galley
Enable an AI agent to recognise a galley as an onboard food-preparation space, assess its operational condition and determine which food-service activities its equipment, utilities and operating conditions support.
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
Enable an AI agent to recognise a galley as an onboard food-preparation space, assess its operational condition and determine which food-service activities its equipment, utilities and operating conditions support.
It can be Determine whether the galley supports a proposed preparation, reheating or service task.; Assign preparation and service positions while checking circulation and access conflicts.; Identify cleaning, segregation or utility-restoration work needed before food handling.; Check and secure equipment, containers and carts before a relevant change in host operating conditions.; Restrict an affected activity when equipment, hygiene or utility evidence does not support its use..
Distinguishing features
The space belongs to a vessel, aircraft or other vehicle and is designated or equipped for food preparation or meal service; a fixed-building galley kitchen is a separate candidate meaning.
Food handling occurs within the space; a pantry used solely for storage does not establish a galley by itself.
Preparation or service fittings distinguish the space from a mess or dining area used principally for eating.
A galley may support assembly or reheating without full cooking facilities, so a stove is not a required recognition test.
The referent is an onboard space or installation, rather than an entire oared vessel.
Scope
+ The galley's boundary and relationship to its host vehicle
+ Food preparation, cooking, reheating, assembly and service capabilities
+ Work surfaces, equipment locations, storage and circulation
+ Local water, drainage, power, ventilation and waste interfaces
+ Food-hygiene condition and constraints imposed by motion or operating phase
- The historical oared vessel also called a galley
- Host-vehicle navigation, propulsion and overall seaworthiness or airworthiness
- Recipes, menus and individual food inventory records
- Detailed appliance engineering and maintenance procedures
- Dining areas, passenger accommodation and crew employment records
Characteristics
- Host and location
- Host-vehicle reference and deck, compartment, cabin or module location Establishes the physical referent and the operating context inherited from its host.
- Food-service capability
- Storage, beverage preparation, assembly, reheating, cooking, washing; multiple values allowed Prevents an agent from assuming that every galley can prepare a complete meal from raw ingredients.
- Usable work-surface area
- Square metres, with measurement basis and current obstructions Helps judge whether a proposed preparation task fits the available working space.
- Working clearances
- Millimetres at identified aisles, appliance openings and service positions Reveals conflicts between people, carts, open doors and access routes.
- Utility availability
- For each required utility: available, restricted, isolated, failed or unknown Determines which installed capabilities can currently be used.
- Temperature-controlled storage condition
- Degrees Celsius by compartment, with observation time and monitoring method Supports assessment against the requirements of the food actually stored.
- Equipment and stowage restraint condition
- By fitting or item: secured, unsecured, defective, not applicable or unverified Exposes movement, spill and impact risks under host motion.
- Hygiene readiness
- Ready for specified task, cleaning required, contamination suspected, restricted or unassessed Connects observed cleanliness and separation arrangements to a particular proposed food-handling activity.
- Operating restrictions
- References to applicable host procedures, equipment instructions and operating-phase restrictions Separates physical capability from permission to operate equipment under current conditions.

Onboard identity and boundary Establishes what space is being called a galley and how it connects to the host's food-service arrangement.
The term has multiple meanings, and onboard preparation, storage and dining functions may occupy adjoining or overlapping spaces.
Referent and host
Identifies the intended sense of galley and its physical host.
Galley sense and location
Record evidence that the referent is an onboard food-service space and locate it within its host.
- Does galley here mean an onboard food-service space, a fixed-building kitchen layout or an oared vessel? definition
- Which host plan, designation or direct observation identifies this galley and its location? provenance
Functional edges
Separates galley functions from adjacent storage, dining and circulation spaces.
Included food-service zones
Record which preparation, washing, storage and handover zones belong to this galley.
- Where does this galley end and an adjacent pantry, mess, cabin aisle or service area begin? boundary
- Which shared food-service facilities lie outside its boundary but are necessary for its intended use? boundary
Meal production and service Describes which food transformations and service operations the galley can support.
A reheating and beverage installation presents different possibilities from a galley equipped for raw-food preparation and cooking.
Preparation capabilities
Connects proposed food-handling tasks to usable equipment and preparation surfaces.
Supported food operations
Record demonstrated preparation capabilities and the dependencies that limit them.
- Which operations can this galley support: beverage preparation, assembly, reheating, cooking or washing? definition
- Which usable appliance, work surface and utility connections support each proposed operation? action
Service flow and capacity
Describes movement from storage through preparation to handover and the return of used items.
Meal-flow bottlenecks
Record task-specific service capacity and conflicts between preparation, dispatch and returns.
- For a specified menu and staffing level, how many portions can be prepared or reheated and handed over within the required service period? measurement
- Where do outgoing meals, returning utensils or service carts compete for the same surfaces or passage? boundary
Food hygiene and storage Captures the galley's ability to keep food, utensils and preparation activities in suitable conditions.
Equipment presence alone cannot establish readiness when storage conditions, contamination routes or washing arrangements are unresolved.
Storage conditions
Assesses storage suitability for the food and service materials assigned to the galley.
Food-storage suitability
Record storage environments and their suitability for identified contents.
- What temperatures have been observed in each relevant storage compartment, when and by what method? measurement
- Which foods or materials require relocation or restricted use under their applicable storage requirements? action
Clean and contaminated flows
Examines preparation separation, washing and waste handling within constrained onboard space.
Contamination-control readiness
Record how the galley separates incompatible handling activities and restores surfaces and utensils for use.
- How are ready-to-eat food, raw ingredients, allergens, dirty utensils and waste separated in space or time? boundary
- What cleaning, handwashing or utensil-washing provisions must be available before the proposed task can begin? action
Host-dependent operation Connects galley use to host utilities, motion, operating phase and local incident controls.
An onboard galley's usable state depends on conditions beyond its room boundary, including utility isolation and motion-related restrictions.
Utilities and local controls
Identifies the supplies, extraction and isolation arrangements needed for installed galley functions.
Operational dependencies
Record utility dependencies and the consequences of unavailable supplies or local protective systems.
- Which installed functions depend on electricity, fuel, potable water, drainage or extraction, and what is each dependency's current state? measurement
- Which activities must be suspended, and which isolation or incident procedure applies, when a required dependency fails? action
Motion, restraint and access
Assesses securing arrangements, working clearances and restrictions arising from host movement.
Readiness for host conditions
Record whether people can work and move safely and whether galley contents are secured for the applicable operating conditions.
- Which appliances, hot-liquid containers, drawers and carts require restraint, and what evidence establishes their present securing condition? provenance
- Under the current host operating phase or motion conditions, which preparation and service activities are permitted by the applicable procedures? action
- Do open appliance doors, deployed carts or occupied work positions obstruct required access or escape routes? boundary
What the second pass must settle
- Does vr.tr.galley denote an onboard kitchen, a fixed-building galley kitchen layout or a historical oared vessel? The registry has no definition, so the adopted sense remains provisional.
- Does an existing Vercy world model already own this concept, requiring a registry link instead of a separate model?
- Which host types belong within this entry, and which differences require conditional layers rather than separate models?
- Which authoritative host procedures and equipment instructions establish operating restrictions, restraint requirements and utility dependencies?
- Which food-service requirements apply to a particular installation, including storage conditions, washing provisions and separation practices?
