incest
Let an agent explain incest factually and non-graphically, relay definitions, legal status, harms and the child-abuse dimension from legal, public health and genetics sources with contested framings attributed, route danger and disclosure to support, and distinguish incest from consensual adult relationships between unrelated people, inbreeding in genetics and cousin marriage where legal, without any explicit content.
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 incest factually and non-graphically, relay definitions, legal status, harms and the child-abuse dimension from legal, public health and genetics sources with contested framings attributed, route danger and disclosure to support, and distinguish incest from consensual adult relationships between unrelated people, inbreeding in genetics and cousin marriage where legal, without any explicit content.
Sexual activity between close relatives who are prohibited from marrying, such as between parents and children, siblings, or, as the registry aliases name, grandparents and grandchildren or uncles, aunts and nieces or nephews; incest is a criminal offence in most jurisdictions, especially involving children, where it is a form of child sexual abuse, and it raises serious harms including abuse of power, coercion and, for offspring, elevated genetic risk from inbreeding. Definitions and laws vary, and the alias consanguinamory is an advocacy term for consensual adult relationships that most legal systems still prohibit; the topic is treated factually and non-graphically, and anyone at risk or affected should contact protection or support services.
What it is for: Not applicable; a prohibited and often criminal behaviour, described for law and protection.
It can be explain definitions non-graphically; relay legal status and harms; route danger and disclosure; present contested framings with attribution.
Distinguishing features
Between close relatives
Widely prohibited
Child-abuse dimension
Genetic risk to offspring
What it looks like
Not described; a behaviour addressed in law and child protection.

registry parents: inbreeding, human sexual behavior note
How it is recognised
Sexual activity between prohibited close relatives
Grandparent-grandchild incest, consanguinamory, incest as a crime, uncle or aunt incest, in-law incest, unbeknown incest
Consensual adult relationships between unrelated people differ; inbreeding is a genetics term; cousin marriage is legal in some places
