awareness level

CURIE: gmeow:awarenessLevel
IRI: https://blackcatinformatics.ca/gmeow/awarenessLevel
Category: property
Defined by: gmeow:slices/awareness
Box roles: RBox role (What is this?)

Relates an experiencer — a gmeow:AwarenessTenure, or directly a process or agent — to its graded gmeow:AwarenessLevel (arousal / vigilance). The DOMAIN is left intentionally OPEN, exactly as gmeow:awarenessMode, so the edge applies to a tenure or directly to an agent. NOT functional and VANTAGE-INDEXED (Principle 9). The named, ordinal companion of the continuous gmeow:awarenessScalar — supply either or both.

Structure

Property shape: object property; ? -> gmeow:AwarenessLevel

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:awarenessLevel from ? to gmeow:AwarenessLevel when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

Usage Advice

Use when

Use to record the graded arousal of an experiencer on the named ladder — clinical-style alertness (alert, obtunded, unresponsive) on a gmeow:AwarenessTenure or directly on an agent.

Avoid when

Avoid using it for the qualitative state (that is gmeow:awarenessMode) and avoid forcing one level per subject (non-functional, vantage-indexed); for a continuous normalised arousal value reach for gmeow:awarenessScalar.

How to use

Point the experiencer at a seeded gmeow:AwarenessLevel individual; read the ordering off gmeow:levelRank, and supply gmeow:awarenessScalar alongside when a finer continuous value is available.

Scope notes

Ordinal arousal, distinct from mode (Principle 9): gmeow:awarenessLevel grades HOW alert the experiencer is (gmeow:AwarenessLevel), where gmeow:awarenessMode names WHICH state it is in; the two co-apply on the same tenure. For a continuous value use gmeow:awarenessScalar.
