turbot
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 turbot, record what state it is in, and decide what may be done with it.
A physical thing registered under PHY.LIV. 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: turbot fillet.
1 finer distinctions are held as aliases rather than separate entries, because telling them apart needs a task that asks for it.
Described in 57 Wikipedia languages, which is a measure of how widely the thing is known, not of how important it is.
Physical character
Made of: a living thing.
Moves under its own power or of its own accord.
Acts on its own behalf.
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 diagnostic characters, and those differ by life stage - the young of many kinds are mistaken for other kinds entirely. A sighting is settled by characters, a photograph and a place, not by a name alone.

Identity, naming and classification How an agent tells one turbot from another, and a turbot 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.

- What may an agent decide or do once what distinguishes a turbot is known, and what must it refuse? action
Form, composition and condition What a turbot 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 turbot, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the dimensions of a turbot, by which method, and when was it true? provenance

The parts of a turbot and the stages it passes through.
- What identifies and describes the composition of a turbot, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the composition of a turbot, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the composition of a turbot is known, and what must it refuse? action

- Who or what asserted this about the condition of a turbot, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the condition of a turbot is known, and what must it refuse? action
Place and movement Where a turbot is, how it got there and where it may go (self-moving).
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 turbot is, and what that position is measured against.
- What identifies and describes the location of a turbot, and in what units or vocabulary? definition

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

From coming into existence to ceasing to be one of these.
Stages and transitions
The stages worth naming and what moves a turbot between them.
- What identifies and describes the lifecycle of a turbot, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the lifecycle of a turbot, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the lifecycle of a turbot is known, and what must it refuse? action

- Who or what asserted this about an observation of a turbot, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once an observation of a turbot is known, and what must it refuse? action
Taxonomic placement and identification What turbot is called scientifically, by whose authority, and how a specimen is recognised.
Names change with revisions while the organism does not, so a name without its authority and date cannot be reconciled later.
Accepted name and synonymy
The current binomial, its author and date, and the names it replaced.
Accepted name, authority and synonyms
What to record so a later revision can be applied without losing the old data.
- What is the accepted scientific name of turbot, with its author and year, and which synonyms does it absorb? definition
- Which taxonomic authority is being followed, and what would a competing authority say? provenance
Field identification
The characters that separate turbot from what it is confused with.
Diagnostic characters and confusable kinds
Features that settle an identification, and those that only suggest it.
- Which observable characters distinguish turbot from its closest look-alikes, and at which life stage are they visible? boundary
- What evidence is enough to record an identification as confirmed rather than provisional? provenance
Life stages, condition and behaviour What turbot does over its life and how its state is judged.
Stage and condition change what may be done - handled, treated, harvested, left alone - and both are observations with a time.
Stages and reproduction
Development from origin to death, including forms that look like different animals.
Life stages and their marks
The stages worth recording and what tells them apart.
- What stages does turbot pass through, and what observable change marks each transition? definition
- Which stages are so unlike the adult that they are mistaken for another kind? boundary
Health and condition
How condition is assessed and by whom.
Condition assessment
Signs of health, injury and stress, and who is competent to judge them.
- How is the condition of turbot judged, on what scale, and by whom? measurement
- What condition obliges an agent to act, and what act is permitted to whom? action
Habitat, range and conservation status Where turbot lives and how threatened it is.
Range and status govern what is lawful, and both are assessments with an assessor and a year rather than facts of nature.
Habitat and range
Native range, introductions and the habitat it needs.
Range, introductions and habitat
What to record about where it is found and how it got there.
- What is the native range of turbot, where has it been introduced, and what habitat does it require? definition
- What distinguishes a native record from an introduced or vagrant one? boundary
Protection and legal status
Conservation assessments and the rules that follow from them.
Conservation status and legal consequence
The assessment, its date, and what it forbids or requires where.
- What conservation status does turbot hold, under which assessment and year? provenance
- What does that status forbid or require of an agent, and in which jurisdiction? action
Provenance, evidence and time Where every claim about a turbot came from and when it held.
A claim without a source and a time cannot be superseded, only overwritten, and an agent that overwrites loses the ability to explain itself.

- What identifies and describes a claim about a turbot, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about a claim about a turbot, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once a claim about a turbot is known, and what must it refuse? action

How an old claim about a turbot is retired without being erased.
- What identifies and describes the validity of a claim about a turbot, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the validity of a claim about a turbot, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the validity of a claim about a turbot is known, and what must it refuse? action
