Notes on ontology
An ontology is a shared list of what a world is willing to name. These notes stay with that list.
Ontology
An ontology can invent a customer by naming one
An ontology is the list of things a world agrees exist. Name a customer and the counter grows a person. Leave the name out and the person is only a mood.
Ontology
An ontology without a verb keeps every room locked
An ontology of nouns cannot move a person to an invoice. In an ontology the verb is the corridor. No verb, no walk.
Ontology
An ontology that cannot doubt will defend a ghost
An ontology that stores only yes and no will defend a stale sentence. A confidence number gives that sentence a way to flinch.
