Identity, naming and classification How an agent tells one Jammed Digits from another, and a Jammed Digits 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 Jammed Digits, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the name of a Jammed Digits, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the name of a Jammed Digits 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 Jammed Digits, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about an identifier for a Jammed Digits, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once an identifier for a Jammed Digits is known, and what must it refuse? action
Classification and granularity
Where a Jammed Digits 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 Jammed Digits, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the kind of a Jammed Digits, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the kind of a Jammed Digits is known, and what must it refuse? action
Distinguishing features
What separates a Jammed Digits from the things most often confused with it.
- What identifies and describes what distinguishes a Jammed Digits, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about what distinguishes a Jammed Digits, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once what distinguishes a Jammed Digits is known, and what must it refuse? action
State and lifecycle The states a Jammed Digits 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 Jammed Digits between them.
- What identifies and describes the lifecycle of a Jammed Digits, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the lifecycle of a Jammed Digits, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the lifecycle of a Jammed Digits is known, and what must it refuse? action
Observations and current status
What is observed about a Jammed Digits, how often and by whom.
Observation record
How an observation of a Jammed Digits is recorded so that it can be superseded rather than overwritten.
- What identifies and describes an observation of a Jammed Digits, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about an observation of a Jammed Digits, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once an observation of a Jammed Digits is known, and what must it refuse? action
Process, inputs and outcome How a Jammed Digits 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 Jammed Digits, their order and what may run in parallel.
Steps, preconditions and completion
What has to be true before each step of a Jammed Digits and what marks it done.
- What identifies and describes a step of a Jammed Digits, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about a step of a Jammed Digits, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once a step of a Jammed Digits is known, and what must it refuse? action
Inputs, resources and results
What a Jammed Digits consumes and what it produces.
Inputs, outputs and side effects
The resources a Jammed Digits takes and the results it leaves, wanted or not.
- What identifies and describes the inputs and results of a Jammed Digits, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the inputs and results of a Jammed Digits, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the inputs and results of a Jammed Digits is known, and what must it refuse? action
Definitions and who holds them What Jammed Digits is taken to mean, and by whom.
When a field disagrees about a concept, the disagreement is the content. A model that picks one definition silently destroys the information.
Competing definitions
The main readings and the traditions behind them.
Definitions and their holders
Each definition with the school or body that holds it.
- Which definitions of Jammed Digits are in use, and which tradition or body holds each? definition
- What turns on the difference between them in practice? boundary
Operationalisation
How it is measured or applied when it has to be.
Measures and proxies
Instruments and indicators used to stand in for it.
- How is Jammed Digits operationalised or measured in practice, and by what instrument? measurement
- What does that operationalisation leave out, and when does that matter? boundary
Instances, use and consequence What counts as an instance of Jammed Digits and what follows from calling something that.
Applying a concept is an act with consequences, so a model must say what the label licenses and what it does not.
What counts as an instance
Clear cases, borderline cases and non-cases.
Tests for an instance
What would settle whether something falls under it.
- What would settle whether something is an instance of Jammed Digits? boundary
- Which borderline cases are argued about, and on what grounds? definition
Consequence of application
Rights, duties or decisions that follow from the label.
What the label licenses
What an agent may do once something is classified this way.
- What follows practically once something is treated as Jammed Digits? action
- What must an agent not infer from the label alone? action
Provenance, evidence and time Where every claim about a Jammed Digits 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 Jammed Digits and how confident it is.
- What identifies and describes a claim about a Jammed Digits, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about a claim about a Jammed Digits, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once a claim about a Jammed Digits 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 Jammed Digits is retired without being erased.
- What identifies and describes the validity of a claim about a Jammed Digits, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the validity of a claim about a Jammed Digits, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the validity of a claim about a Jammed Digits is known, and what must it refuse? action

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
- Nothing to see. What is recognised is an instance of it, and which instances count is exactly what is argued about.
Capabilities and actions required Derived, awaiting review
- observed and measured
