Relates a reference frame to the entity that hosts it — the entity whose existence bounds the frame's existence. A local grid is hosted by its building; a robot base frame by its robot; a mental reference frame by its perceiver (person, animal, or AI agent). When the host ceases to exist, the hosted frame deactivates (destruction event or existenceInterval end). Non-functional: contested authorship or multi-agent shared frames may have multiple host claims that coexist (Principle 9).

Structure

Property shape: object property; gmeow:ReferenceFrame -> gmeow:Entity

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:isHostedBy from gmeow:ReferenceFrame to gmeow:Entity when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

Common Companion Terms

gmeow:ReferenceFrame, gmeow:Entity

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to relate a reference frame to the entity whose existence bounds it — a building, robot, or perceiver; non-functional, so shared/contested host claims coexist.

Avoid when

• Avoid using it merely to flag that a host is required (that is gmeow:requiresHost) and avoid forcing a single host for shared frames (Principle 9).

How to use

• Point gmeow:isHostedBy at the hosting Entity; when the host ceases to exist the frame deactivates via its lifecycle interval.

Examples

• ex:siteGrid gmeow:isHostedBy ex:building.
