Koi identity and ornamental form Establishes what makes the fish a koi and how its ornamental features are described.
Carp and koi boundary
Separates organism identification from ornamental naming.
Evidence for koi identification
Record visible carp features and ornamental provenance together, preserving uncertainty where either is missing.
- Which observed features, including mouth barbels and body form, support identification as koi rather than goldfish? boundary
- What breeding, acquisition or keeping history supports calling this ornamental carp a koi? provenance
Variety and individual recognition
Describes ornamental phenotype while maintaining a durable individual identity.
Observed traits before variety labels
Record pattern, colour, scale coverage, lustre and fin form independently of a claimed variety name.
- Which visible traits support the claimed variety, and whose naming convention is being used? definition
- Which dated photographs or distinctive markings identify this fish if its colour or pattern changes? measurement
Growth, condition and reproduction Tracks the koi's development and physical state across its life.
Growth and body profile
Makes size observations comparable over time.
Comparable growth observations
Interpret length and body profile through dated observations with consistent methods and environmental context.
- What is the measured length, and does the convention include the extended tail fins? measurement
- How have body profile and growth changed alongside season, feeding and water temperature? measurement
Sex, maturity and spawning
Distinguishes reproductive observations from inferred sex or maturity.
Reproductive state with evidence
Keep the basis of reproductive assessments explicit and document spawning-related changes separately from ordinary condition.
- What evidence supports the recorded sex and maturity assessment, and how certain is it? measurement
- If spawning behaviour is observed, what monitoring or protection is needed for this fish and its companions? action
Pond dependence and daily welfare Connects the individual koi to water conditions, feeding and social behaviour.
Water exposure and response
Links measured water conditions to observations of the fish.
Dated water context
Associate observations with contemporaneous water measurements instead of assuming that clear water is suitable water.
- What were temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, ammonia and nitrite when the koi's behaviour was observed? measurement
- Do the results or recent changes require a care response under an established koi husbandry protocol? action
Feeding and social baseline
Establishes the individual's normal activity and access to food.
Individual behaviour in pond context
Assess appetite and swimming against the koi's baseline, water temperature and interactions with other fish.
- How do feeding response, swimming posture and group participation compare with this koi's normal behaviour at similar temperatures? measurement
- Is competition, crowding or disturbance limiting this koi's access to food or undisturbed space? boundary
Provenance, health and movement Connects origin claims, health observations and contact history to transfer decisions.
Breeding and acquisition record
Separates documented origin from seller claims and visual inference.
Traceable origin claims
Attach breeder, lineage and age claims to records that can be matched to the individual fish.
- Which breeder, hatch date or lineage claims have supporting records rather than being inferred from appearance or size? provenance
- How do photographs, identifiers or transfer records connect those claims to this specific koi? provenance
Health observation and transfer readiness
Organises evidence needed before handling, transport or introduction.
Movement decision evidence
Combine visible condition, recent behaviour, shared-water exposure and documented quarantine or testing without equating normal appearance with absence of infection.
- What recent lesions, fin changes, abnormal behaviour, shared-water contacts or quarantine events are recorded? provenance
- What additional assessment and transport or acclimation arrangements are needed before this koi moves? action
Evidence and external alignment What the world already says about this thing, gathered so the model can be checked against it.
Reported evidence

What it is Filled
Koi is a Lao-Thai salad dish made with raw beef and seasonings.
In scope
- Dish identity includes its Lao-Thai culinary context.
- Reported ingredients and regional variations inform identification.
- The raw state of the beef is relevant to food safety.
- Ingredient records support allergen and dietary information.
Out of scope
- Ornamental carp belong to a different sense of koi.
- Other dishes sharing the name require separate identification.
- Preparation instructions and food processing procedures are outside this model.
- Clinical diagnosis and treatment of foodborne illness are outside this model.
Why it exists Filled
Enable an agent to identify koi in its Lao-Thai raw-beef salad sense, describe its culinary context and communicate relevant food safety risks.
Distinguishing features Filled
- The supplied sense identifies a salad dish rather than a living fish.
- Raw beef is the defining main ingredient in this sense.
- Culinary context and ingredient information distinguish this dish from other uses of the name.
- Seasonings and presentation may vary without changing the specified raw-beef salad identity.
What robots and AI may and may not do Filled
Must not
- Present raw beef as safe based on appearance, freshness claims or seasoning.
- Conceal the presence of raw beef or known allergens.
- Invent ingredient or food safety assurances.
Only with a human decision
- A responsible food provider must resolve uncertain ingredient and allergen information.
- A qualified health professional must assess suspected foodborne illness.
May
- Describe the dish and its cultural context with attribution.
- Report documented ingredients and relevant food safety warnings.
- Explain that raw beef carries foodborne illness risks.
Moral aspects Filled
- Cultural descriptions should be respectful while communicating food safety risks clearly.
- People need accurate ingredient and raw-meat information to make informed choices.
Who is affected
- Consumers may be exposed to foodborne illness or allergens.
- Food preparers and vendors are responsible for accurate food information.
- Lao and Thai communities have an interest in accurate representation of their food traditions.
Owners Filled
Steward
The food preparer or provider is responsible for the dish and its ingredient information.
Master systems
- Food providers maintain menu and ingredient records.
- Food safety authorities maintain applicable food safety guidance.

Hazards and failure modes required Filled
- Raw beef can transmit foodborne pathogens and parasites.
- Seasoning does not establish that raw beef is safe to eat.
- Unreported ingredients can create allergen or dietary risks.
- Cross-contamination can expose other foods to pathogens.
Standards and interfaces required Filled
- Aquatic Animal Health Code, World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH), which lists koi herpesvirus disease.
Context of use required Filled
- In the specified food sense, koi is a Lao and northeastern Thai salad preparation that can contain raw beef mixed with herbs and seasonings.

Open questions
- Which taxonomic treatment should anchor the koi concept, and should the registry's PHY.MAT placement be corrected to an organism domain?
- Which koi variety authority should govern names and boundaries, including longfin forms and unclassified individuals?
- Which researched husbandry references should establish water-quality and feeding decision criteria across temperatures and life stages?
- Which jurisdiction-specific movement rules and professionally supported quarantine or testing protocols apply to the intended keeping context?
- Does an existing Vercy carp or ornamental-fish world model already cover this concept, requiring linkage or a narrower extension?
