8 bundles · 17 layers · 19 findings · 53 questions

  3. What may an agent decide or do once handling a General Motors Proving Grounds is known, and what must it refuse? action
Structure, materials and capacity How General Motors Proving Grounds is built and how much it can take.

Capacity and structural type govern what may lawfully happen inside or on it, and both are attested rather than obvious.

  2. What must an agent refuse to permit beyond that rating? action
Ownership, permitting and condition Who holds General Motors Proving Grounds, what it is permitted for, and what state it is in.

A structure is not the organisation that uses it, and its permission to exist is separate from its condition.

Ownership and permission

Title, occupier and permits

Who owns, who occupies, and what is permitted.

  1. Who owns and who occupies General Motors Proving Grounds, and which permits or consents are in force? definition

  2. What finding takes it out of service, and who may authorise its return? action
Provenance, evidence and time Where every claim about a General Motors Proving Grounds 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A claim without a source and a time cannot be superseded, only overwritten, and an agent that overwrites loses the ability to explain itself.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.

A physical thing registered under PHY.BLT. The registry names it; this draft has not been given a definition yet.

Why it exists Derived, awaiting review

Give an agent a durable, checkable way to recognise a General Motors Proving Grounds, record what state it is in, and decide what may be done with it.

Distinguishing features Derived, awaiting review

  • Described in 2 Wikipedia languages, which is a measure of how widely the thing is known, not of how important it is.

What robots and AI may and may not do Derived, awaiting review

May

  • observe it, measure it, record its state
  • enter it, cross it, travel along it

Direct properties required Derived, awaiting review

  • Made of: matter you can touch
  • On the scale of a building: sited rather than moved.
  • Stays where it was put; moving it is a project.
  • 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.

Recognition required Derived, awaiting review

  • Recognised by form, materials and siting, and confirmed by address or by a register entry rather than by looking.

Capabilities and actions required Derived, awaiting review

  • observed and measured
  • entered, crossed or travelled along

Not described yet. This gap is in the card backlog.

Standards and interfaces required Missing, in the backlog

Context of use required Derived, awaiting review

  • Described in 2 Wikipedia languages, which measures how widely it is written about rather than how important or how common it is.
