Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent explain kinds of rights, their sources and enforcement routes in general terms, attribute contested claims, and point to legal help without giving legal advice.

Entitlements recognised by law, agreement or ethics, such as human rights, Indigenous land rights, consumer rights including the right to repair, rights to equality and property rights; rights are defined, limited and enforced differently across legal systems, and some claims are contested.

What it is for: Protecting people, groups and interests.

It can be identify the source of a right; find how to enforce or claim a right; explain human rights instruments; describe contested rights claims neutrally.
