Links an entity to a proximity measurement describing its distance or dissimilarity to another entity. The measurement carries the scalar value (via observationResult → ScalarQuantity), the reference frame (via hasReferenceFrame), and the target entity (via proximityTo). Flat form for the common case; promote to full reified Measurement when vantage, confidence, temporal scope, or standpoint matter.

Usage Advice
Use when
- Use as the flat link from an entity to a proximity measurement about its distance/dissimilarity to another.
Avoid when
- Avoid it when vantage, confidence, temporal scope, or standpoint matter — read the reified
Measurementdirectly.
How to use
- Use flat
gmeow:proximityfor the common case; the measurement still carriesgmeow:proximityTo, the frame, and the result scalar.
