Semi-formal axiom (Aristotelian)
Axiom type
LLM classification basis: function-based → ≡
The concept is defined primarily by its intended function - 'to release thermal energy by burning a combustible mixture'. The identity is given by the designed function of combustion and thermal energy release, regardless of physical implementation (gas burner, oil burner, coal burner, etc.)

Identity-Giving Function
✓ done
CombustionFunction → CombustionProcess ⊑ ChemicalReaction
▼
COPI-Core operation
ChemicalReaction via process parent ChemicalReaction
LLM rationale:
The identity-giving function is combustion - the controlled burning of a fuel-air mixture to release thermal energy. This distinguishes burners from other heating equipment that might use electrical resistance, solar, or other heating methods.

Genus Proximus

Heater · Assembly
▼
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:
A burner is a specialized type of heater that uses combustion as its heating method. The genus 'heater' is already enriched in the ontology with HeatingFunction. This is more specific than 'Assembly' but captures the thermal energy release purpose that defines all burners.

Conditions that distinguish
Burner
from sibling classes under genus
Heater.
Only what is not already entailed by the genus.
Differentia expression
Differentia (natural language)
LLM rationale:
The differentia is the specific combustion-based mechanism for achieving the heating function inherited from the genus. This distinguishes burners from other heating equipment types under the same genus.

Necessary Parts
✓ done
no necessary parts
▼
Consider part-whole relations beyond subsumption:
hasComponentPartAtAllTimes (universal, structurally essential)
· hasComponentPartAtSomeTime (contingent, optional component)
LLM rationale:
These parts are fundamental to any combustion-based heating device - a space for burning, fuel delivery, and air supply are universal requirements for controlled combustion.

Process Participation Signature ⟨I, O, T⟩
✓ done
FuelPortion + PortionOfAir → CombustionProduct
▼
Inputs (I)
Outputs (O)
Transformation (T)
LLM rationale:
Burners have the signature of consuming fuel and air to produce hot gases and thermal energy through combustion chemistry
