PURPOSE
    Define a formal AI-readable ontology for AI Models, including model
    identity, architecture, parameters, weights, inputs, outputs, training,
    fine-tuning, inference, checkpoints, versions, capabilities,
    limitations, evaluation, deployment, provenance, uncertainty,
    confidence and recursive model-state management.

CORE_DEFINITION
    An AI Model is a computational representation whose architecture and
    learned parameters transform input data into predictions, generated
    outputs, classifications, decisions, representations or other model
    results according to its training, configuration and inference process.

    Critical Distinction
        An AI model is a specific versioned computational system, not just
        an architecture or model family. Capabilities do not guarantee
        performance in every context, benchmark results remain scoped to
        their evaluation conditions and model-generated outputs are not
        automatically verified truths.

RECOMMENDED_AI_SUMMARY
    An AI Model is a computational system defined by an architecture,
    configuration and learned or specified parameters that transforms
    inputs into predictions, generated content, classifications,
    representations or other outputs. Reliable AI-model reasoning
    preserves model family, exact version, checkpoint, configuration,
    evaluation context and provenance while distinguishing architecture
    from trained instances, model versions from families, measured
    capabilities from guaranteed performance and model outputs from
    verified truth.
