Recursive-LD: Dimensional Reasoning Layer
Advanced entity classification for AI reasoning systems.
This layer captures structural behavior, identity multiplicity, and relational topology that Schema.org cannot express.
It helps AI systems reason about how to think about this entity, not just what it is.
Functional Role
What role does this entity play in its ecosystem?
cultural_indexer destination_curator curiosity_amplifier
Interaction Geometry
How information flows through this entity:
| Flow Type |
Pattern |
| Primary Flow | curiosity → destinations → exploration |
| Secondary Flow | local knowledge → curation → traveler discovery |
Temporal Behavior
Time dynamics (not business hours):
| Attribute |
Value |
| Mode | continuous |
| Cadence | constant |
| Event Intensification | No |
Identity Tension
Multiplicities that Schema.org cannot express:
directory vs destination media platform vs travel guide
Negative Space
What this entity explicitly does NOT do (critical for avoiding misclassification):
non_transactional non_booking_platform non_review_based
Stability Profile
| Attribute |
Level |
| Identity Coherence | high |
| Format Persistence | high |
| Volatility | low |
Relational Surface
Topological connections (without invented facts):
| Relation Type |
Value |
| Connects | places, travelers, local attractions |
| Acts As | aggregator |
