premenstrual syndrome
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 premenstrual syndrome, record what state it is in, and decide what may be done with it.
A cross-cutting notion registered under XCT.STA. 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: premenstrual dysphoric disorder.
1 finer distinctions are held as aliases rather than separate entries, because telling them apart needs a task that asks for it.
Described in 53 Wikipedia languages, which is a measure of how widely the thing is known, not of how important it is.
Physical character
Made of: an abstraction with no physical instance.
Does nothing on its own; everything it does, something else did to it.
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 criteria applied to signs and findings, not by appearance. Two conditions can look identical and be distinguished only by test.

Identity, naming and classification How an agent tells one premenstrual syndrome from another, and a premenstrual syndrome 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.
Preferred name, aliases and local names
Which name to use, which names mean the same thing, and which merely sound similar.
- What identifies and describes the name of a premenstrual syndrome, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the name of a premenstrual syndrome, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the name of a premenstrual syndrome is known, and what must it refuse? action
Stable identifiers and external keys
Identifiers that keep pointing at this kind of thing across systems and languages.
- What identifies and describes an identifier for a premenstrual syndrome, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about an identifier for a premenstrual syndrome, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once an identifier for a premenstrual syndrome is known, and what must it refuse? action
Classification and granularity
Where a premenstrual syndrome sits among kinds, and how finely a task needs to cut it.
Kind, parents and neighbouring kinds
The classes this thing belongs to and the ones it is next to.
- What identifies and describes the kind of a premenstrual syndrome, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the kind of a premenstrual syndrome, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the kind of a premenstrual syndrome is known, and what must it refuse? action
Distinguishing features
What separates a premenstrual syndrome from the things most often confused with it.
- What identifies and describes what distinguishes a premenstrual syndrome, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about what distinguishes a premenstrual syndrome, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once what distinguishes a premenstrual syndrome is known, and what must it refuse? action
State and lifecycle The states a premenstrual syndrome 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.
Lifecycle stages
From coming into existence to ceasing to be one of these.
Stages and transitions
The stages worth naming and what moves a premenstrual syndrome between them.
- What identifies and describes the lifecycle of a premenstrual syndrome, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the lifecycle of a premenstrual syndrome, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the lifecycle of a premenstrual syndrome is known, and what must it refuse? action
Observations and current status
What is observed about a premenstrual syndrome, how often and by whom.
Observation record
How an observation of a premenstrual syndrome is recorded so that it can be superseded rather than overwritten.
- What identifies and describes an observation of a premenstrual syndrome, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about an observation of a premenstrual syndrome, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once an observation of a premenstrual syndrome is known, and what must it refuse? action
Diagnosis, criteria and coding What makes a case of premenstrual syndrome a case, and under which revision.
Criteria change between revisions, so a diagnosis without its coding revision cannot be compared with a later one.
Diagnostic criteria
The criteria in force and who issues them.
Criteria, issuer and revision
What must be true for a diagnosis, according to whom.
- What criteria define premenstrual syndrome, issued by which body, in which revision? definition
- What changed between revisions that would reclassify existing cases? boundary
Coding and terminology
The codes used to record it and their mapping.
Codes and mappings
Which classification codes apply and how they map.
- Which classification and terminology codes cover premenstrual syndrome, and how do they map to each other? definition
- What is lost when a case is mapped from one scheme to another? boundary
Course, population and care How premenstrual syndrome develops, whom it affects, and what is done about it.
The condition, the diagnosis and the episode of care are three different things, and an agent must not merge them.
Course and stages
Onset, progression, remission and outcome.
Stages and transitions
The stages recorded and what moves a case between them.
- What course does premenstrual syndrome typically take, and what marks each stage? definition
- What separates the condition itself from an episode of care for it? boundary
Affected populations
Who is affected, how often, and on what evidence.
Prevalence and its basis
Rates with their population, period and source.
- What prevalence or incidence is reported for premenstrual syndrome, in which population and period? measurement
- What may an agent not conclude about an individual from a population rate? action
Provenance, evidence and time Where every claim about a premenstrual syndrome 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.
Source and authority
Who said it, on what evidence, and how strongly.
Claim provenance and confidence
The authority behind each claim about a premenstrual syndrome and how confident it is.
- What identifies and describes a claim about a premenstrual syndrome, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about a claim about a premenstrual syndrome, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once a claim about a premenstrual syndrome is known, and what must it refuse? action
Time, versions and supersession
When a claim was true, when it was learnt, and what replaced it.
Validity period and supersession
How an old claim about a premenstrual syndrome is retired without being erased.
- What identifies and describes the validity of a claim about a premenstrual syndrome, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the validity of a claim about a premenstrual syndrome, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the validity of a claim about a premenstrual syndrome is known, and what must it refuse? action
