Step 1 — Identity-Giving Function
Function class: TemperatureIndicationFunction
Process class: TemperatureIndicationProcess
Step 2 — Genus Proximus
Genus: AnalogueTemperatureIndicator
BFO root: MaterialArtifact
Step 3 — Differentia Specifica
Axiom expression:
∃hasComponentPartAtAllTimes.BimetallicCoil
Step 4 — Necessary Parts
- BimetallicCoil
Step 5 — Process Participation Signature
Inputs: {'type': 'PortionOfFluid', 'count': 1, 'constraints': 'process fluid or ambient medium whose temperature is sensed via direct thermal contact'}
Outputs: {'type': 'InformationBearingArtifact', 'count': 1, 'constraints': 'local visual indication of temperature on a graduated dial'}
Transformation: differential thermal expansion of the bimetallic coil converted into rotational needle displacement, read as a temperature value
Status: proposed
Axiom mode: necessary
