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 Mitsubishi A6M Zero, 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: A6M1 Zero, A6M3 Zero, A6M6 Model 53 Zero, A6M7 Model 63 Zero, Mitsubishi A6M2 Zero, A6M5 Zero, A6M8 Model 64 Zero, A6M5 Model 52 Zero, A6M5 Model 52-Ko Zero, A6M5 Model 52-Otsu Zero, A6M5 Model 52-Hei Zero.

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

Described in 55 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 form and material. The registry holds no appearance data, so what a Mitsubishi A6M Zero looks like has to come from research.

Drafted structure

Bundle to layer to finding to question, as the second pass will find it: 6 bundles · 13 layers · 15 findings · 45 questions.

Identity, naming and classification How an agent tells one Mitsubishi A6M Zero from another, and a Mitsubishi A6M Zero 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 Mitsubishi A6M Zero, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the name of a Mitsubishi A6M Zero, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once the name of a Mitsubishi A6M Zero is known, and what must it refuse? action

  1. What identifies and describes the kind of a Mitsubishi A6M Zero, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the kind of a Mitsubishi A6M Zero, by which method, and when was it true? provenance

Form, composition and condition What a Mitsubishi A6M Zero 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.

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 Mitsubishi A6M Zero, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the dimensions of a Mitsubishi A6M Zero, by which method, and when was it true? provenance

Stages and transitions

The stages worth naming and what moves a Mitsubishi A6M Zero between them.

  1. What identifies and describes the lifecycle of a Mitsubishi A6M Zero, and in what units or vocabulary? definition

  2. Who or what asserted this about handling a Mitsubishi A6M Zero, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once handling a Mitsubishi A6M Zero is known, and what must it refuse? action
Provenance, evidence and time Where every claim about a Mitsubishi A6M Zero 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.

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 Mitsubishi A6M Zero, and on what evidence are they told apart?
