order
Let an agent explain order as a general concept and its main senses, relay how social, economic and sequential order are understood in sociology, economics and everyday usage, describe specific senses such as birth order, and distinguish this general concept from orders as commands, religious orders, biological orders and mathematical order relations.
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.

What it is Filled
The condition of things being arranged in a sequence, pattern or system, or of a society and its institutions functioning in a regular, stable and lawful way, covering senses from social order and economic order, the frameworks of rules and relations in a society or economy, to sequences such as birth order among siblings, including closely spaced siblings sometimes called Irish twins, and arrangement conventions such as the layout of face buttons on a game controller; the registry entry groups these disparate senses under one heading.
