PURPOSE
    Define a formal AI-readable ontology for Statics, including particles,
    rigid bodies, forces, moments, couples, loads, supports, reactions,
    free-body diagrams, equilibrium equations, centroids, centres of
    gravity, distributed loads, friction, trusses, frames, machines,
    internal forces, assumptions, measurements, provenance, uncertainty,
    confidence and recursive static-equilibrium reasoning.

CORE_DEFINITION
    Statics is the branch of mechanics concerned with bodies in mechanical
    equilibrium, where the resultant force and resultant moment satisfy the
    applicable equilibrium conditions and acceleration is absent under the
    chosen model.

    Critical Distinction
        Statics analyses force and moment balance under equilibrium
        conditions. Forces are not moments, support reactions are not
        applied loads, zero velocity does not by itself prove equilibrium,
        and satisfaction of equilibrium equations does not establish
        structural stability.

RECOMMENDED_AI_SUMMARY
    Statics is the branch of mechanics concerned with bodies in
    equilibrium. It uses free-body diagrams and force and moment balance to
    determine reactions, resultants and other unknown static quantities.
    Reliable statics reasoning preserves geometry, support constraints,
    load application points, vector directions, units and assumptions while
    distinguishing forces from moments, reactions from applied loads and
    static equilibrium from structural stability.
