hole
Let an agent explain the hole as a general physical category, describe kinds of holes in materials, engineering and nature, relay how holes are made and specified, and route biological and technical senses to their own entries.
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.

What it is Filled
An empty space in a solid object, an opening or cavity through or into a material, from holes drilled or cut in manufacturing and construction to natural openings such as pores, fenestrae in cell membranes, stomata in leaves and intake openings in machines; the registry entry is a broad physical category, and its merged aliases include biological pores and protein complexes that are separate topics.
Why it exists Filled
Let an agent explain the hole as a general physical category, describe kinds of holes in materials, engineering and nature, relay how holes are made and specified, and route biological and technical senses to their own entries.
Distinguishing features Filled
- Absence of material
- Through or blind
- Made or natural
- Many specialised senses
What robots and AI may and may not do Derived, awaiting review
May
- explain the category
- describe kinds and functions
- relay manufacturing and specification
- route specialised senses

Context of use required Filled
- Passage, access, ventilation, fastening or drainage through a material.
- drilled, punched and bored holes in manufacturing
- openings in buildings and machines such as vents and intakes
- natural holes such as burrows, sinkholes and caves
- biological openings such as stomata, pores and fenestrae
- holes in topology and mathematics as a separate sense

Open questions
- Should drilled hole and pore be separate primary entries?
- How should engineering standards be linked?
- The registry entry has merged aliases naming protein complexes, cell structures and a machine intake; should they be split off?
- Which entry fits the specific kind?
- Which entry fits the specific process?
- Which entry fits the specific formation?
