social integration
Let an agent explain social integration as a concept and process, relay sociological theory and research with attribution, describe policies and historical cases neutrally, and distinguish integration from assimilation, inclusion and desegregation.
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 social integration as a concept and process, relay sociological theory and research with attribution, describe policies and historical cases neutrally, and distinguish integration from assimilation, inclusion and desegregation.
The process by which individuals and groups become incorporated into the social structure and relationships of a society, through shared institutions, norms and participation, studied in sociology from Durkheim onward and applied to migrants, minorities and groups facing exclusion, with related concepts such as group cohesiveness, integration through sport, school integration and the desegregation of schools in the United States, and historical ideologies such as Ottomanism that sought to integrate diverse populations.
What it is for: Incorporating people into society.
It can be explain the concept and theory; relay research and policy; describe historical cases; distinguish from related concepts.
Distinguishing features
Multidimensional process
Structural and social dimensions
Policy target

What it looks like
Not a visible object; a social process.
How it is recognised
Incorporation into social structure and relationships
Migrant integration, school integration, group cohesion, integration through sport
Assimilation implies loss of distinct identity; inclusion focuses on access; desegregation ends legal separation
