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 stenosis, record what state it is in, and decide what may be done with it.

A physical thing registered under PHY.OBJ. 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: tracheostenosis, choanal atresia, tracheal stenosis, choanal atresia, unilateral, choanal atresia, bilateral, idiopathic tracheal stenosis, Congenital tracheal stenosis, Subglottic stenosis, gynatresia, congenital subglottic stenosis, imperforate hymen, heart valve stenosis.

23 finer distinctions are held as aliases rather than separate entries, because telling them apart needs a task that asks for it.

Described in 35 Wikipedia languages, which is a measure of how widely the thing is known, not of how important it is.

Physical character

Made of: matter you can touch.

Mobility varies between examples.

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.

Drafted structure

Bundle to layer to finding to question, as the second pass will find it: 8 bundles · 17 layers · 19 findings · 53 questions.

Identity, naming and classification How an agent tells one stenosis from another, and a stenosis 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 stenosis, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the name of a stenosis, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once the name of a stenosis 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.

  2. Who or what asserted this about an identifier for a stenosis, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once an identifier for a stenosis is known, and what must it refuse? action

Classification and granularity

Where a stenosis 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 stenosis, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the kind of a stenosis, by which method, and when was it true? provenance

  3. What may an agent decide or do once what distinguishes a stenosis is known, and what must it refuse? action
Form, composition and condition What a stenosis 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.

  1. What identifies and describes the dimensions of a stenosis, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the dimensions of a stenosis, by which method, and when was it true? provenance

How the condition of a stenosis is judged and by whom.

  1. What identifies and describes the condition of a stenosis, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the condition of a stenosis, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once the condition of a stenosis is known, and what must it refuse? action
Place and movement Where a stenosis is, how it got there and where it may go (varies).

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 stenosis is, and what that position is measured against.

  1. What identifies and describes the location of a stenosis, and in what units or vocabulary? definition

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

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

Observations and current status

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

Observation record

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

  1. What identifies and describes an observation of a stenosis, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about an observation of a stenosis, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once an observation of a stenosis is known, and what must it refuse? action
Use and operation What can be done with a stenosis and what it takes to do it.

An agent that can recognise a thing but not act on it has only half a model.

Intended use and function

What a stenosis is for, and what it is used for anyway.

Function, purpose and misuse

The function a stenosis performs and the uses that fall outside it.

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

  2. Who or what asserted this about handling a stenosis, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once handling a stenosis is known, and what must it refuse? action
Diagnosis, criteria and coding What makes a case of stenosis 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.

  1. What criteria define stenosis, issued by which body, in which revision? definition
  2. 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.

  1. Which classification and terminology codes cover stenosis, and how do they map to each other? definition
  2. What is lost when a case is mapped from one scheme to another? boundary
Course, population and care How stenosis 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.

  1. What course does stenosis typically take, and what marks each stage? definition
  2. 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.

  1. What prevalence or incidence is reported for stenosis, in which population and period? measurement
  2. What may an agent not conclude about an individual from a population rate? action
Provenance, evidence and time Where every claim about a stenosis 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.

How an old claim about a stenosis is retired without being erased.

  1. What identifies and describes the validity of a claim about a stenosis, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the validity of a claim about a stenosis, 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 stenosis is known, and what must it refuse? action

What the second pass must settle

  • Which of the bundles below does a real task actually need, and which are ceremony?
  • What does this thing have that the facets do not capture at all?
  • Which neighbouring kind is most often confused with a stenosis, and on what evidence are they told apart?
