Identity, naming and classification How an agent tells one pivalic acid from another, and a pivalic acid 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.
- What identifies and describes the name of a pivalic acid, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the name of a pivalic acid, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the name of a pivalic acid 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.

- What may an agent decide or do once an identifier for a pivalic acid is known, and what must it refuse? action
Classification and granularity
Where a pivalic acid 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.
- What identifies and describes the kind of a pivalic acid, and in what units or vocabulary? definition

- What may an agent decide or do once what distinguishes a pivalic acid is known, and what must it refuse? action
Form, composition and condition What a pivalic acid 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.

The quantities worth recording and the units they are recorded in.
- What identifies and describes the dimensions of a pivalic acid, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the dimensions of a pivalic acid, by which method, and when was it true? provenance

- What may an agent decide or do once the condition of a pivalic acid is known, and what must it refuse? action
Place and movement Where a pivalic acid 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.

- What may an agent decide or do once the movement of a pivalic acid is known, and what must it refuse? action

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.

The stages worth naming and what moves a pivalic acid between them.
- What identifies and describes the lifecycle of a pivalic acid, and in what units or vocabulary? definition

- Who or what asserted this about an observation of a pivalic acid, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once an observation of a pivalic acid is known, and what must it refuse? action
Use and operation What can be done with a pivalic acid and what it takes to do it.
An agent that can recognise a thing but not act on it has only half a model.

What a pivalic acid is for, and what it is used for anyway.
Function, purpose and misuse
The function a pivalic acid performs and the uses that fall outside it.
- What identifies and describes the use of a pivalic acid, and in what units or vocabulary? definition

- What identifies and describes handling a pivalic acid, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about handling a pivalic acid, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once handling a pivalic acid is known, and what must it refuse? action

- What may an agent decide or do once the supply of a pivalic acid is known, and what must it refuse? action
Composition, grade and chemical identity What pivalic acid is made of and how pure the thing in hand is.
Grade decides what a substance may be used for, so a model that records only the name cannot support any decision about use.
Chemical identity
Formula, structure and the registry numbers that name it unambiguously.
Identity and registry numbers
What identifies this substance across suppliers and regulators.
- What formula, structure and registry identifiers name pivalic acid unambiguously? definition
- Which related substances share a name in common use but not an identifier? boundary
Grade, purity and impurities
The specification a batch meets and what else is in it.
Specification and assay
How purity is stated and measured, and which impurities matter.
- What grades of pivalic acid exist, how is purity assayed, and which impurities are limited? measurement
- Which use requires which grade, and what happens when a lower grade is substituted? action
Properties and behaviour How pivalic acid behaves under conditions an agent can measure or change.
Physical constants are the part of a substance model that transfers between contexts, and each needs its unit and its conditions.
Physical constants
Values that hold for the pure substance, with their conditions.
Constants and conditions
The quantities worth recording and the state they apply in.
- What are the defining physical constants of pivalic acid, in what units and under what conditions? measurement
- Which of these values change with grade or form rather than being fixed? boundary
Stability and reactivity
What it reacts with, degrades into, and how it is stored.
Incompatibilities and degradation
What must not meet it, and what it becomes over time.
- What is pivalic acid incompatible with, and what does it degrade into under storage? definition
- What storage and handling does that require, and who is competent to do it? action
Hazard classification and regulation How pivalic acid can harm, and what the law says about holding and moving it.
A substance model without its hazard class and its regulatory identity is unusable in exactly the situations that matter.
Hazard classification
Classified hazards, exposure limits and protective measures.
Classified hazards and limits
The classification, the scheme it belongs to, and the limits set.
- How is pivalic acid classified for hazard, under which scheme, and what exposure limits apply? definition
- What protection does handling require, and what must an agent refuse to do without it? action
Regulatory identity and control
Registration, restriction and transport rules by jurisdiction.
Controls and jurisdiction
Where it is restricted and what the restriction attaches to.
- Which registrations, restrictions or transport rules cover pivalic acid, and where? provenance
- Does the control attach to the substance, its concentration, or its intended use? boundary
Provenance, evidence and time Where every claim about a pivalic acid 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 pivalic acid and how confident it is.
- What identifies and describes a claim about a pivalic acid, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about a claim about a pivalic acid, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once a claim about a pivalic acid is known, and what must it refuse? action
Time, versions and supersession
When a claim was true, when it was learnt, and what replaced it.
Validity period and supersession
How an old claim about a pivalic acid is retired without being erased.
- What identifies and describes the validity of a claim about a pivalic acid, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the validity of a claim about a pivalic acid, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the validity of a claim about a pivalic acid is known, and what must it refuse? action

Distinguishing features Derived, awaiting review
