8 bundles · 17 layers · 19 findings · 51 questions

Identity, naming and classification How an agent tells one ethanol fireplace from another, and a ethanol fireplace 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.

  1. What identifies and describes the name of a ethanol fireplace, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the name of a ethanol fireplace, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once the name of a ethanol fireplace 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.

  1. What identifies and describes an identifier for a ethanol fireplace, and in what units or vocabulary? definition

Where a ethanol fireplace 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.

  1. What identifies and describes the kind of a ethanol fireplace, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the kind of a ethanol fireplace, by which method, and when was it true? provenance

Form, composition and condition What a ethanol fireplace 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.

  1. What identifies and describes the dimensions of a ethanol fireplace, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the dimensions of a ethanol fireplace, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once the dimensions of a ethanol fireplace is known, and what must it refuse? action

Material and composition

Materials, parts and how they are put together.

What a ethanol fireplace is built from and which parts are replaceable.

  1. What identifies and describes the composition of a ethanol fireplace, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the composition of a ethanol fireplace, by which method, and when was it true? provenance

Condition and integrity

Wear, damage, health and the difference between working and broken.

Condition, damage and health

How the condition of a ethanol fireplace is judged and by whom.

  1. What identifies and describes the condition of a ethanol fireplace, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the condition of a ethanol fireplace, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once the condition of a ethanol fireplace is known, and what must it refuse? action
Place and movement Where a ethanol fireplace is, how it got there and where it may go (varies).

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.

Where a ethanol fireplace is, and what that position is measured against.

  1. What identifies and describes the location of a ethanol fireplace, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the location of a ethanol fireplace, by which method, and when was it true? provenance

What counts as a movement, what records it and what limits it.

  1. What identifies and describes the movement of a ethanol fireplace, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the movement of a ethanol fireplace, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once the movement of a ethanol fireplace is known, and what must it refuse? action
State and lifecycle The states a ethanol fireplace 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 ethanol fireplace between them.

  1. What identifies and describes the lifecycle of a ethanol fireplace, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the lifecycle of a ethanol fireplace, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once the lifecycle of a ethanol fireplace is known, and what must it refuse? action

Observations and current status

What is observed about a ethanol fireplace, how often and by whom.

Observation record

How an observation of a ethanol fireplace is recorded so that it can be superseded rather than overwritten.

  1. What identifies and describes an observation of a ethanol fireplace, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about an observation of a ethanol fireplace, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once an observation of a ethanol fireplace is known, and what must it refuse? action
Function and operating principle What ethanol fireplace is for and how it achieves it.

Two devices with the same name can work on different principles, and the principle is what predicts failure and constrains use.

Intended function

The job it does, and the jobs it is used for anyway.

Function, principle and variants

What it does, how, and which variants do it differently.

  1. What function does ethanol fireplace perform, on what operating principle, and which variants differ in that principle? definition
  2. What use falls outside the intended function but happens in practice? boundary

Capacity and rating

The numbers that say what it can do and where it stops.

Ratings and their conditions

Rated capacity, power, throughput and the conditions each assumes.

  1. What ratings characterise ethanol fireplace, in what units, and under what stated conditions? measurement
  2. What happens beyond the rating - degradation, refusal, damage - and how is that detected? action
Operation, controls and state How ethanol fireplace is operated and what state it is in right now.

An agent acting on a device needs its current state and the controls that change it, not just its specification.

Controls and modes

What can be set, what that changes, and what is interlocked.

Control surface and interlocks

The settings available and the conditions that block them.

  1. What controls and modes does ethanol fireplace have, and what does each change? definition
  2. Which actions are interlocked or forbidden in which state, and what must be true before acting? action

Condition and maintenance

Wear, service intervals, consumables and the line between working and broken.

Condition, service and consumables

What is consumed, what is serviced, and how condition is judged.

  1. What consumables and service does ethanol fireplace need, at what interval, and on whose authority? measurement
  2. What evidence separates a unit that is working from one that is out of service? boundary
Kind, model and unit Whether a claim about ethanol fireplace is about the kind, a product line, or one physical unit.

This is the boundary most often got wrong for made things, and getting it wrong mixes a catalogue entry with the machine in the yard.

Level of reference

The three levels and what belongs at each.

What belongs to kind, model and unit

Which properties are shared by all of them and which are not.

  1. Which facts about ethanol fireplace hold for every one of them, which for a model, and which only for one unit? boundary
  2. What identifies an individual unit, and what should an agent do when it has only the kind? action

Standards and conformity

The standards a working example must meet and who attests it.

Standards, marks and attestation

Which standard applies, who certifies, and what the mark means.

  1. Which standards govern ethanol fireplace, issued by whom, and what does conformity actually assert? provenance
  2. What may an agent conclude from a certification mark, and what may it not? boundary
Provenance, evidence and time Where every claim about a ethanol fireplace 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 ethanol fireplace and how confident it is.

  1. What identifies and describes a claim about a ethanol fireplace, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about a claim about a ethanol fireplace, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once a claim about a ethanol fireplace 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 ethanol fireplace is retired without being erased.

  1. What identifies and describes the validity of a claim about a ethanol fireplace, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the validity of a claim about a ethanol fireplace, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once the validity of a claim about a ethanol fireplace is known, and what must it refuse? action

Give an agent a durable, checkable way to recognise a ethanol fireplace, record what state it is in, and decide what may be done with it.

Distinguishing features Derived, awaiting review

  • Described in 4 Wikipedia languages, which is a measure of how widely the thing is known, not of how important it is.

Recognition required Derived, awaiting review

  • Recognised by form, by the arrangement of its controls, and by markings - a plate, a model number, a certification mark. Form alone rarely separates two models that do very different things.

Capabilities and actions required Derived, awaiting review

  • observed and measured

Hazards and failure modes required Missing, in the backlog

Not described yet. This gap is in the card backlog.

Standards and interfaces required Missing, in the backlog

Not described yet. This gap is in the card backlog.

Context of use required Derived, awaiting review
