Axiom type
LLM classification basis: function-based → ≡
ISO 15926-4's definition is purely capability-based ('capable of obtaining specific information or physical samples for diagnostic or experimental purposes'), naming no specific mechanism or construction -- any device meeting this capability, regardless of implementation, qualifies.

Identity-Giving Function

ProbingFunction → ProbingProcess ⊑ MeasurementProcess

COPI-Core operation
MeasurementProcess via process parent MeasurementProcess
LLM rationale:
No already-enriched function is co-extensional with this dual information-or-sample-acquisition capability: DetectionFunction (Detector genus) is narrower (sensing only, no physical sample extraction), and no existing function covers both. Treated as a new, independent function per the Reuse vs. Creation Policy's 'New' case.

Genus (genus proximum)
Most specific superclass — may be a domain class like "Valve" or an IOF-Core root.
BFO/IOF-Core Root
bfo:Object branch
bfo:ObjectAggregate branch
bfo:ImmaterialEntity branch
LLM rationale:
ISO 15926-4's own hierarchy names INSTRUMENTATION FUNCTION as parent (describing capability, not object type), but the term itself is typed ClassOfFunctionalObject (the same ISO 15926-4 typing pattern used for already-enriched physical instruments like 'gauge' and 'chromatograph'). Instrument (already enriched, exported) is used as the concrete genus, matching the many sibling ISO 15926-4 X-PROBE subtypes (corrosion probe, hydrogen probe, humidity probe, etc.) which are all physical instrumentation items.

Conditions that distinguish
Probe
from sibling classes under genus
Instrument.
Only what is not already entailed by the genus.
Differentia expression
Differentia (natural language)
LLM rationale:
Minimal functional differentia; no structural condition is added since the primary definition is purely capability-based.

Necessary Parts
✓ done
no necessary parts
▼
Consider part-whole relations beyond subsumption:
hasComponentPartAtAllTimes (universal, structurally essential)
· hasComponentPartAtSomeTime (contingent, optional component)
LLM rationale:
No structural component is named in the definitions gathered; the tertiary evidence describes application/insertion context (in-situ vs. remote sampling), not a named part.

Process Participation Signature ⟨I, O, T⟩
✓ done
PortionOfFluid → InformationContentEntity

Inputs (I)
Outputs (O)
Transformation (T)
LLM rationale:
The in-situ sensing case (the dominant real-world usage per the tertiary evidence, and matching the colleague's 'analyzer probe' framing) fits measurement_transduction; the physical-sample-extraction case is a secondary reading of the primary definition, noted in cross_standard_notes rather than driving the signature. [Corrected 2026-09-10: replaced retired InformationBearingArtifact (ODR-021, resolved 2026-08-08 -- COPI no longer has this class) with the established ICE type(s) actually used by the reused/sibling genus, confirmed against regen_enriched_owl.py's assert_all_classes_anchored gate.]
