urination
Let an agent explain the physiology of urination and normal patterns, relay general information on urinary symptoms and when to seek care from health bodies, describe social and regulatory aspects neutrally, and route personal medical questions to clinicians.
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 explain the physiology of urination and normal patterns, relay general information on urinary symptoms and when to seek care from health bodies, describe social and regulatory aspects neutrally, and route personal medical questions to clinicians.
The physiological process of releasing urine from the bladder through the urethra, controlled by the nervous system through bladder filling, sphincter control and voluntary release, varying by posture such as seated or standing, and by frequency and pattern, with irregular patterns indicating conditions such as infection, prostate enlargement, overactive bladder or diabetes; urination is a normal excretory function, is subject to social norms and public regulation, and is assessed in medicine through history, diaries and tests.
What it is for: Release of urine from the bladder.
It can be explain physiology; relay symptom guidance; describe social aspects neutrally; route personal questions.
Distinguishing features
Neural control
Voluntary and reflex components
Pattern indicators
Social regulation
What it looks like
Not physical as a concept; a bodily function.
How it is recognised
Release of urine controlled by bladder and sphincters
Normal excretory function
Urine production is renal; incontinence is loss of control
