• Defined by: gmeow:slices/sensory-environment
• Box roles: TBox role (What is this?)

The sensory channel or domain through which an environment property is measured or perceived — a value vocabulary (individuals, never subclasses). Distinguishes visual, auditory, olfactory, gustatory, tactile, thermal, air-quality, and other environmental sensing channels. A single environment or observation may span multiple modalities (Principle 9: co-equal, non-functional).

Structure

Subclass of: gufo:QualityValue

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:SensoryModality as a specialized kind of gufo:QualityValue. Add statement metadata or a standpoint when the assertion needs provenance, confidence, or vantage.
