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 vice, relay ethical and religious concepts, famous lists and the legal sense from philosophy and religion sources with traditions attributed, describe the named lists and flag the veterinary sense, and distinguish vice from virtue, sin, crime and mere preference.
A vice is a habitual moral failing, bad habit or immoral behaviour, the opposite of a virtue, a concept in ethics and religion covering faults such as greed, envy and cruelty, with lists the registry aliases name such as the seven deadly sins, the Seven Social Sins or Blunders of the World attributed to Gandhi, the Buddhist eight mental dusts and stable vices in horses, which is a different, veterinary sense; the word also loosely means minor bad habits such as smoking or gambling, and vice in a legal sense refers to activities such as gambling and prostitution regulated as vice crimes. Ideas of what counts as a vice vary by ethical and religious tradition, presented with attribution.
What it is for: Naming moral failings and bad habits.
It can be explain ethical and religious concepts; relay famous lists and the legal sense; describe named lists and flag the veterinary sense; distinguish related concepts.
