asthma
Let an agent explain asthma at a general, factual level from medical sources, relay its triggers, forms and general management, describe the forms its aliases name, and route personal care and severe attacks to appropriate medical help.
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 asthma at a general, factual level from medical sources, relay its triggers, forms and general management, describe the forms its aliases name, and route personal care and severe attacks to appropriate medical help.
A common long-term condition in which the airways of the lungs become inflamed and narrow, causing recurring episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness and coughing, often triggered by allergens, exercise, cold air or irritants; the registry aliases name forms such as acute and chronic asthma and irritant-induced asthma. Asthma is managed with avoidance of triggers and medicines, and a severe attack is a medical emergency. This entry gives general, factual information, and any personal situation should be directed to a qualified clinician.
What it is for: Not applicable; a chronic respiratory condition.
It can be explain the condition generally; relay triggers and forms; note general management; route personal care to a clinician.
Distinguishing features
Airway inflammation
Episodic symptoms
Trigger-related
Manageable but chronic
What it looks like
Not a visible object; recognised by breathing symptoms such as wheeze and breathlessness.
Physical character
affects: the airways note
nature: chronic, with episodes note
registry parent: bronchospasm note
How it is recognised
Chronic condition of inflamed, narrowed airways
Acute, chronic and irritant-induced asthma
It affects the airways specifically, unlike many other lung conditions
