Tympanic membrane retraction
Give an agent a durable, checkable way to recognise a Tympanic membrane retraction, 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 Tympanic membrane retraction from another, and a Tympanic membrane retraction 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 Tympanic membrane retraction, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the name of a Tympanic membrane retraction, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the name of a Tympanic membrane retraction 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 Tympanic membrane retraction, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about an identifier for a Tympanic membrane retraction, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once an identifier for a Tympanic membrane retraction is known, and what must it refuse? action
Classification and granularity
Where a Tympanic membrane retraction 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 Tympanic membrane retraction, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the kind of a Tympanic membrane retraction, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the kind of a Tympanic membrane retraction is known, and what must it refuse? action
Distinguishing features
What separates a Tympanic membrane retraction from the things most often confused with it.
- What identifies and describes what distinguishes a Tympanic membrane retraction, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about what distinguishes a Tympanic membrane retraction, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once what distinguishes a Tympanic membrane retraction is known, and what must it refuse? action
State and lifecycle The states a Tympanic membrane retraction 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 Tympanic membrane retraction between them.
- What identifies and describes the lifecycle of a Tympanic membrane retraction, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the lifecycle of a Tympanic membrane retraction, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the lifecycle of a Tympanic membrane retraction is known, and what must it refuse? action
Observations and current status
What is observed about a Tympanic membrane retraction, how often and by whom.
Observation record
How an observation of a Tympanic membrane retraction is recorded so that it can be superseded rather than overwritten.
- What identifies and describes an observation of a Tympanic membrane retraction, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about an observation of a Tympanic membrane retraction, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once an observation of a Tympanic membrane retraction is known, and what must it refuse? action
Definitions and who holds them What Tympanic membrane retraction is taken to mean, and by whom.
When a field disagrees about a concept, the disagreement is the content. A model that picks one definition silently destroys the information.
Competing definitions
The main readings and the traditions behind them.
Definitions and their holders
Each definition with the school or body that holds it.
- Which definitions of Tympanic membrane retraction are in use, and which tradition or body holds each? definition
- What turns on the difference between them in practice? boundary
Operationalisation
How it is measured or applied when it has to be.
Measures and proxies
Instruments and indicators used to stand in for it.
- How is Tympanic membrane retraction operationalised or measured in practice, and by what instrument? measurement
- What does that operationalisation leave out, and when does that matter? boundary
Instances, use and consequence What counts as an instance of Tympanic membrane retraction and what follows from calling something that.
Applying a concept is an act with consequences, so a model must say what the label licenses and what it does not.
What counts as an instance
Clear cases, borderline cases and non-cases.
Tests for an instance
What would settle whether something falls under it.
- What would settle whether something is an instance of Tympanic membrane retraction? boundary
- Which borderline cases are argued about, and on what grounds? definition
Consequence of application
Rights, duties or decisions that follow from the label.
What the label licenses
What an agent may do once something is classified this way.
- What follows practically once something is treated as Tympanic membrane retraction? action
- What must an agent not infer from the label alone? action
Provenance, evidence and time Where every claim about a Tympanic membrane retraction 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 Tympanic membrane retraction and how confident it is.
- What identifies and describes a claim about a Tympanic membrane retraction, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about a claim about a Tympanic membrane retraction, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once a claim about a Tympanic membrane retraction 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 Tympanic membrane retraction is retired without being erased.
- What identifies and describes the validity of a claim about a Tympanic membrane retraction, and in what units or vocabulary? definition
- Who or what asserted this about the validity of a claim about a Tympanic membrane retraction, by which method, and when was it true? provenance
- What may an agent decide or do once the validity of a claim about a Tympanic membrane retraction is known, and what must it refuse? action

What it is Derived, awaiting review
A cross-cutting notion registered under XCT.STA. 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 Tympanic membrane retraction, 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: atrophic nonflaccid tympanic membrane.
- 1 finer distinctions are held as aliases rather than separate entries, because telling them apart needs a task that asks for it.
- Described in 4 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 not applicable Not applicable
- Made of: an abstraction with no physical instance
- 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
- Nothing to see. What is recognised is an instance of it, and which instances count is exactly what is argued about.
Capabilities and actions required Derived, awaiting review
