Give an agent a durable, checkable way to recognise a soul food, record what state it is in, and decide what may be done with it.
Generated draft, first pass
This model was drafted by rule from what the registry knows about the thing. It proposes which bundles a real model will need and which questions research must answer. It is not researched and no sentence in it is sourced.

Identity, naming and classification How an agent tells one soul food from another, and a soul food 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 soul food, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the name of a soul food, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the name of a soul food 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 identifies and describes an identifier for a soul food, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about an identifier for a soul food, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once an identifier for a soul food is known, and what must it refuse? action
Classification and granularity
Where a soul food 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 soul food, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the kind of a soul food, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the kind of a soul food is known, and what must it refuse? action
Distinguishing features
What separates a soul food from the things most often confused with it.
- What identifies and describes what distinguishes a soul food, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about what distinguishes a soul food, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once what distinguishes a soul food is known, and what must it refuse? action
State and lifecycle The states a soul food passes through and the events that move it between them.
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.
Lifecycle stages
From coming into existence to ceasing to be one of these.
Stages and transitions
The stages worth naming and what moves a soul food between them.
- What identifies and describes the lifecycle of a soul food, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the lifecycle of a soul food, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the lifecycle of a soul food is known, and what must it refuse? action
Observations and current status
What is observed about a soul food, how often and by whom.
Observation record
How an observation of a soul food is recorded so that it can be superseded rather than overwritten.
- What identifies and describes an observation of a soul food, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about an observation of a soul food, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once an observation of a soul food is known, and what must it refuse? action
Process, inputs and outcome How a soul food proceeds, what it needs and what it leaves behind.
An activity is known by its steps and its results, and both have to be recordable while it is still running.
Steps and sequence
The steps of a soul food, their order and what may run in parallel.
Steps, preconditions and completion
What has to be true before each step of a soul food and what marks it done.
- What identifies and describes a step of a soul food, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about a step of a soul food, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once a step of a soul food is known, and what must it refuse? action
Inputs, resources and results
What a soul food consumes and what it produces.
Inputs, outputs and side effects
The resources a soul food takes and the results it leaves, wanted or not.
- What identifies and describes the inputs and results of a soul food, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the inputs and results of a soul food, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the inputs and results of a soul food is known, and what must it refuse? action
Composition, preparation and storage What soul food consists of, in what state, and how long it keeps.
The ingredient, the prepared dish and the packaged product are different things with different facts attached.
Composition and nutrition
Ingredients and nutrient content per stated quantity.
Composition per stated quantity
What is in it, measured against what amount.
- What is the composition of soul food, per what stated quantity, and from which data source? measurement
- How does preparation change that composition? boundary
Allergens, storage and shelf life
What must be declared and how it is kept.
Allergens and keeping
Declarable allergens, storage conditions and shelf life.
- Which allergens must be declared for soul food, and under which regime? definition
- What storage does it require, and what must an agent refuse to serve or sell? action
Provenance, evidence and time Where every claim about a soul food 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 soul food and how confident it is.
- What identifies and describes a claim about a soul food, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about a claim about a soul food, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once a claim about a soul food 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 soul food is retired without being erased.
- What identifies and describes the validity of a claim about a soul food, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the validity of a claim about a soul food, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the validity of a claim about a soul food is known, and what must it refuse? action

What it is Derived, awaiting review
An activity registered under ACT.ACT. 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 soul food, record what state it is in, and decide what may be done with it.
Distinguishing features Derived, awaiting review
- Names folded into this entry, which a task may need to split apart again: African-American Muslim cuisine.
- 1 finer distinctions are held as aliases rather than separate entries, because telling them apart needs a task that asks for it.
- Described in 26 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

Direct properties not applicable Not applicable
- Made of: something that happens over time
- 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 optional Derived, awaiting review
- Recognised by appearance, smell and texture in the prepared state, and by label in the packaged one. Appearance shifts entirely with preparation.
Capabilities and actions required Derived, awaiting review

Context of use required Derived, awaiting review
