Summary0005609: Support modeling unknowns: 'gap' concept or container shape
Description

When modeling, there is currently no concept that represents what we do not yet know. A modeler often needs to sketch a silhouette of a missing piece and show how it connects to known facts.

Proposed enhancement:

  • Add support for an Object/Fact Type carrying a 'gap' element concept (e.g. otft[concept] with elm concept 'gap'), so the modeler can mark an OTFT as representing an unknown.
  • Alternatively, introduce a dedicated container shape with curved/sketchy outlines that surrounds connected OTFTs and visually signals the gap.

This would allow modelers to communicate uncertainty and incomplete knowledge directly inside the diagram instead of working around it.

Implementation note: the upcoming resource iconpack will introduce a 'puzzle.png' icon. That icon needs to be injected into the ELM (element) icon set so it can be selected as the element concept for an OTFT representing a gap/unknown.

Resolved by adding the 'puzzle' icon to the ELM (element concept) icon set. An OTFT can now be marked as a gap by selecting the puzzle element concept.

Out of scope for this ticket: containers and concepts cannot yet be annotated as 'still needs work / unresolved'. That broader annotation mechanism is not part of this resolution.
