Social & Conventional

Encodes institutional regulation, social adherence, kinship, and character traits. These microframes involve normative or social-conventional facts: relations that hold by virtue of social practices, institutions, or shared norms rather than by physical necessity. The DUL D&S pattern (Descriptions and Situations) grounds most of these.

fnbr:is_regulated_by
