An Observation is a 6-tuple describing an assertion of some sort. It is derived from the Event it refers to.
The elements are:
- Observer: the entitity recording the observation
- Context: The situation of the Observer at the time of the observation
- Subject: Source of the event
- Relationship = The differential observed (what was special/worth noting)
- Object: what the subject acts on or is compared to
- Details: an unspecified parameter to the relationship such as "N times more/less"
- Indirect Object: ...
Example: "I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus..."
- Observer: this.currentNarrator()
- Context: this.captureContext({why: 'interpreting song'})
- Subject: observer.meaningOf('mommy')
- Object: observer.meaningOf('santa clause')
- Relationship: observer.impliedMeaningOf('kissing', subject, object)
Context is a snapshot of the extent of the propagation of the event which the observation captures.
