Generated draft, first pass
This model was drafted by rule from what the registry knows about the thing. It proposes which bundles a real model will need and which questions research must answer. It is not researched and no sentence in it is sourced.

Identity, naming and classification How an agent tells one order of battle from another, and a order of battle from things that resemble it.
Recognition comes before every other claim. Without stable identity nothing else in the model can be trusted to be about the same thing twice.
Names and identifiers
The names this thing goes by and the identifiers that survive translation and time.
Preferred name, aliases and local names
Which name to use, which names mean the same thing, and which merely sound similar.
- What identifies and describes the name of a order of battle, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the name of a order of battle, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the name of a order of battle is known, and what must it refuse? action
Stable identifiers and external keys
Identifiers that keep pointing at this kind of thing across systems and languages.
- What identifies and describes an identifier for a order of battle, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about an identifier for a order of battle, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once an identifier for a order of battle is known, and what must it refuse? action
Classification and granularity
Where a order of battle sits among kinds, and how finely a task needs to cut it.
Kind, parents and neighbouring kinds
The classes this thing belongs to and the ones it is next to.
- What identifies and describes the kind of a order of battle, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the kind of a order of battle, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the kind of a order of battle is known, and what must it refuse? action
Distinguishing features
What separates a order of battle from the things most often confused with it.
- What identifies and describes what distinguishes a order of battle, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about what distinguishes a order of battle, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once what distinguishes a order of battle is known, and what must it refuse? action
State and lifecycle The states a order of battle passes through and the events that move it between them.
Most decisions about a thing depend on what state it is in now, which is a claim with a time on it, not a property.
Lifecycle stages
From coming into existence to ceasing to be one of these.
Stages and transitions
The stages worth naming and what moves a order of battle between them.
- What identifies and describes the lifecycle of a order of battle, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the lifecycle of a order of battle, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the lifecycle of a order of battle is known, and what must it refuse? action
Observations and current status
What is observed about a order of battle, how often and by whom.
Observation record
How an observation of a order of battle is recorded so that it can be superseded rather than overwritten.
- What identifies and describes an observation of a order of battle, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about an observation of a order of battle, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once an observation of a order of battle is known, and what must it refuse? action
Temporal extent and dating When order of battle began and ended, and who says so.
Dates for events are conventions held by historiographies that disagree, and a single confident date hides the disagreement.
Dating and calendar
Start, end, granularity and the calendar used.
Dates, granularity and authority
What is dated, how precisely, and on whose account.
- What start and end are conventionally given for order of battle, at what granularity, in which calendar? definition
- Which accounts date it differently, and on what grounds? provenance
What counts as part of it
Sub-events included or excluded, and by whom.
Inclusion and exclusion
The episodes treated as inside the event and those left out.
- Which episodes are counted as part of order of battle, and which are treated as separate? boundary
- Whose framing is being followed in that inclusion, and who frames it otherwise? provenance
Participants, causes and consequences Who took part in order of battle and what is claimed to follow from it.
Causation around events is asserted rather than observed, so each claim needs the party asserting it.
Participants and roles
Parties involved and what each did.
Parties and their roles
Who is recorded as involved and in what capacity.
- Which parties took part in order of battle, in what roles, and on whose account? provenance
- Where do accounts disagree about who was involved? boundary
Causes and consequences
What is claimed to have caused it and followed from it.
Causal claims and who makes them
Antecedents and outcomes as attributed claims.
- What causes and consequences are attributed to order of battle, and by whom? provenance
- What would an agent need before treating such a claim as settled rather than contested? action
Provenance, evidence and time Where every claim about a order of battle came from and when it held.
A claim without a source and a time cannot be superseded, only overwritten, and an agent that overwrites loses the ability to explain itself.
Source and authority
Who said it, on what evidence, and how strongly.
Claim provenance and confidence
The authority behind each claim about a order of battle and how confident it is.
- What identifies and describes a claim about a order of battle, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about a claim about a order of battle, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once a claim about a order of battle is known, and what must it refuse? action
Time, versions and supersession
When a claim was true, when it was learnt, and what replaced it.
Validity period and supersession
How an old claim about a order of battle is retired without being erased.
- What identifies and describes the validity of a claim about a order of battle, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the validity of a claim about a order of battle, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the validity of a claim about a order of battle is known, and what must it refuse? action

What it is Derived, awaiting review
A cross-cutting notion registered under XCT.QLT. The registry names it; this draft has not been given a definition yet.
Why it exists Derived, awaiting review
Give an agent a durable, checkable way to recognise a order of battle, record what state it is in, and decide what may be done with it.
Distinguishing features Derived, awaiting review
- Names folded into this entry, which a task may need to split apart again: Northern Kharkiv front of the Russo-Ukrainian war order of battle.
- 1 finer distinctions are held as aliases rather than separate entries, because telling them apart needs a task that asks for it.
- Described in 20 Wikipedia languages, which is a measure of how widely the thing is known, not of how important it is.
What robots and AI may and may not do Derived, awaiting review
May
- observe it, measure it, record its state

Direct properties not applicable Not applicable
- Made of: an abstraction with no physical instance
- Does nothing on its own; everything it does, something else did to it.
- These come from the domain this entry sits in rather than from the entry itself, so treat them as a first guess about the whole domain applied to one thing.
Recognition optional Derived, awaiting review
- Not a thing to see. Recognised by when it happened and who was involved, on the account of somebody.
Capabilities and actions required Derived, awaiting review
