Let an agent explain sovereignty as a political and legal concept and its forms, present debates and contested claims with attribution, describe data and Indigenous sovereignty concepts, and support study.
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.

What it is for: Supreme authority and independence.
It can be explain the concept and forms; present debates with attribution; describe data and Indigenous sovereignty; support study.
