industrialisation
Let an agent explain industrialisation as a historical and economic process, relay major cases and debates with attribution, describe its effects, and distinguish the process from the Industrial Revolution and from industrialised construction.
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 industrialisation as a historical and economic process, relay major cases and debates with attribution, describe its effects, and distinguish the process from the Industrial Revolution and from industrialised construction.
The process of social and economic transformation from an agrarian economy to one based on manufacturing and mechanised production, involving factories, wage labour, urbanisation, technological change and new institutions, beginning with the British Industrial Revolution and spreading in waves across Europe, North America, Japan, the Soviet Union and East Asia, with debates over state-led and market-led paths and over late industrialisation; the term also names industrialised construction using prefabricated components.
What it is for: Not applicable; a process of change.
It can be explain the process; relay cases and debates; describe effects; distinguish related senses.
Distinguishing features
Factory production
Urbanisation
Structural change
Contested paths
What it looks like
Not a visible object; factories, cities and infrastructure as its signs.
Physical character
British Industrial Revolution: about 1760-1840 years - conventional dating
How it is recognised
Shift to mechanised manufacturing economy
Waves of industrialisation, state-led and market-led paths, industrialised construction
The Industrial Revolution is the first case; deindustrialisation is the reverse; modernisation is broader
