Let an agent explain the body, relay the anatomical whole, the living-versus-dead senses and cultural and legal treatment from anatomy and general sources, describe the named senses and flag misfiled and instance aliases, and distinguish the physical body from the mind, an organism generally, a corpse and non-anatomical senses of body.

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 body, relay the anatomical whole, the living-versus-dead senses and cultural and legal treatment from anatomy and general sources, describe the named senses and flag misfiled and instance aliases, and distinguish the physical body from the mind, an organism generally, a corpse and non-anatomical senses of body.

The body is the physical structure of a person or animal, the whole material organism including its systems, organs, tissues and cells, as distinct from the mind or soul in many traditions; the registry aliases name related and overlapping senses such as an organism in biology, the body as remains or a carcass after death, the errant, a term for a free-moving polychaete worm that appears misfiled, and specific bodies such as a female or brown rat body. The word body has many further senses, including a body of water, a governing body and the body of a text, which are distinct. The living body is studied by anatomy and physiology, and treatment of the dead body is governed by law and custom.

What it is for: The physical structure of a person or animal.

It can be explain the anatomical whole; relay living and dead senses; describe named senses and flag misfiled ones; distinguish other senses.

How it is recognised

Physical structure of a person or animal

Organism, errant, body remains, carcass, brown rat body, female body

The mind is non-physical; an organism is a living thing generally; a corpse is a dead body; body also means a body of water, a governing body and a text body

What the second pass must settle

  • The registry alias errant should be moved to polychaete entries
  • Should the dead-body sense be a separate entry?
  • How should non-anatomical senses be disambiguated?
