    "purpose": "Let an agent describe wetness as a condition, how it is perceived and measured, and the related concepts of wetting and moisture content.",
    "definition": "The condition of containing or being covered by a liquid, especially water, ranging from damp or moist to soaked; in physics and chemistry the related concept of wetting describes how well a liquid spreads on a surface, measured by the contact angle.",

      "No dedicated human skin wetness receptor has been identified; perception integrates thermal and tactile cues, with cooling often contributing.",
      "Moisture content is a measurable quantity (wet-basis or dry-basis mass fraction, or volumetric); wetness is a condition.",
