• Box roles: RBox role (What is this?)

An agent actively pursues an answer to a question — the investigative attitude, committing inquiry effort, stronger than merely asking or wondering. Range OPEN, like gmeow:asks. Non-functional. The effort and its vantage ride the statement; resolution is an epistemics acceptance, never a truth bit here.

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to record that an agent is actively investigating a question — committing inquiry effort to find an answer — the investigative attitude that drives a research queue.

Avoid when

• Avoid for mere idle entertaining (use gmeow:wondersWhether) and for the directed, resolution-aimed case where an epistemics state is the explicit target (use gmeow:seeksToKnow); inquiry is the activity, not yet the achieved knowing.

How to use

• Point the agent at the question under investigation; carry the vantage on gmeow:accordingTo of the statement, promote to gmeow:InquiryTenure when the inquiry's lifecycle is itself the fact, and mark resolution by an gmeow:accepts / gmeow:knowsThat over an gmeow:answers-claim.

Scope notes

• A question is OPEN for the agent until the agent gmeow:accepts / gmeow:knowsThat an gmeow:answers-claim for it; resolution REUSES the epistemics spine, so there is no new 'resolved' term (Principle 6). Reopening closes the prior accepted answer with gmeow:displayable false (Principle 10), never deletion.
