speech organ
Give an agent a durable, checkable way to recognise a speech organ, 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 speech organ from another, and a speech organ 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 speech organ, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the name of a speech organ, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the name of a speech organ 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 speech organ, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about an identifier for a speech organ, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once an identifier for a speech organ is known, and what must it refuse? action
Classification and granularity
Where a speech organ 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 speech organ, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the kind of a speech organ, by which method, and when was it true? provenance

Distinguishing features
What separates a speech organ from the things most often confused with it.
- What identifies and describes what distinguishes a speech organ, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about what distinguishes a speech organ, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once what distinguishes a speech organ is known, and what must it refuse? action
Form, composition and condition What a speech organ 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.
- What identifies and describes the dimensions of a speech organ, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the dimensions of a speech organ, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the dimensions of a speech organ is known, and what must it refuse? action
Material and composition
Anatomy, parts and life stage.
Parts and life stages
The parts of a speech organ and the stages it passes through.
- What identifies and describes the composition of a speech organ, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the composition of a speech organ, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the composition of a speech organ is known, and what must it refuse? action
Condition and integrity
Wear, damage, health and the difference between working and broken.
Condition, damage and health
How the condition of a speech organ is judged and by whom.
- What identifies and describes the condition of a speech organ, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the condition of a speech organ, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the condition of a speech organ is known, and what must it refuse? action
Place and movement Where a speech organ is, how it got there and where it may go (self-moving).
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 speech organ is, and what that position is measured against.
- What identifies and describes the location of a speech organ, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the location of a speech organ, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the location of a speech organ is known, and what must it refuse? action
Movement and transfer
How a speech organ moves on its own.
Movement events and constraints
What counts as a movement, what records it and what limits it.
- What identifies and describes the movement of a speech organ, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the movement of a speech organ, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the movement of a speech organ is known, and what must it refuse? action
State and lifecycle The states a speech organ 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 speech organ between them.
- What identifies and describes the lifecycle of a speech organ, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the lifecycle of a speech organ, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the lifecycle of a speech organ is known, and what must it refuse? action
Observations and current status
What is observed about a speech organ, how often and by whom.
Observation record
How an observation of a speech organ is recorded so that it can be superseded rather than overwritten.
- What identifies and describes an observation of a speech organ, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about an observation of a speech organ, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once an observation of a speech organ is known, and what must it refuse? action
Taxonomic placement and identification What speech organ is called scientifically, by whose authority, and how a specimen is recognised.
Names change with revisions while the organism does not, so a name without its authority and date cannot be reconciled later.
Accepted name and synonymy
The current binomial, its author and date, and the names it replaced.
Accepted name, authority and synonyms
What to record so a later revision can be applied without losing the old data.
- What is the accepted scientific name of speech organ, with its author and year, and which synonyms does it absorb? definition
- Which taxonomic authority is being followed, and what would a competing authority say? provenance
Field identification
The characters that separate speech organ from what it is confused with.
Diagnostic characters and confusable kinds
Features that settle an identification, and those that only suggest it.
- Which observable characters distinguish speech organ from its closest look-alikes, and at which life stage are they visible? boundary
- What evidence is enough to record an identification as confirmed rather than provisional? provenance
Life stages, condition and behaviour What speech organ does over its life and how its state is judged.
Stage and condition change what may be done - handled, treated, harvested, left alone - and both are observations with a time.
Stages and reproduction
Development from origin to death, including forms that look like different animals.
Life stages and their marks
The stages worth recording and what tells them apart.
- What stages does speech organ pass through, and what observable change marks each transition? definition
- Which stages are so unlike the adult that they are mistaken for another kind? boundary
Health and condition
How condition is assessed and by whom.
Condition assessment
Signs of health, injury and stress, and who is competent to judge them.
- How is the condition of speech organ judged, on what scale, and by whom? measurement
- What condition obliges an agent to act, and what act is permitted to whom? action
Habitat, range and conservation status Where speech organ lives and how threatened it is.
Range and status govern what is lawful, and both are assessments with an assessor and a year rather than facts of nature.
Habitat and range
Native range, introductions and the habitat it needs.
Range, introductions and habitat
What to record about where it is found and how it got there.
- What is the native range of speech organ, where has it been introduced, and what habitat does it require? definition
- What distinguishes a native record from an introduced or vagrant one? boundary
Protection and legal status
Conservation assessments and the rules that follow from them.
Conservation status and legal consequence
The assessment, its date, and what it forbids or requires where.
- What conservation status does speech organ hold, under which assessment and year? provenance
- What does that status forbid or require of an agent, and in which jurisdiction? action
Provenance, evidence and time Where every claim about a speech organ 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 speech organ and how confident it is.
- What identifies and describes a claim about a speech organ, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about a claim about a speech organ, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once a claim about a speech organ is known, and what must it refuse? action

When a claim was true, when it was learnt, and what replaced it.
Validity period and supersession
How an old claim about a speech organ is retired without being erased.
- What identifies and describes the validity of a claim about a speech organ, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the validity of a claim about a speech organ, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the validity of a claim about a speech organ is known, and what must it refuse? action

What it is Derived, awaiting review
A physical thing registered under PHY.LIV. 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 speech organ, 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: active articulator, passive articulator.
- 2 finer distinctions are held as aliases rather than separate entries, because telling them apart needs a task that asks for it.
- Described in 23 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 required Derived, awaiting review
- Made of: a living thing

- 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 diagnostic characters, and those differ by life stage - the young of many kinds are mistaken for other kinds entirely. A sighting is settled by characters, a photograph and a place, not by a name alone.
Capabilities and actions required Derived, awaiting review
- observed and measured
