Step 1 — Identity-Giving Function
Function class: SiphonicTransferFunction
Process class: SiphonicTransferProcess
Step 2 — Genus Proximus
Genus: Pipe
BFO root: MaterialArtifact
Step 3 — Differentia Specifica
Axiom expression:
∃bearerOf.SiphonicTransferFunction
Step 4 — Necessary Parts
Step 5 — Process Participation Signature
Inputs: {'type': 'PortionOfLiquid', 'count': 1, 'constraints': "liquid at the source reservoir's free surface, at or below atmospheric pressure"}
Outputs: {'type': 'PortionOfLiquid', 'count': 1, 'constraints': 'same liquid, discharged at a point below the source surface'}
Transformation: liquid raised over a crest above the source surface and delivered to a lower discharge point, driven by the head difference between the tube's two legs and atmospheric pressure, once the tube is primed

Status: proposed
Axiom mode: equivalent
