Give an agent a durable, checkable way to recognise a VAG Class DT3, record what state it is in, and decide what may be done with it.

Thing Registry Physical world and living systems PHY.OBJ

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.

Identity, naming and classification How an agent tells one VAG Class DT3 from another, and a VAG Class DT3 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 VAG Class DT3, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the name of a VAG Class DT3, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once the name of a VAG Class DT3 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 VAG Class DT3, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about an identifier for a VAG Class DT3, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once an identifier for a VAG Class DT3 is known, and what must it refuse? action

Classification and granularity

Where a VAG Class DT3 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 VAG Class DT3, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the kind of a VAG Class DT3, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once the kind of a VAG Class DT3 is known, and what must it refuse? action

Distinguishing features

What separates a VAG Class DT3 from the things most often confused with it.

  1. What identifies and describes what distinguishes a VAG Class DT3, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about what distinguishes a VAG Class DT3, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once what distinguishes a VAG Class DT3 is known, and what must it refuse? action
Form, composition and condition What a VAG Class DT3 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 VAG Class DT3, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the dimensions of a VAG Class DT3, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once the dimensions of a VAG Class DT3 is known, and what must it refuse? action

Material and composition

Materials, parts and how they are put together.

Parts and materials

What a VAG Class DT3 is built from and which parts are replaceable.

  1. What identifies and describes the composition of a VAG Class DT3, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the composition of a VAG Class DT3, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once the composition of a VAG Class DT3 is known, and what must it refuse? action

Condition and integrity

Wear, damage, health and the difference between working and broken.

How the condition of a VAG Class DT3 is judged and by whom.

  1. What identifies and describes the condition of a VAG Class DT3, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the condition of a VAG Class DT3, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once the condition of a VAG Class DT3 is known, and what must it refuse? action
Place and movement Where a VAG Class DT3 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 VAG Class DT3 is, and what that position is measured against.

  1. What identifies and describes the location of a VAG Class DT3, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the location of a VAG Class DT3, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once the location of a VAG Class DT3 is known, and what must it refuse? action

Movement and transfer

How a VAG Class DT3 is carried, installed or relocated.

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 VAG Class DT3, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the movement of a VAG Class DT3, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once the movement of a VAG Class DT3 is known, and what must it refuse? action
State and lifecycle The states a VAG Class DT3 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 VAG Class DT3 between them.

  1. What identifies and describes the lifecycle of a VAG Class DT3, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the lifecycle of a VAG Class DT3, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once the lifecycle of a VAG Class DT3 is known, and what must it refuse? action

Observations and current status

What is observed about a VAG Class DT3, how often and by whom.

Observation record

How an observation of a VAG Class DT3 is recorded so that it can be superseded rather than overwritten.

  1. What identifies and describes an observation of a VAG Class DT3, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about an observation of a VAG Class DT3, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once an observation of a VAG Class DT3 is known, and what must it refuse? action
Use and operation What can be done with a VAG Class DT3 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 VAG Class DT3 is for, and what it is used for anyway.

Function, purpose and misuse

The function a VAG Class DT3 performs and the uses that fall outside it.

  1. What identifies and describes the use of a VAG Class DT3, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the use of a VAG Class DT3, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once the use of a VAG Class DT3 is known, and what must it refuse? action

The steps, skills and tools involved in using a VAG Class DT3.

Procedures, skills and required tools

What an agent needs before it can act on a VAG Class DT3 at all.

  1. What identifies and describes handling a VAG Class DT3, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about handling a VAG Class DT3, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once handling a VAG Class DT3 is known, and what must it refuse? action
Provenance, evidence and time Where every claim about a VAG Class DT3 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 VAG Class DT3 and how confident it is.

  1. What identifies and describes a claim about a VAG Class DT3, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about a claim about a VAG Class DT3, by which method, and when was it true? provenance

  1. What identifies and describes the validity of a claim about a VAG Class DT3, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the validity of a claim about a VAG Class DT3, by which method, and when was it true? provenance

Why it exists Derived, awaiting review

Give an agent a durable, checkable way to recognise a VAG Class DT3, record what state it is in, and decide what may be done with it.

Distinguishing features Derived, awaiting review

  • Described in 3 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 required Derived, awaiting review

  • 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.

Recognition required Derived, awaiting review

  • Recognised by form and material. The registry holds no appearance data, so what a VAG Class DT3 looks like has to come from research.

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 3 Wikipedia languages, which measures how widely it is written about rather than how important or how common it is.

Sources Missing, in the backlog

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