ARM architecture
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.
Written from the archetype playbook - what this kind of thing needs beyond identity and provenance - and from the structure that recurred across 6,333 models already researched by two engines. Applied to this entry by rule. No source was read for this thing and no claim here is researched. This entry carries no facets of its own, so they were inferred from its domain - a guess about a whole domain applied to one thing.
Generator: vr.draft.v3
Purpose and description
Give an agent a durable, checkable way to recognise a ARM architecture, record what state it is in, and decide what may be done with it.
A physical thing registered under PHY.OBJ. The registry names it; this draft has not been given a definition yet.
It can be observed and measured.
Distinguishing features
Names folded into this entry, which a task may need to split apart again: Apple M series, A64, Marvell ARMada 38x, ARM7, ARM7TDMI.
5 finer distinctions are held as aliases rather than separate entries, because telling them apart needs a task that asks for it.
Described in 46 Wikipedia languages, which is a measure of how widely the thing is known, not of how important it is.
Physical character
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.
How it is recognised
Recognised by form and material. The registry holds no appearance data, so what a ARM architecture looks like has to come from research.

Described in 46 Wikipedia languages, which measures how widely it is written about rather than how important or how common it is. 5 finer distinctions are held inside this entry as names rather than as separate models.

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

Identifiers that keep pointing at this kind of thing across systems and languages.

Classification and granularity
Where a ARM architecture sits among kinds, and how finely a task needs to cut it.
Kind, parents and neighbouring kinds
The classes this thing belongs to and the ones it is next to.

- Who or what asserted this about the kind of a ARM architecture, by which method, and when was it true? provenance

- Who or what asserted this about what distinguishes a ARM architecture, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once what distinguishes a ARM architecture is known, and what must it refuse? action
Form, composition and condition What a ARM architecture 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 ARM architecture, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the dimensions of a ARM architecture, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the dimensions of a ARM architecture is known, and what must it refuse? action
Material and composition
Materials, parts and how they are put together.
Parts and materials
What a ARM architecture is built from and which parts are replaceable.
- What identifies and describes the composition of a ARM architecture, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the composition of a ARM architecture, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the composition of a ARM architecture is known, and what must it refuse? action
Condition and integrity
Wear, damage, health and the difference between working and broken.
Condition, damage and health
How the condition of a ARM architecture is judged and by whom.
- What identifies and describes the condition of a ARM architecture, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the condition of a ARM architecture, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the condition of a ARM architecture is known, and what must it refuse? action
Place and movement Where a ARM architecture 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 ARM architecture is, and what that position is measured against.
- What identifies and describes the location of a ARM architecture, and in what units or vocabulary? definition

- Who or what asserted this about the movement of a ARM architecture, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the movement of a ARM architecture is known, and what must it refuse? action
State and lifecycle The states a ARM architecture 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.

An agent that can recognise a thing but not act on it has only half a model.
