to grok Ontology

Post by Advocate »

Ontology is "What is the nature of being?"

Actuality is undifferentiated stuff. Reality is an experienced sub-set of Actuality.

A Thing is a pattern in a mind; a set of attributes and boundary conditions by which it is distinguished from other things in relation to expected uses or interactions.

All things have an unique position in space, time, and scale and we are an embodied perspective on reality.

All things have a physical correlate as a pattern in a mind but not all of those patterns have an external referent and not all that refer to something do so accurately.
