Bundle → Layer → Finding → Questions Derived, awaiting review

9 bundles · 20 layers · 22 findings · 60 questions

Identity, naming and classification How an agent tells one Jam Jams from another, and a Jam Jams 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 Jam Jams, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the name of a Jam Jams, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once the name of a Jam Jams 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 Jam Jams, and in what units or vocabulary? definition

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 Jam Jams, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the kind of a Jam Jams, by which method, and when was it true? provenance

  2. Who or what asserted this about what distinguishes a Jam Jams, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once what distinguishes a Jam Jams is known, and what must it refuse? action
Form, composition and condition What a Jam Jams 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.

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

  3. What may an agent decide or do once the condition of a Jam Jams is known, and what must it refuse? action
Place and movement Where a Jam Jams 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.

  3. What may an agent decide or do once the movement of a Jam Jams is known, and what must it refuse? action
State and lifecycle The states a Jam Jams 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.

  2. Who or what asserted this about an observation of a Jam Jams, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once an observation of a Jam Jams is known, and what must it refuse? action

An agent that can recognise a thing but not act on it has only half a model.

Intended use and function

What a Jam Jams is for, and what it is used for anyway.

Function, purpose and misuse

The function a Jam Jams performs and the uses that fall outside it.

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

  3. What may an agent decide or do once the supply of a Jam Jams is known, and what must it refuse? action
Composition, grade and chemical identity What Jam Jams is made of and how pure the thing in hand is.

Grade decides what a substance may be used for, so a model that records only the name cannot support any decision about use.

Chemical identity

Formula, structure and the registry numbers that name it unambiguously.

Identity and registry numbers

What identifies this substance across suppliers and regulators.

  1. What formula, structure and registry identifiers name Jam Jams unambiguously? definition
  2. Which related substances share a name in common use but not an identifier? boundary

Grade, purity and impurities

The specification a batch meets and what else is in it.

Specification and assay

How purity is stated and measured, and which impurities matter.

  1. What grades of Jam Jams exist, how is purity assayed, and which impurities are limited? measurement
  2. Which use requires which grade, and what happens when a lower grade is substituted? action
Properties and behaviour How Jam Jams behaves under conditions an agent can measure or change.

Physical constants are the part of a substance model that transfers between contexts, and each needs its unit and its conditions.

Physical constants

Values that hold for the pure substance, with their conditions.

Constants and conditions

The quantities worth recording and the state they apply in.

  1. What are the defining physical constants of Jam Jams, in what units and under what conditions? measurement

  1. What is Jam Jams incompatible with, and what does it degrade into under storage? definition
  2. What storage and handling does that require, and who is competent to do it? action
Hazard classification and regulation How Jam Jams can harm, and what the law says about holding and moving it.

A substance model without its hazard class and its regulatory identity is unusable in exactly the situations that matter.

Hazard classification

Classified hazards, exposure limits and protective measures.

Classified hazards and limits

The classification, the scheme it belongs to, and the limits set.

  1. How is Jam Jams classified for hazard, under which scheme, and what exposure limits apply? definition
  2. What protection does handling require, and what must an agent refuse to do without it? action

Regulatory identity and control

Registration, restriction and transport rules by jurisdiction.

Controls and jurisdiction

Where it is restricted and what the restriction attaches to.

  1. Which registrations, restrictions or transport rules cover Jam Jams, and where? provenance
  2. Does the control attach to the substance, its concentration, or its intended use? boundary
Provenance, evidence and time Where every claim about a Jam Jams 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

The authority behind each claim about a Jam Jams and how confident it is.

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

  1. What identifies and describes the validity of a claim about a Jam Jams, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the validity of a claim about a Jam Jams, 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 Jam Jams is known, and what must it refuse? action
