Re: knowledge misrepresentation and category theory

You are getting yourself onto hot and turbulent waters by putting the blame and faults with category theory. The problem resides with the notion of what constitutes knowledge. Omissions, distortions and misrepresentations cannot be blamed on category theory. I left out category theory in all but the SDGs objectives, where ontology alignment and frameworks for dealing with indicators will use category theory.
I am working on a set of related papers inspired by seemingly unrelated applications of category theory in cognitive science studies of the brain, ontology alignment, the notion of perception and the philosophical debate about concepts, cognitive and conceptual structures,the mathematical underpinnings of grand unified theories and theories of everything, and mathematics to reconcile the Godel Skolem theorems, string theory and quantum reality.
Again, category theory stresses consistency, and shows us systems for comparison of well thought and proven knowledge representation frameworks, not with the creation of those frameworks.
Therefore IMHO the points you bring up are at the level of nuts and bolts construction of KR systems itself.

 I ll soon be sharing a paper where I mention various errors and flaws caused by poor knowledge mis- representation,in brief -1. omissions (where the knowledge is not represented)2. distortions (where the knowledge is twisted to represent something not intended)3. miscategorization (this problem is one of the challenges of category theory, not particularly well researched afaik)
I wonder if KR can help address the miscategorization problem
