Smart Forfour
Give an agent a durable, checkable way to recognise a Smart Forfour, record what state it is in, and decide what may be done with it.
Generated draft, first pass
This model was drafted by rule from what the registry knows about the thing. It proposes which bundles a real model will need and which questions research must answer. It is not researched and no sentence in it is sourced.

Identity, naming and classification How an agent tells one Smart Forfour from another, and a Smart Forfour 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.
- What identifies and describes the name of a Smart Forfour, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the name of a Smart Forfour, by which method, and when was it true? provenance

Form, composition and condition What a Smart Forfour 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.
- What identifies and describes the dimensions of a Smart Forfour, and in what units or vocabulary? definition

- Who or what asserted this about the condition of a Smart Forfour, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the condition of a Smart Forfour is known, and what must it refuse? action
Place and movement Where a Smart Forfour 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.
Position, container and reference frame
Where a Smart Forfour is, and what that position is measured against.

- Who or what asserted this about the movement of a Smart Forfour, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the movement of a Smart Forfour is known, and what must it refuse? action
State and lifecycle The states a Smart Forfour 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 Smart Forfour between them.
- What identifies and describes the lifecycle of a Smart Forfour, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the lifecycle of a Smart Forfour, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the lifecycle of a Smart Forfour is known, and what must it refuse? action
Observations and current status
What is observed about a Smart Forfour, how often and by whom.
Observation record
How an observation of a Smart Forfour is recorded so that it can be superseded rather than overwritten.
- What identifies and describes an observation of a Smart Forfour, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about an observation of a Smart Forfour, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once an observation of a Smart Forfour is known, and what must it refuse? action
Use and operation What can be done with a Smart Forfour and what it takes to do it.
An agent that can recognise a thing but not act on it has only half a model.
Intended use and function
What a Smart Forfour is for, and what it is used for anyway.
Function, purpose and misuse
The function a Smart Forfour performs and the uses that fall outside it.
- What identifies and describes the use of a Smart Forfour, and in what units or vocabulary? definition

- Who or what asserted this about handling a Smart Forfour, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once handling a Smart Forfour is known, and what must it refuse? action
Provenance, evidence and time Where every claim about a Smart Forfour 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 Smart Forfour and how confident it is.
- What identifies and describes a claim about a Smart Forfour, and in what units or vocabulary? definition

How an old claim about a Smart Forfour is retired without being erased.
- What identifies and describes the validity of a claim about a Smart Forfour, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the validity of a claim about a Smart Forfour, by which method, and when was it true? provenance

What it is Derived, awaiting review
A physical thing registered under PHY.OBJ. The registry names it; this draft has not been given a definition yet.
Why it exists Derived, awaiting review
Give an agent a durable, checkable way to recognise a Smart Forfour, record what state it is in, and decide what may be done with it.
Distinguishing features Derived, awaiting review
- Names folded into this entry, which a task may need to split apart again: Smart Forfour (W454), Smart Forfour (W453).
- 2 finer distinctions are held as aliases rather than separate entries, because telling them apart needs a task that asks for it.
- Described in 26 Wikipedia languages, which is a measure of how widely the thing is known, not of how important it is.
What robots and AI may and may not do Derived, awaiting review
May
- observe it, measure it, record its state

Direct properties required Derived, awaiting review
- Made of: matter you can touch
- Mobility varies between examples.
- Does nothing on its own; everything it does, something else did to it.
- These come from the domain this entry sits in rather than from the entry itself, so treat them as a first guess about the whole domain applied to one thing.
Recognition required Derived, awaiting review
- Recognised by form and material. The registry holds no appearance data, so what a Smart Forfour looks like has to come from research.
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
- Described in 26 Wikipedia languages, which measures how widely it is written about rather than how important or how common it is. 2 finer distinctions are held inside this entry as names rather than as separate models.
