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.

Written from the archetype playbook - what this kind of thing needs beyond identity and provenance - and from the structure that recurred across 6,333 models already researched by two engines. Applied to this entry by rule. No source was read for this thing and no claim here is researched. This entry carries no facets of its own, so they were inferred from its domain - a guess about a whole domain applied to one thing.

Generator: vr.draft.v3

Purpose and description

Give an agent a durable, checkable way to recognise a training vessel, record what state it is in, and decide what may be done with it.

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

It can be observed and measured.

Distinguishing features

Names folded into this entry, which a task may need to split apart again: Zarco (2015)-class ketch, Shimayuki-class training ship, Léopard-class training ship, Wodnik-class training ship, Smolnyy-class training ship, ABG-class cadet training ship, artillery training ship, Project 14400 training ship, Krishna-class training ship, National Security Multi-Mission Vessel.

10 finer distinctions are held as aliases rather than separate entries, because telling them apart needs a task that asks for it.

Described in 30 Wikipedia languages, which is a measure of how widely the thing is known, not of how important it is.

Physical character

Made of: matter you can touch.

Mobility varies between examples.

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.

How it is recognised

Recognised by form, by the arrangement of its controls, and by markings - a plate, a model number, a certification mark. Form alone rarely separates two models that do very different things.

Bundle to layer to finding to question, as the second pass will find it: 8 bundles · 17 layers · 19 findings · 51 questions.

Identity, naming and classification How an agent tells one training vessel from another, and a training vessel 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.

  1. What identifies and describes the name of a training vessel, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the name of a training vessel, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once the name of a training vessel 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.

  1. What identifies and describes an identifier for a training vessel, and in what units or vocabulary? definition

  3. What may an agent decide or do once an identifier for a training vessel is known, and what must it refuse? action

Classification and granularity

Where a training vessel 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.

  1. What identifies and describes the kind of a training vessel, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the kind of a training vessel, by which method, and when was it true? provenance

  3. What may an agent decide or do once what distinguishes a training vessel is known, and what must it refuse? action
Form, composition and condition What a training vessel is made of, what shape and size it takes, and what state it is in.

A physical thing can be measured, and a model that cannot record its measurements cannot support any decision that depends on them.

Form and dimensions

Shape, size, mass and the ranges these take across examples.

Measurable dimensions and their units

The quantities worth recording and the units they are recorded in.

  1. What identifies and describes the dimensions of a training vessel, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the dimensions of a training vessel, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once the dimensions of a training vessel is known, and what must it refuse? action

What a training vessel is built from and which parts are replaceable.

  1. What identifies and describes the composition of a training vessel, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the composition of a training vessel, by which method, and when was it true? provenance

Wear, damage, health and the difference between working and broken.

Condition, damage and health

How the condition of a training vessel is judged and by whom.

  1. What identifies and describes the condition of a training vessel, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the condition of a training vessel, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once the condition of a training vessel is known, and what must it refuse? action
Place and movement Where a training vessel is, how it got there and where it may go (varies).

A thing that can move needs its position recorded with a time, or every later claim about it is about a place it has left.

Location and placement

Position, containment and the reference frame the position is given in.

Position, container and reference frame

Where a training vessel is, and what that position is measured against.

  1. What identifies and describes the location of a training vessel, and in what units or vocabulary? definition

  2. Who or what asserted this about the movement of a training vessel, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once the movement of a training vessel is known, and what must it refuse? action
State and lifecycle The states a training vessel 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 training vessel between them.

  1. What identifies and describes the lifecycle of a training vessel, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the lifecycle of a training vessel, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once the lifecycle of a training vessel is known, and what must it refuse? action

Observations and current status

What is observed about a training vessel, how often and by whom.

Observation record

How an observation of a training vessel is recorded so that it can be superseded rather than overwritten.

  1. What identifies and describes an observation of a training vessel, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about an observation of a training vessel, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once an observation of a training vessel is known, and what must it refuse? action
Function and operating principle What training vessel is for and how it achieves it.

Two devices with the same name can work on different principles, and the principle is what predicts failure and constrains use.

Intended function

The job it does, and the jobs it is used for anyway.

Function, principle and variants

What it does, how, and which variants do it differently.

  1. What function does training vessel perform, on what operating principle, and which variants differ in that principle? definition
  2. What use falls outside the intended function but happens in practice? boundary

Capacity and rating

The numbers that say what it can do and where it stops.

Ratings and their conditions

Rated capacity, power, throughput and the conditions each assumes.

  1. What ratings characterise training vessel, in what units, and under what stated conditions? measurement
  2. What happens beyond the rating - degradation, refusal, damage - and how is that detected? action
Operation, controls and state How training vessel is operated and what state it is in right now.

An agent acting on a device needs its current state and the controls that change it, not just its specification.

Controls and modes

What can be set, what that changes, and what is interlocked.

Control surface and interlocks

The settings available and the conditions that block them.

  1. What controls and modes does training vessel have, and what does each change? definition
  2. Which actions are interlocked or forbidden in which state, and what must be true before acting? action

Condition and maintenance

Wear, service intervals, consumables and the line between working and broken.

Condition, service and consumables

What is consumed, what is serviced, and how condition is judged.

  1. What consumables and service does training vessel need, at what interval, and on whose authority? measurement
  2. What evidence separates a unit that is working from one that is out of service? boundary
Kind, model and unit Whether a claim about training vessel is about the kind, a product line, or one physical unit.

This is the boundary most often got wrong for made things, and getting it wrong mixes a catalogue entry with the machine in the yard.

Level of reference

The three levels and what belongs at each.

What belongs to kind, model and unit

Which properties are shared by all of them and which are not.

  1. Which facts about training vessel hold for every one of them, which for a model, and which only for one unit? boundary
  2. What identifies an individual unit, and what should an agent do when it has only the kind? action

Standards and conformity

The standards a working example must meet and who attests it.

Standards, marks and attestation

Which standard applies, who certifies, and what the mark means.

  1. Which standards govern training vessel, issued by whom, and what does conformity actually assert? provenance
  2. What may an agent conclude from a certification mark, and what may it not? boundary
Provenance, evidence and time Where every claim about a training vessel 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 training vessel and how confident it is.

  1. What identifies and describes a claim about a training vessel, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about a claim about a training vessel, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once a claim about a training vessel is known, and what must it refuse? action

How an old claim about a training vessel is retired without being erased.

  1. What identifies and describes the validity of a claim about a training vessel, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
  2. Who or what asserted this about the validity of a claim about a training vessel, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
  3. What may an agent decide or do once the validity of a claim about a training vessel is known, and what must it refuse? action

What the second pass must settle

  • Which of the bundles below does a real task actually need, and which are ceremony?
  • What does this thing have that the facets do not capture at all?
  • Which neighbouring kind is most often confused with a training vessel, and on what evidence are they told apart?
