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 colonization as the founding of settlements across history and in space proposals, present the history of colonization and its effects on Indigenous peoples with attribution and without euphemism, distinguish it from colonialism as a system and from biological colonisation, and describe space settlement proposals as speculative.

The founding and settlement of a colony, the establishment by a group of people of a new community in a territory away from their origin, historically by ancient Greek and Phoenician settlers, by European powers in the Americas, Africa, Asia and Oceania, and in speculative form by proposals for settling other planets through crewed missions, embryo transport or self-replicating spacecraft; colonization in the historical sense involved displacement and domination of existing peoples and is studied critically, while biological colonisation of habitats by organisms is a related sense.

What it is for: Not applicable; a historical process and a speculative one.

It can be explain the concept and its senses; present history and effects with attribution; distinguish from colonialism and biological colonisation; describe space proposals as speculative.

Distinguishing features

Settlement of new territory

Displacement of existing peoples in historical cases

Critical historiography

Speculative space proposals

What it looks like

Not a visible object; settlements, colonies and proposals.

How it is recognised

Founding of settlements in new territory

Ancient, early modern and speculative space forms

Colonialism is the system of domination; biological colonisation is organisms settling habitats

What the second pass must settle

  • Should space colonisation and settler colonialism be separate primary entries?
  • How should historical and Indigenous sources be linked?
  • The registry entry has merged aliases naming speculative proposals and a research topic; should they be split off?
