Core categories from Wikidata (generated, 2026-10-01)

Gist. Categories for nouns that actually occur in our tales (42 Gutenberg books) and problems (SVAMP, GSM8K): animal, plant, food, fruit, tool, weapon, vehicle, building, clothing, furniture, body part, human, occupation, container, musical instrument, toy, measure, money, liquid, metal, gemstone, colour, mythical creature, celestial body.

Conditions and exceptions. A word's meaning is the best-known Wikidata entity with that English label (≥ 5 Wikipedias), without context: homonyms go wrong ("boxer" → dog breed, "godfather" → cocktail). Gate priorities against Wikidata noise: a human is not an "animal"; a fruit is not a "body part"; something concrete is not a generic "tool"; an animal or plant is not a "colour" or a "liquid". Categories (category) explain steps but start no consequence chains.
