in nature and technology.

It can be measure displacement and speed; track motion over time; explain causes of movement; monitor ground movement.

Distinguishing features

Change in position

Has path, speed and direction

Caused by forces

Ranges from particles to plates

What it looks like

Something changing place: flowing, sliding, approaching, shifting.

How it is recognised

Change of position over time

Kinds such as tectonic or fluid movement

Social or artistic movements are other senses

  2. Which entry fits? action

What the second pass must settle

  • Should kinds of movement be separate entries?
  • How should monitoring data be linked?
  • How should social and artistic movements be split off?
