enclave or exclave
Let an agent explain the general category of enclaves and exclaves and their combinations, relay definitions, classification and legal arrangements from geographic and legal sources, describe pene-enclaves and practical cases, and distinguish the general category from the specific concepts of enclave and exclave and from ethnic enclaves.
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 the general category of enclaves and exclaves and their combinations, relay definitions, classification and legal arrangements from geographic and legal sources, describe pene-enclaves and practical cases, and distinguish the general category from the specific concepts of enclave and exclave and from ethnic enclaves.
A territorial configuration in which a piece of land is either surrounded entirely by the territory of another state or unit, an enclave, or separated from its main territory and reachable only by crossing another territory, an exclave, or both at once, together with pene-enclaves and pene-exclaves that are attached to their own territory but practically reachable only through another, as with mountain roads or peninsulas; the category covers sovereign, subnational and municipal cases and their legal and practical arrangements.
What it is for: Not applicable; a geographic category.
It can be explain the category and combinations; relay classification; describe pene-enclaves and cases; distinguish related concepts.
Distinguishing features
Territorial detachment or encirclement
Enclave and exclave distinction
Practical access issues
All administrative levels
What it looks like
Not a visible object; territories on maps.
Physical character
true sovereign enclaves: 3 count - Lesotho, San Marino, Vatican City
well-known exclave: Kaliningrad Oblast example - Russia
pene-exclave example: Point Roberts example - United States
How it is recognised
Territory surrounded by or detached from its own
Enclaves, exclaves, enclaves that are also exclaves, pene-enclaves, pene-exclaves
Ethnic enclaves are social; islands are separated by water rather than another territory
