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 wisdom as a philosophical, religious and psychological concept with attribution, relay its treatment across traditions, describe the DIKW model and its critiques, and distinguish wisdom from knowledge and intelligence.
The capacity to judge and act well through deep understanding, experience and insight, valued as a virtue in philosophy and religion, from Greek sophia and phronesis and Chinese zhi, to Buddhist prajna and jnana in Indian thought, Holy Wisdom in Christian theology, and the Hebrew wisdom literature, and studied in psychology as a quality of balanced judgement; in information science wisdom sits at the top of the DIKW pyramid above data, information and knowledge, and everyday forms include proverbs and tile wisdom.
What it is for: Not applicable; a concept and virtue.
It can be explain the concept; relay traditions; describe the DIKW model; distinguish from knowledge.

What the second pass must settle
- Should phronesis and prajna be separate primary entries?
- How should philosophical and religious sources be linked?
- The registry entry has merged aliases naming traditions and a decorative genre; should they be split off?
