Give an agent a durable, checkable way to recognise a sōke, 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.

7 bundles · 14 layers · 16 findings · 44 questions
Identity, naming and classification How an agent tells one sōke from another, and a sōke 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 sōke, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the name of a sōke, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the name of a sōke 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 sōke, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about an identifier for a sōke, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once an identifier for a sōke is known, and what must it refuse? action
Classification and granularity
Where a sōke 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 sōke, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the kind of a sōke, by which method, and when was it true? provenance

Distinguishing features
What separates a sōke from the things most often confused with it.
- What identifies and describes what distinguishes a sōke, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about what distinguishes a sōke, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once what distinguishes a sōke is known, and what must it refuse? action
Place and movement Where a sōke 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 sōke is, and what that position is measured against.
- What identifies and describes the location of a sōke, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the location of a sōke, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the location of a sōke is known, and what must it refuse? action
Movement and transfer
How a sōke 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 sōke, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the movement of a sōke, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the movement of a sōke is known, and what must it refuse? action
State and lifecycle The states a sōke 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 sōke between them.
- What identifies and describes the lifecycle of a sōke, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the lifecycle of a sōke, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the lifecycle of a sōke is known, and what must it refuse? action
Observations and current status
What is observed about a sōke, how often and by whom.
Observation record
How an observation of a sōke is recorded so that it can be superseded rather than overwritten.
- What identifies and describes an observation of a sōke, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about an observation of a sōke, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once an observation of a sōke is known, and what must it refuse? action
People, roles and responsibility Who stands in what relation to a sōke.
Social things are defined by the relations people hold to them, and those relations change without the thing changing.
Roles and parties
The roles that exist around a sōke and who fills them.
Role assignments and their validity
Who holds which role over a sōke, from when, and on whose authority.
- What identifies and describes a role over a sōke, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about a role over a sōke, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once a role over a sōke is known, and what must it refuse? action
Ownership and accountability
Who answers for a sōke and who may decide about it.
Accountability and decision rights
Where responsibility for a sōke sits when something goes wrong.
- What identifies and describes responsibility for a sōke, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about responsibility for a sōke, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once responsibility for a sōke is known, and what must it refuse? action
Competence, qualification and licence What someone must be able to do, and be permitted to do, as sōke.
The permission is jurisdictional and the competence is not, and conflating them is how an agent concludes someone may practise when they may not.
Competences and qualifications
Skills and credentials the role assumes.
Qualifications and how they are evidenced
What counts as qualified, and what proves it.
- What competences and qualifications does sōke require, and how is each evidenced? definition
- Which qualifications transfer between jurisdictions and which do not? boundary
Licensing and the right to practise
Who grants permission, where it holds, and when it lapses.
Licence, issuer and validity
The permission, its issuer, its territory and its expiry.
- Who licenses sōke, in which territory, and for how long? provenance
- What may an unlicensed person not do, and what must an agent refuse to assume? action
Tasks, employment and accountability What sōke actually does and who answers for it.
A role is filled by people under an arrangement, and the arrangement decides liability, supervision and who may instruct whom.
Tasks and typical duties
The work itself, and how it differs by setting.
Duties and setting
What the role does and where the work varies.
- What tasks define sōke, and how do they differ between settings or seniority? definition
- Which tasks may only be done by this role, and which are shared with neighbouring roles? boundary
Employment and accountability
The relation under which the work is done and where responsibility sits.
Responsibility and supervision
Who instructs, who supervises, who is liable.
- Under what arrangement does someone act as sōke, and who supervises or is liable? definition
- When something goes wrong, what does the model need to have recorded to answer who was responsible? provenance
Provenance, evidence and time Where every claim about a sōke 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 sōke and how confident it is.
- What identifies and describes a claim about a sōke, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about a claim about a sōke, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once a claim about a sōke 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 sōke is retired without being erased.
- What identifies and describes the validity of a claim about a sōke, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the validity of a claim about a sōke, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the validity of a claim about a sōke is known, and what must it refuse? action
