Bundle → Layer → Finding → Questions Derived, awaiting review

6 bundles · 12 layers · 14 findings · 40 questions

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

  1. What identifies and describes the name of a Guards unit, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the name of a Guards unit, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once the name of a Guards unit 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.

  1. What identifies and describes an identifier for a Guards unit, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about an identifier for a Guards unit, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once an identifier for a Guards unit is known, and what must it refuse? action

Classification and granularity

Where a Guards unit 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.

  1. What identifies and describes the kind of a Guards unit, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the kind of a Guards unit, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once the kind of a Guards unit is known, and what must it refuse? action

Distinguishing features

What separates a Guards unit from the things most often confused with it.

  1. What identifies and describes what distinguishes a Guards unit, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about what distinguishes a Guards unit, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once what distinguishes a Guards unit is known, and what must it refuse? action
Place and movement Where a Guards unit 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 Guards unit is, and what that position is measured against.

  1. What identifies and describes the location of a Guards unit, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the location of a Guards unit, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once the location of a Guards unit is known, and what must it refuse? action

Movement and transfer

How a Guards unit moves on its own.

Movement events and constraints

What counts as a movement, what records it and what limits it.

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

  1. What identifies and describes the lifecycle of a Guards unit, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the lifecycle of a Guards unit, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once the lifecycle of a Guards unit is known, and what must it refuse? action

Observations and current status

What is observed about a Guards unit, how often and by whom.

Observation record

How an observation of a Guards unit is recorded so that it can be superseded rather than overwritten.

  1. What identifies and describes an observation of a Guards unit, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about an observation of a Guards unit, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once an observation of a Guards unit is known, and what must it refuse? action
People, roles and responsibility Who stands in what relation to a Guards unit.

Social things are defined by the relations people hold to them, and those relations change without the thing changing.

Roles and parties

The roles that exist around a Guards unit and who fills them.

Role assignments and their validity

Who holds which role over a Guards unit, from when, and on whose authority.

  1. What identifies and describes a role over a Guards unit, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about a role over a Guards unit, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once a role over a Guards unit is known, and what must it refuse? action

Ownership and accountability

Who answers for a Guards unit and who may decide about it.

Accountability and decision rights

Where responsibility for a Guards unit sits when something goes wrong.

  1. What identifies and describes responsibility for a Guards unit, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about responsibility for a Guards unit, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once responsibility for a Guards unit is known, and what must it refuse? action
Definition, dimension and realisation What Guards unit is defined as and how it is realised in practice.

A unit is not the quantity it measures, and its definition has a history that older data still depends on.

Definition and dimension

The defining relation and the quantity it measures.

Definition, body and date

What defines it now, and what defined it before.

  1. How is Guards unit defined, by which body, and since when? definition
  2. What was the previous definition, and what data still depends on it? provenance

Conversion and compatibility

Relations to other units, exact or approximate.

Conversions and their exactness

Factors, and whether each is exact by definition.

  1. What conversions relate Guards unit to other units, and which are exact by definition? measurement
  2. Where does rounding a conversion change a decision, and how should that be recorded? action
Provenance, evidence and time Where every claim about a Guards unit 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 Guards unit and how confident it is.

  1. What identifies and describes a claim about a Guards unit, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about a claim about a Guards unit, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once a claim about a Guards unit 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 Guards unit is retired without being erased.

  1. What identifies and describes the validity of a claim about a Guards unit, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the validity of a claim about a Guards unit, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once the validity of a claim about a Guards unit is known, and what must it refuse? action

What it is Derived, awaiting review

A social thing registered under SOC.PER. The registry names it; this draft has not been given a definition yet.

Why it exists Derived, awaiting review

Give an agent a durable, checkable way to recognise a Guards unit, record what state it is in, and decide what may be done with it.

Distinguishing features Derived, awaiting review

  • Names folded into this entry, which a task may need to split apart again: 55th Guards Tank Brigade, 54th Guards Tank Brigade, 73rd Guards Fighter Aviation Regiment, 1st Guards Tank Brigade, 110th Guards Rifle Division, 44th Guards Tank Brigade, Guards tank unit.
  • 7 finer distinctions are held as aliases rather than separate entries, because telling them apart needs a task that asks for it.
  • Described in 20 Wikipedia languages, which is a measure of how widely the thing is known, not of how important it is.

What robots and AI may and may not do Derived, awaiting review

May

  • observe it, measure it, record its state
