Definition

physical artefact designed to be held, guided or affixed to facilitate execution of a task by a human, machine or mechanism.

Semi-Formal Definition:

if x is a tool then x is a physical artefact and x is designed to be held, guided or affixed by a human, machine or mechanism to facilitate execution of a task

Adapted From

• • ISO 15531‑1 (resource definitions) refers to tools as devices used in manufacturing (implicit) NIST+11Iteh Standards+11ISO+11.
• IEC 60050‑851 (Electropedia) defines “tool” as “an implement, usually manually controlled, used to perform work” machinerysafety101.com.
• NIST Dictionary of Metrology describes a tool as “a hand‑held or mechanically actuated item used to apply force or precision to a workpiece” (NIST work) — general metrological usage.
• Other references (Shumaker et al. 2011; Jones & Kamil 1973; Hauser 2000; Britannica; Merriam‑Webster; Oxford; Dictionary.com | Meanings & Definitions of English Words ) define a tool as a physical instrument (often hand‑held), used to extend an agent’s ability to modify environment or material.

Primitive Class

This class is declared primitive and it does not have necessary and sufficient condiftions defined.

Primitive Rationale

Many of the core characterizations of production tool (more broadly tool) captured in the trait analysis (see https://oagi.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/IOF/pages/5952208897/Characterization+of+machines+and+tools#Trait-analysis) cannot be formally expressed, especially energy transformation, power, control, motion and mechanical structures.
