consent
Let an agent explain consent in its ethical, legal and administrative senses, relay principles of informed and valid consent from medical, legal and data protection sources, describe formal grants of permission, and distinguish consent from assent, compliance and authorisation.
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 consent in its ethical, legal and administrative senses, relay principles of informed and valid consent from medical, legal and data protection sources, describe formal grants of permission, and distinguish consent from assent, compliance and authorisation.
Agreement or permission given by a person or authority for something to happen, ranging from informed consent in medicine and research and consent in sexual and personal relations, through legal consent in contracts and data protection, to formal grants of permission by authorities such as cabinet approval, letters patent including those of naturalisation, land patents and historical instruments such as the Kentucky Colonel commission, and consent for purchase of indigenous land; consent must be informed, voluntary and given by someone with capacity to be valid.
What it is for: Authorising actions affecting a person or interest.
It can be explain senses; relay principles of valid consent; describe formal grants; distinguish related concepts.
