perception modality
- CURIE:
gmeow:perceptionModality - IRI: https://blackcatinformatics.ca/gmeow/perceptionModality
- Category: property
- Defined by:
gmeow:slices/sensory-environment - Box roles: RBox role (What is this?)
The sensory modality of a SensoryPerception — the channel through which the perception was made.
Structure
Property shape: object property; gmeow:SensoryPerception -> gmeow:SensoryModality; functional
Practical Pattern
Use gmeow:perceptionModality from gmeow:SensoryPerception to gmeow:SensoryModality when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

# Worked example: measured ≠ perceived (, P11/P12). A gmeow:SensoryEnvironment
# at a location and instant carries TWO kinds of condition that GMEOW refuses to
# conflate: a gmeow:hasMeasuredCondition (a gmeow:CoordinateMatrix — instrument
# data, every value in an explicit reference frame) and a gmeow:hasPerceivedCondition
# (a gmeow:SensoryPerception — how an observer experienced it, per
# gmeow:perceptionModality). "23.5 °C on the grid" and "it felt warm" are
# different claims about the same room: one objective and framed, one subjective.
