Property Structure
1 · Object and Data Properties
rdfs:domain on this class or ancestor
| Property | Range | Description |
|---|---|---|
| activatedByEvent inherited | Event | Event Calculus initiation: relates a State to the Event whose occurrence brings the State into being (the start boundary of the fluent). |
| activatesConstraint inherited | Constraint | Relates a State to a Constraint that the obtaining of the State activates, bounding the actions available to the role-bearers the state concerns (the S->Cs linkage). |
| activatesObligation inherited | Obligation | Relates a State to an Obligation that the obtaining of the State makes applicable. This is the forward, activating complement of defeasibleUnder (which records the State under which an obligation yields): a state such as hazard exposure or an undertaken commitment can bring an obligation into force for the role-bearers it concerns. |
| affects inherited | Agent | Relates a State to the Agent(s) it bears on in the case scenario (the parties whose situation the state changes), distinct from the obligations/constraints the state activates (activatesObligation / activatesConstraint). |
| terminatedByEvent inherited | Event | Event Calculus termination: relates a State to the Event whose occurrence ends the State (the end boundary of the fluent). |
2 · Definitional Attributes
SHACL definitional shape
| Attribute | Property (sh:path) | Description |
|---|---|---|
| state archetype | stateCategory | The content archetype, which drives the archetype subClassOf typing: EpistemicState, RiskState, CompetenceState, EmergencyState, ConflictOfInterestState, RegulatoryState, TemporalState, ResourceState, DisclosureState. A classification of the state content, explicitly NOT the activatesObligation relation. A routing input, not stored as a literal. |
| persistence type | persistenceType | Whether the state is an inertial fluent (holds until an event terminates it) or a non-inertial fluent (true at a single time point), the inertial versus non-inertial fluent distinction of Berreby et al. (2017) in the Event Calculus; a class-level datatype, a property of the fluent predicate itself. |
3 · Bearer Attributes
SHACL property shape
individual data
| Attribute | Property (sh:path) | Description |
|---|---|---|
| urgency level | urgencyLevel | The salience or acuteness of the state in this case (Jones 1991 moral-intensity salience; components include temporal immediacy, magnitude of consequences, and proximity). |
| activates obligation | activatesObligation | The obligation the state makes applicable, via the outgoing S->O activatesObligation edge; the incoming counterpart is defeasibleUnder (O->S), recording the obligation that yields when this state obtains. Range: Obligation. |
| activates constraint | activatesConstraint | The constraint the state activates, via the outgoing S->Cs activatesConstraint edge, bounding the actions available while the state holds. Range: Constraint. |
| affects | affects | The agent(s) the state bears on, via the S->Agent affects edge, resolved from the affected-parties text by embedding shortlist + LLM multi-select. Range: Agent. |
| subject | subject | The entity the state holds of (the bearer text); a kept literal that also feeds the defeasibility prompt as state context. |
| active period | activePeriod | The period over which the state holds, as extracted text. |
| triggering event | triggeringEvent | The event bringing the state into being; kept verbatim on the individual and also resolved to the activatedByEvent edge (the start boundary of the fluent). |
| terminated by | terminatedBy | What removes the state; kept verbatim on the individual and also resolved to the terminatedByEvent edge (the end boundary of the fluent). |
| activated by event | activatedByEvent | The Event whose occurrence initiates this state, via the outgoing activatedByEvent edge (the start boundary of the fluent). Range: Event. |
| terminated by event | terminatedByEvent | The Event whose occurrence ends this state, via the outgoing terminatedByEvent edge (the end boundary of the fluent). Range: Event. |

| From | Property | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Action | initiates inherited | Event Calculus initiation: relates a happening (Action or Event) to a State (fluent) that begins to hold as a result and persists until terminated (inertial) or holds momentarily (non-inertial). |
| Action | terminates inherited | Event Calculus termination: relates a happening (Action or Event) to a State (fluent) that ceases to hold as a result. |
| Event | initiates inherited | Event Calculus initiation: relates a happening (Action or Event) to a State (fluent) that begins to hold as a result and persists until terminated (inertial) or holds momentarily (non-inertial). |
| Event | terminates inherited | Event Calculus termination: relates a happening (Action or Event) to a State (fluent) that ceases to hold as a result. |
| Obligation | defeasibleUnder inherited | Relates an obligation to a State whose obtaining renders the obligation defeasible, that is, subject to override by a competing obligation with stronger normative support. The State specifies the context in which the obligation yields. |
