Obviousness [gradable]
A Phenomenon is portrayed with respect to the Degree of likelihood that it will be perceived and known, given the (usually implicit) Evidence, Perceiver, and the Circumstances in which it is considered. For several of the LUs, such as visible, audible, etc., the type of the Evidence is fixed by the targets themselves being a perceptual experience.
It's abundantly|deg obvious that we'll need to spend more time on public perception|phe.
Are you certain that the shovel|phe was visible from the door of the apartment|loc?

Core Frame Elements (3)
| Frame element | Definition | Semantic type | Constraint |
|---|---|---|---|
| Attribute |
The gradable aspect of a Phenomenon which concerns how likely it is that the Phenomenon be known. This frame element is incorporated by the lexical units in this frame.
|
— | — |
| Degree |
A modifier expressing the deviation of the Phenomenon from the norm or from the value for another Phenomenon in terms of how likely the Phenomenon would be known.
It is abundantly|deg obvious you have not a clue how the Retro Program works. |
category

| Phenomenon |
The entity or facts that are undeniable given the Evidence.
It is obvious for example that 9/10 is not the same as 1|phe. |

Peripheral Frame Elements (3)
| Frame element | Definition | Semantic type | Constraint |
|---|---|---|---|
| Direction |
This frame element is used for all path-like expressions, except those indicating the location of the perceiver (see above), that describe how the perceiver's attention is directed during the act of perception.

— | — |
| Evidence |
A state-of-affairs that has a bearing on whether the Phenomenon will be perceived or apprehended cognitively. Evidence is often metonymically indicated by the mention of an entity whose existence or whose properties are relevant.
It is usually obvious from the context|evi which meaning is appropriate. Some lexical units such as visible, audible etc. which refer directly to perception in a particular modality incorporate the Evidence frame element. |
— | — |
| Perceiver |
The sentient entity for whom perception or cognition of the Phenomenon is judged to be more or less likely.
It was obvious to Peter|per he had made a wise choice. |

Extra-thematic Frame Elements (5)
| Frame element | Definition | Semantic type | Constraint |
|---|---|---|---|
| Circumstances |
Some specification of the conditions under which the Phenomenon is likely to be known.
|
— | — |
| Group |
The likelihood of a Phenomenon to be observed perceptually or cognitively in a particular Group of comparable background items may be contrasted, implicitly or explicitly, with different groups.
This correlation was obvious in patients classified as acute myeloid leukemia (AML)as well as in the monocytic varieties of ANLL|gro. |
— | — |
| Location_of_protagonist |
The physical location of a Perceiver of the Phenomenon or a metaphorical point-of-view location of a cognizer relative to the Phenomenon.
It is obvious from here|loc that the crux of the climb is the ascent up to the southern peak. |
— | — |
| Particular_iteration |
Expressions marked with this extra-thematic FE modify a non-iterative use of the target, and indicate that it is conceived as embedded within an iterated series of similar events or states. In addition, most expressions of Particular_iteration indicate which instance of the series is being referred to.

| Time |
The Time during which the Phenomenon is obvious
