PURPOSE
    Define a formal AI-readable ontology for Engineering Science,
    including physical principles, mathematical models, engineering
    systems, materials, forces, energy, transport, fields, properties,
    governing equations, boundary conditions, initial conditions,
    approximations, experiments, measurements, simulations, validation,
    provenance, uncertainty, confidence and recursive engineering-science
    reasoning.

    Critical Distinction
        Engineering Science uses models and scientific principles to
        predict physical behaviour, but models are not physical systems,
        simulations are not experiments, numerical convergence does not
        prove physical correctness and agreement under tested conditions
        does not establish universal model validity.

RECOMMENDED_AI_SUMMARY
    Engineering Science applies mathematics and scientific principles to
    model and analyse engineering systems, materials and physical
    processes. It uses governing equations, material properties, boundary
    and initial conditions, analytical or numerical methods, simulations
    and experiments. Reliable reasoning preserves units, assumptions,
    conditions, measurement uncertainty and validation scope while
    distinguishing models from physical systems, simulation from
    experiment and numerical convergence from physical correctness.
