behavior
Let an agent handle behaviour by domain, causes, measurement and change, presenting research with attribution and routing concerns about harmful behaviour to appropriate 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 handle behaviour by domain, causes, measurement and change, presenting research with attribution and routing concerns about harmful behaviour to appropriate support.
The actions and responses of an organism, person, group or system in relation to its environment or stimuli, studied in psychology, ethology, economics and other fields, and ranging from reflexes to complex social conduct.
What it is for: Understanding and influencing actions.
It can be describe behaviour in a given domain; summarise research on causes; find evidence-based behaviour change approaches; route safety concerns to support.

- Is an intervention manipulative or respectful of autonomy? boundary
- Which rules apply? provenance
Concerns Support.
Some behaviour signals risk.
Safety
Harmful behaviour.
Safety
Safety concerns.
- Does the behaviour suggest someone is at risk of harm? boundary
- Which support or emergency service applies? action
Animals
Pet behaviour.
Animals
Animal behaviour concerns.
- Is a pet behaviour change a sign of illness or distress? boundary
- Should a vet or qualified behaviourist be consulted? action
What the second pass must settle
- Should behaviour domains be separate entries?
- How should research be linked?
- How should technical senses be split off?
