notebook
Let an agent explain notebooks as stationery and record-keeping tools, relay kinds, history and formats from stationery and archival sources, describe the logbooks and registers the registry aliases name, and distinguish notebooks from diaries as genres, from loose-leaf binders, from digital notes and from notebook computers.
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 notebooks as stationery and record-keeping tools, relay kinds, history and formats from stationery and archival sources, describe the logbooks and registers the registry aliases name, and distinguish notebooks from diaries as genres, from loose-leaf binders, from digital notes and from notebook computers.
A book of blank or ruled pages bound together for writing notes, and by extension the many kinds of bound records kept in it, such as logbooks for vessels and water inspections, accounting registers, site books on construction and survey sites, diaries including imperial court diaries, and changelogs recording revisions; the registry aliases name records kept in notebook-like form, while the portable computer called a notebook is a different sense.
What it is for: Writing and keeping notes and records.
It can be explain the object; relay kinds and history; describe record books; distinguish related senses.

What the second pass must settle
