peace
Let an agent handle peace by level, kind, processes and measurement, neutrally and with sourced data.
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 handle peace by level, kind, processes and measurement, neutrally and with sourced data.
A state of harmony characterised by the absence of war, violence and hostility, and in a fuller sense by justice, security and cooperation between people, groups and states.
What it is for: A condition societies and states seek and maintain.
It can be support peace processes; measure peacefulness with indices; teach conflict resolution; monitor ceasefires.
