Axiomatization Decision Log
1
Identity-Giving Function
Function class
ActuationFunction
⊑ DesignedFunction
Realized in
ActuationProcess
⊑ PlannedProcess
The solenoid actuator's primary identity-giving function is actuation — converting electrical energy into mechanical motion for operating other devices. The ActuationFunction already exists in the ontology and is co-extensional with the function this concept performs.
2
Genus Determination
ElectricActuator
ISO 15926-4 explicitly states that SOLENOID ACTUATOR is an ELECTRIC ACTUATOR. This is the most specific appropriate superclass, already enriched in our ontology. It is more specific than the general 'actuator' class and correctly captures the electrical energy input characteristic.
3
Necessary Parts
| Part class | Parent | Relation |
|---|---|---|
| None | MaterialArtifact | hasComponentPartAtAllTimes |
| None | MaterialArtifact | hasComponentPartAtAllTimes |
The ISO 15926-4 definition explicitly identifies solenoid and plunger as necessary components, but these specific terms are not available in the Known Component Terms list, so names cannot be assigned.
4
Process Participation Signature ⟨I, O, T⟩
Inputs (I)
—
Outputs (O)
—
Transformation (T)
electrical energy converted to electromagnetic force that drives a plunger in linear axial motion
The signature reflects the fundamental electrical-to-mechanical energy conversion with linear output motion, distinguishing it from rotational electric motors or fluid-powered actuators.
5
Axiom Mode Decision
Necessary conditions only
— modelled as a primitive universal
(⊑, SubClassOf). Identity is grounded in designed
function and cannot be reduced to a property checklist.
Constructive type defined by solenoid mechanism. Under OWA, sufficient conditions would force any device with solenoid and plunger components to be classified as a solenoid actuator, potentially misclassifying complex hybrid devices or specialized equipment containing solenoid components but serving different primary functions.
Cross-Standard Observations
Single source definition from ISO 15926-4 provides clear constructive characterization. No cross-standard divergences detected.
