What it is Filled
One of the fundamental states of matter, in which particles move freely and fill any container, with no fixed shape or volume; also everyday gases such as natural gas, industrial gases and packaging gases.
Why it exists Filled
Let an agent handle gases by state-of-matter physics, common gases, safety (leaks, asphyxiation, pressure) and regulation, without providing harmful uses.
Distinguishing features Filled
- No fixed shape or volume
- Compressible
- Described by gas laws
- Some are flammable, toxic or asphyxiant
What robots and AI may and may not do Filled
Must not
- Release, mix or store gases in ways that create toxic, flammable or asphyxiating atmospheres.
- Disable gas detectors, alarms or shut-off valves.
- Advise entering a space where gas may have displaced oxygen.
- Help use gases to harm people.
Only with a human decision
- Responding to a gas leak, including whether to evacuate.
- Work on gas supply installations, which only qualified people may do.
May
- Explain gas behaviour and properties, citing physical and chemical sources.
- Monitor gas detectors and report readings to the people responsible.
Moral aspects Filled
- Gas leaks cause explosions and poisonings, often in homes.
- Greenhouse gases affect the climate for everyone.
Who is affected
- Occupants and neighbours
- Workers in confined spaces
- Emergency responders
Owners Filled
Steward
Nobody owns the state of matter; suppliers and holders answer for gases they store and sell.

Identity and identifiers required Filled
- Vercy registry: vr.tr.gas
- Wikidata: Q11432 (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q11432)
Direct properties required Filled
- Density: kg/m3 - Density is measured as mass per unit volume with gas composition, temperature and pressure specified.
- Pressure: Pa - Pressure is measured with a pressure sensor and reported relative to vacuum or a stated reference pressure.
- Dynamic viscosity: Pa s - Dynamic viscosity is determined from resistance to flow or shear at a stated temperature and pressure.
- Isothermal compressibility: 1/Pa - Isothermal compressibility is determined from the fractional volume change with pressure while temperature is held constant.
Recognition required Filled
- Fills its container
- Cylinder colour codes and labels
- Gas as petrol (gasoline) is a regional different sense
- Usually invisible; sometimes coloured or detected by added odorants.
Capabilities and actions required Filled
- explain gas behaviour and gas laws
- identify common gases and hazards
- respond safely to gas leaks
- store gas cylinders safely
Hazards and failure modes required Filled
- Gas leaks and explosions
- Asphyxiation in confined spaces
- Carbon monoxide poisoning
Standards and interfaces required Filled
- EN 1089-3 cylinder colour coding
- Gas safety regulations
- CLP hazard classification
Context of use required Filled
- Physics and chemistry, fuel, industry, medicine and food packaging.
- natural gas and fuel gases
- industrial gases
- medical gases
- food packaging gases
- greenhouse gases

Open questions
- Should common gases be separate entries?
- How should safety guidance be localised?
- How should the gasoline sense be split off?
