Re: facts of reality, context, possible worlds

I think that Kant & particle physicists could use KR to express their view of reality.

You are correct in observing that I share Ayn Rand's view of reality.  
I use her definitions of unit (individual) and concept (class).  
I developed my own definitions of actions and propositions and context.
I designed the hierarchy/lattice structures to support knowledge representation & logic.
I integrated the UNIX shell concepts of variables, methods & control structures into KR.

  I prefer the idea of giving Kant, particle physicists, yourself and Ayn Rand
  the tools they need to express their differing opinions about reality and
  then let them battle it out rather than creating a tool out of a single view
  of reality.
