social relation
Let an agent describe social relations by type, structure and research, neutrally and with sources, and route people experiencing harmful social exclusion or abuse to support.
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 describe social relations by type, structure and research, neutrally and with sources, and route people experiencing harmful social exclusion or abuse to support.
Any relation between individuals or groups within a society, such as kinship, friendship, cooperation, conflict, rejection, shunning or institutional ties, studied in sociology, anthropology and network science.
What it is for: Understanding how societies are structured by relationships.
It can be classify types of social relations; explain social network analysis in general terms; summarise sociological research; route people experiencing harmful exclusion to support.
