8 bundles · 17 layers · 19 findings · 51 questions
Identity, naming and classification How an agent tells one peripheral nerve from another, and a peripheral nerve 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 peripheral nerve, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the name of a peripheral nerve, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the name of a peripheral nerve 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 peripheral nerve, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about an identifier for a peripheral nerve, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once an identifier for a peripheral nerve is known, and what must it refuse? action
Classification and granularity
Where a peripheral nerve 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 peripheral nerve, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the kind of a peripheral nerve, by which method, and when was it true? provenance

- Who or what asserted this about what distinguishes a peripheral nerve, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once what distinguishes a peripheral nerve is known, and what must it refuse? action
Form, composition and condition What a peripheral nerve is made of, what shape and size it takes, and what state it is in.
A physical thing can be measured, and a model that cannot record its measurements cannot support any decision that depends on them.
Form and dimensions
Shape, size, mass and the ranges these take across examples.
Measurable dimensions and their units
The quantities worth recording and the units they are recorded in.
- What identifies and describes the dimensions of a peripheral nerve, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the dimensions of a peripheral nerve, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the dimensions of a peripheral nerve is known, and what must it refuse? action
Material and composition
Anatomy, parts and life stage.
Parts and life stages
The parts of a peripheral nerve and the stages it passes through.
- What identifies and describes the composition of a peripheral nerve, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the composition of a peripheral nerve, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the composition of a peripheral nerve is known, and what must it refuse? action
Condition and integrity
Wear, damage, health and the difference between working and broken.
Condition, damage and health
How the condition of a peripheral nerve is judged and by whom.
- What identifies and describes the condition of a peripheral nerve, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the condition of a peripheral nerve, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the condition of a peripheral nerve is known, and what must it refuse? action
Place and movement Where a peripheral nerve is, how it got there and where it may go (self-moving).
A thing that can move needs its position recorded with a time, or every later claim about it is about a place it has left.
Location and placement
Position, containment and the reference frame the position is given in.
Position, container and reference frame
Where a peripheral nerve is, and what that position is measured against.
- What identifies and describes the location of a peripheral nerve, and in what units or vocabulary? definition

- Who or what asserted this about the movement of a peripheral nerve, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the movement of a peripheral nerve is known, and what must it refuse? action
State and lifecycle The states a peripheral nerve 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 peripheral nerve between them.
- What identifies and describes the lifecycle of a peripheral nerve, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the lifecycle of a peripheral nerve, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the lifecycle of a peripheral nerve is known, and what must it refuse? action
Observations and current status
What is observed about a peripheral nerve, how often and by whom.
Observation record
How an observation of a peripheral nerve is recorded so that it can be superseded rather than overwritten.
- What identifies and describes an observation of a peripheral nerve, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about an observation of a peripheral nerve, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once an observation of a peripheral nerve is known, and what must it refuse? action
Taxonomic placement and identification What peripheral nerve is called scientifically, by whose authority, and how a specimen is recognised.
Names change with revisions while the organism does not, so a name without its authority and date cannot be reconciled later.
Accepted name and synonymy
The current binomial, its author and date, and the names it replaced.
Accepted name, authority and synonyms
What to record so a later revision can be applied without losing the old data.
- What is the accepted scientific name of peripheral nerve, with its author and year, and which synonyms does it absorb? definition
- Which taxonomic authority is being followed, and what would a competing authority say? provenance
Field identification
The characters that separate peripheral nerve from what it is confused with.
Diagnostic characters and confusable kinds
Features that settle an identification, and those that only suggest it.
- Which observable characters distinguish peripheral nerve from its closest look-alikes, and at which life stage are they visible? boundary
- What evidence is enough to record an identification as confirmed rather than provisional? provenance
Life stages, condition and behaviour What peripheral nerve does over its life and how its state is judged.
Stage and condition change what may be done - handled, treated, harvested, left alone - and both are observations with a time.
Stages and reproduction
Development from origin to death, including forms that look like different animals.
Life stages and their marks
The stages worth recording and what tells them apart.
- What stages does peripheral nerve pass through, and what observable change marks each transition? definition
- Which stages are so unlike the adult that they are mistaken for another kind? boundary
Health and condition
How condition is assessed and by whom.
Condition assessment
Signs of health, injury and stress, and who is competent to judge them.
- How is the condition of peripheral nerve judged, on what scale, and by whom? measurement
- What condition obliges an agent to act, and what act is permitted to whom? action
Habitat, range and conservation status Where peripheral nerve lives and how threatened it is.
Range and status govern what is lawful, and both are assessments with an assessor and a year rather than facts of nature.
Habitat and range
Native range, introductions and the habitat it needs.
Range, introductions and habitat
What to record about where it is found and how it got there.
- What is the native range of peripheral nerve, where has it been introduced, and what habitat does it require? definition
- What distinguishes a native record from an introduced or vagrant one? boundary
Protection and legal status
Conservation assessments and the rules that follow from them.
Conservation status and legal consequence
The assessment, its date, and what it forbids or requires where.
- What conservation status does peripheral nerve hold, under which assessment and year? provenance
- What does that status forbid or require of an agent, and in which jurisdiction? action
Provenance, evidence and time Where every claim about a peripheral nerve 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 peripheral nerve and how confident it is.
- What identifies and describes a claim about a peripheral nerve, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about a claim about a peripheral nerve, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once a claim about a peripheral nerve is known, and what must it refuse? action

When a claim was true, when it was learnt, and what replaced it.
Validity period and supersession
How an old claim about a peripheral nerve is retired without being erased.
- What identifies and describes the validity of a claim about a peripheral nerve, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the validity of a claim about a peripheral nerve, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the validity of a claim about a peripheral nerve is known, and what must it refuse? action
