doctrine
Let an agent explain doctrines by field, source and interpretation, attribute them to the bodies that hold them, and keep military doctrine at a general, non-operational level.
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 doctrines by field, source and interpretation, attribute them to the bodies that hold them, and keep military doctrine at a general, non-operational level.
A codified set of beliefs, principles or positions taught or held by a group, such as religious doctrines, legal doctrines developed by courts, economic doctrines and military doctrines described at a general level; dogmatism is rigid adherence to doctrine.
What it is for: Understanding systems of belief, legal principles and policy.
It can be identify the source and holder of a doctrine; explain legal doctrines in general terms; describe religious doctrines as traditions state them; compare economic doctrines with attribution.
