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.

Purpose and description
Enable an agent to recognise high-jump activity, assess attempts and performance in context, and identify appropriate next actions and unresolved judgements.
High jump is an athletics event in which competitors take off from one foot to clear a horizontal bar at progressively greater heights without dislodging it.
It can be Classify an observed jumping activity as high jump or a neighbouring activity.; Record an attempt with its bar height, movement observations, outcome and supporting evidence.; Compare attempts by phase to identify specific changes in execution.; Reconstruct height progression and determine available next choices using verified rules.; Identify missing measurements, disputed judgements or area-readiness issues requiring human review..
Distinguishing features
Performance concerns clearing a horizontal crossbar at a measured elevation, rather than maximising horizontal landing distance.
The athletics event uses a single-foot take-off without a pole or other vaulting implement.
An attempt includes an approach, take-off, clearance and landing; a standing reach or vertical-jump measurement alone is not a high-jump attempt.
Competitive performance depends on valid clearances and an attempt history, rather than estimated body elevation alone.
A particular clearance technique does not define the event: the model must accommodate different techniques within the applicable rules.
Scope
+ The distinction between high jump, other jumping events and generic jumping activity
+ Approach, single-foot take-off, bar clearance and landing as phases of an attempt
+ Bar heights, attempt outcomes and evidence supporting their interpretation
+ Height progression, passes and remaining opportunities under the applicable competition rules
+ Readiness of the approach area, crossbar assembly and landing area for an attempt
- Pole vault, long jump, triple jump and standing vertical-jump tests

Drafted structure
Bundle to layer to finding to question, as the second pass will find it: 5 bundles · 9 layers · 17 findings · 25 questions.
Event identity and context Establishes which high-jump activity is being represented and what makes its observations interpretable.
An official clearance, a practice jump and a vertical-jump test cannot be interpreted interchangeably.
High-jump boundary
Separates the athletics activity from other forms of jumping.
Crossbar clearance task
Identify whether the activity targets elevated crossbar clearance through an approach and single-foot take-off without vaulting equipment.
- What observed features establish that this is high jump rather than pole vault or a vertical-jump test? boundary
- Is this a complete high-jump attempt or a drill practising only one of its phases? definition
Practice or competition
Connects the activity to its session purpose and governing conditions.
Result authority
Distinguish informal observations from results judged under an identified ruleset.
- Who recorded or judged the clearance, and in what practice or competition context? provenance
- Which rule edition and event-specific conditions govern this attempt? provenance
Approach and take-off Represents how the jumper reaches and leaves the take-off point.
Bar-height outcomes alone cannot explain differences in the preparation and launch of successive jumps.
Approach execution
Records the route and rhythm leading into take-off.
Approach repeatability
Describe starting position, approach path and final-step consistency relative to the jumper's intended technique.
- What starting mark, approach side and path did the jumper use for this attempt? measurement
- How did the final steps differ from the intended approach or a comparable successful attempt? measurement
Take-off execution
Records the foot contact and location from which clearance begins.
Take-off position and foot
Locate take-off relative to the bar and distinguish observed foot contact from uncertain video interpretation.
- Which foot produced take-off, and what evidence supports that observation? provenance
- Where was the take-off contact relative to the crossbar and uprights? measurement
Clearance and landing Connects airborne execution, bar interaction and landing-area conditions.
A missed clearance and a problematic landing are different observations that may require different responses.
Bar passage
Describes how the jumper passes the crossbar and what happens to it.
Clearance sequence
Record technique, visible body passage and any bar contact without treating a single visual cue as the complete official judgement.
- Which clearance technique was used, and which parts of the body contacted the bar, if any? measurement
- What evidence distinguishes a clearance failure from a bar movement caused by another factor? provenance
Landing and area readiness
Relates the jumper's landing to the condition and availability of the jumping area.
Landing-zone observation
Record landing location and visible area issues relevant to whether another jump can proceed.
- Where did the jumper land relative to the intended landing area and its edges? measurement
- Do observed mat displacement, obstacles, surface conditions or equipment issues require inspection before another attempt? action
Attempts and height progression Represents the sequence of measured challenges, decisions and adjudicated outcomes.
High-jump results and next options depend on attempt history as well as the greatest height cleared.
Height and outcome evidence
Connects each attempted height to its measurement and adjudication.
Verified attempt result
Keep the stated height, measurement evidence, official outcome and reason for failure or dispute distinguishable.
- How was this crossbar height measured or verified, and in what units? measurement
- What outcome was recorded, and which observation or rule supports any failure or disputed decision? provenance
Progression and result
Interprets clearances, failures and passes across successive heights.
Remaining choices and standing
Use the ordered record and applicable rules to establish the jumper's current result and available next choices.
- Given the recorded attempts and passes, what next attempts or progression choices remain permitted? action
- Does the attempt history establish a placing, or is further rule-based tie resolution required? boundary
Evidence and external alignment What the world already says about this thing, gathered so the model can be checked against it.
A model that cannot be lined up against existing standards, identifiers and practice cannot be adopted by anyone who already uses them.
