Risk State

Class
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#RiskState
Definition

Obligation-activating condition of potential harm (realized by activatesObligation / defeasibleUnder).

Inherited

Deontic-function archetype; case-specific risk states subclass this. The salience of the risk (magnitude, probability, immediacy) is a state ATTRIBUTE (Jones 1991), not a subkind.
