PURPOSE
    Define a formal AI-readable ontology for Manufacturing Engineering,
    including products, components, materials, manufacturing processes,
    machines, tooling, fixtures, process plans, routings, workstations,
    production systems, machining, forming, casting, joining, additive
    manufacturing, assembly, tolerances, quality, inspection, process
    capability, automation, maintenance, traceability, provenance,
    uncertainty, confidence and recursive manufacturing-engineering
    reasoning.

CORE_DEFINITION
    Manufacturing Engineering is the engineering discipline concerned with
    designing, selecting, controlling and improving the processes,
    machines, tooling, production systems and quality methods used to
    transform materials into products and components that satisfy defined
    engineering requirements.

    Critical Distinction
        Manufacturing-engineering reasoning must distinguish process plans
        from production schedules, tolerances from measurement uncertainty,
        process capability from individual product conformance and
        inspection from quality assurance. Product revision, material
        batch, process-plan version, machine, tool, fixture, process
        parameters, measurement evidence and traceability must remain
        explicit.

RECOMMENDED_AI_SUMMARY
    Manufacturing Engineering designs and controls the processes, machines,
    tooling and production systems that transform materials into products.
    Reliable reasoning preserves product and drawing revisions, material
    batches, process plans, operation sequences, machine and tool states,
    process parameters, tolerances, inspection evidence and manufacturing
    traceability while distinguishing process capability from individual
    product conformance and inspection from broader quality assurance.
