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

Thing Registry Activities and processes ACT.PRC

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.

6 bundles · 12 layers · 14 findings · 38 questions

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

Classification and granularity

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

Distinguishing features

What separates a Canavan disease from the things most often confused with it.

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

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

Observations and current status

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

Observation record

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

  1. What identifies and describes an observation of a Canavan disease, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about an observation of a Canavan disease, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once an observation of a Canavan disease is known, and what must it refuse? action
Process, inputs and outcome How a Canavan disease proceeds, what it needs and what it leaves behind.

An activity is known by its steps and its results, and both have to be recordable while it is still running.

Steps and sequence

The steps of a Canavan disease, their order and what may run in parallel.

Steps, preconditions and completion

What has to be true before each step of a Canavan disease and what marks it done.

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

Inputs, resources and results

What a Canavan disease consumes and what it produces.

Inputs, outputs and side effects

The resources a Canavan disease takes and the results it leaves, wanted or not.

  1. What identifies and describes the inputs and results of a Canavan disease, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the inputs and results of a Canavan disease, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once the inputs and results of a Canavan disease is known, and what must it refuse? action
Diagnosis, criteria and coding What makes a case of Canavan disease 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 Canavan disease, 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 Canavan disease, 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 Canavan disease 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 Canavan disease 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 Canavan disease, 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 Canavan disease 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 Canavan disease and how confident it is.

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

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

What it is Derived, awaiting review

An activity registered under ACT.PRC. 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 Canavan disease, 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: severe Canavan disease, mild Canavan disease.
  • 2 finer distinctions are held as aliases rather than separate entries, because telling them apart needs a task that asks for it.
  • Described in 26 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

Direct properties not applicable Not applicable

  • Made of: something that happens over time
  • 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.

Recognition optional Derived, awaiting review

  • Recognised by criteria applied to signs and findings, not by appearance. Two conditions can look identical and be distinguished only by test.

Capabilities and actions required Derived, awaiting review

  • observed and measured

Hazards and failure modes required Missing, in the backlog

Not described yet. This gap is in the card backlog.

Standards and interfaces required Missing, in the backlog

Not described yet. This gap is in the card backlog.

Context of use required Derived, awaiting review

  • Described in 26 Wikipedia languages, which measures how widely it is written about rather than how important or how common it is. 2 finer distinctions are held inside this entry as names rather than as separate models.
