Give an agent a durable, checkable way to recognise a late night television, 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.

6 bundles · 12 layers · 14 findings · 38 questions
Identity, naming and classification How an agent tells one late night television from another, and a late night television 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 may an agent decide or do once what distinguishes a late night television is known, and what must it refuse? action
State and lifecycle The states a late night television 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 late night television between them.
- What identifies and describes the lifecycle of a late night television, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the lifecycle of a late night television, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the lifecycle of a late night television is known, and what must it refuse? action
Observations and current status
What is observed about a late night television, how often and by whom.
Observation record
How an observation of a late night television is recorded so that it can be superseded rather than overwritten.
- What identifies and describes an observation of a late night television, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about an observation of a late night television, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once an observation of a late night television is known, and what must it refuse? action
Content, encoding and access What a late night television says, how it is encoded and who may read it.
An informational thing carries content that can be copied, versioned and withheld, none of which its physical carrier explains.
Content and encoding
The content itself, its format and its language.
Content, format and language
What a late night television contains and in what form it is held.
- What identifies and describes the content of a late night television, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the content of a late night television, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the content of a late night television is known, and what must it refuse? action

The permissions attached to a late night television and the period it survives.
- What identifies and describes access to a late night television, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about access to a late night television, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once access to a late night television is known, and what must it refuse? action
Work, version and copy Which level of late night television a statement is about.
The work, the edition, the file and the copy in hand are four things; rights and content attach to different ones.
Levels of the thing
Work, expression, manifestation and item, in plain terms.
What belongs at each level
Which facts hold for the work and which only for one copy.
- For late night television, which facts belong to the work itself, which to a version, and which to a single copy? boundary
- What identifier exists at each level, and which one is being cited? definition
Versions, editions and variants
How versions differ and which is canonical to whom.
Versions and canonicity
Differences that matter and who calls one authoritative.
- Which versions or editions of late night television exist, and how do they differ substantively? definition
- Who treats which version as authoritative, and for what purpose? provenance
Authorship, rights and permitted use Who made late night television and what may be done with it.
Rights are jurisdictional, time-limited and attached to a level, and an agent that ignores that will copy what it may not.
Authorship and contribution
Who contributed what, and in what capacity.
Contributors and roles
The people and bodies behind it, with their roles.
- Who authored or contributed to late night television, in what roles, and how is that attested? provenance
- Where authorship is disputed or anonymous, what is recorded instead? boundary
Rights and permissions
Which rights subsist, where, until when, and what they permit.
Rights, term and permitted acts
The regime in force and what it allows.
- What rights subsist in late night television, in which jurisdictions, and until when? definition
- Which acts are permitted without further permission, and which must an agent refuse? action
Provenance, evidence and time Where every claim about a late night television 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 late night television and how confident it is.
- What identifies and describes a claim about a late night television, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about a claim about a late night television, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once a claim about a late night television 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 late night television is retired without being erased.
- What identifies and describes the validity of a claim about a late night television, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the validity of a claim about a late night television, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the validity of a claim about a late night television is known, and what must it refuse? action

What it is Derived, awaiting review
An informational thing registered under INF.MED. 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 late night television, 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: B8station, late-night radio talk show, late-night anime.
- 3 finer distinctions are held as aliases rather than separate entries, because telling them apart needs a task that asks for it.
- Described in 10 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
- read it and act on what it says
- observe it, measure it, record its state

Direct properties not applicable Not applicable
- Made of: content that has to be carried by something else
- 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
- What is seen is a copy or a performance, not the work. Recognising the work means recognising the content through whatever is carrying it.
Capabilities and actions required Derived, awaiting review

- observed and measured

Standards and interfaces required Missing, in the backlog

Context of use required Derived, awaiting review
