PURPOSE
    Define a formal AI-readable ontology for Fluid Processing, including
    fluid streams, phases, density, viscosity, pressure, temperature,
    velocity, flow rate, piping, pumps, compressors, valves, vessels,
    mixing, agitation, filtration, flow measurement, pressure drop,
    cavitation, multiphase flow, hydraulic networks, control, safety,
    equipment performance, measurements, provenance, uncertainty,
    confidence and recursive fluid-processing reasoning.

CORE_DEFINITION
    Fluid Processing is the engineering of fluid movement, conditioning,
    mixing, pressure change, separation and handling through interconnected
    process equipment and piping under controlled pressure, temperature,
    flow and phase conditions.

    Critical Distinction
        Fluid-processing reasoning must distinguish mass from volumetric
        flow, static from total pressure, pump head from pressure and valve
        position from actual flow rate. Fluid identity, composition, phase,
        properties, flow basis, equipment state and calculated-versus-
        measured plant evidence must remain explicit.

RECOMMENDED_AI_SUMMARY
    Fluid Processing applies fluid mechanics and process engineering to
    move, pressurise, regulate, mix and condition liquids, gases and
    multiphase streams through piping and equipment. Reliable reasoning
    preserves fluid and phase identity, properties, pressure, flow basis,
    equipment state and measurement provenance while distinguishing valve
    commands and calculated hydraulic behaviour from measured process
    response.
