• Defined by: gmeow:slices/awareness
• Box roles: RBox role (What is this?)

The ordinal rank of a gmeow:AwarenessLevel on the arousal ladder — a small integer ordering the rungs from high arousal (gmeow:levelHyperalert, 5) down to none (gmeow:levelUnresponsive, 0). Used purely to ORDER the named levels; it asserts an ordinal sequence, not a metric scale (for a continuous value use gmeow:awarenessScalar).

Structure

Property shape: datatype property; gmeow:AwarenessLevel -> xsd:integer

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:levelRank from gmeow:AwarenessLevel to xsd:integer when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

Common Companion Terms

gmeow:AwarenessLevel

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to order the named gmeow:AwarenessLevel rungs — the integer a query reads to compare arousal between two named levels (higher rank = more alert).

Avoid when

• Avoid treating the rank as a measured arousal magnitude or a confidence (use gmeow:awarenessScalar for a continuous value), and avoid asserting it on anything but a gmeow:AwarenessLevel individual.

How to use

• Assign each gmeow:AwarenessLevel one xsd:integer in 0–5 reflecting its position on the ladder; read 'more alert than' as a rank comparison, leaving continuous arousal to gmeow:awarenessScalar.

Scope notes

• Ordering only, not a metric (Principle 9): gmeow:levelRank fixes the high→low sequence of the six named rungs so a query can compare 'more alert than'; it does not claim equal spacing or a measurement unit. The continuous metric companion is gmeow:awarenessScalar.
