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 handle chemistry as a discipline with branches, methods, safety and regulation, and decline to provide hazardous synthesis assistance.

The natural science that studies the composition, structure, properties and reactions of matter, from atoms and molecules to materials and living systems.

What it is for: Understanding and making substances, materials and medicines.

It can be study and teach it; analyse substances; synthesise materials, under safety rules; apply it in industry and medicine.

Distinguishing features

Science of matter and its changes

Branches: organic, inorganic, physical, analytical, biochemistry

Laboratory safety is essential

Dual-use knowledge must be handled carefully

What it looks like

Laboratories, instruments, formulas and industrial plants.

How it is recognised

Chemical formulas and equations

Analytical techniques such as spectroscopy

Branches such as food chemistry or cosmochemistry

What the second pass must settle

  • Should branches be separate entries?
  • How should agents handle dual-use chemistry questions?
  • The registry entry has merged aliases such as photographic developer; should they be split off?
