Re: knowledge misrepresentation and category theory

Hi Milton

You are getting yourself onto hot and turbulent waters by putting the blame

, I am not putting any blame on anything - again your statement is a
distortion (misinterpretation, misrepresentation) of mine.Omissions and
Distortions are problems cause by misrepresentation
However I think (and wrote in my post) that Miscategorization  is a problem
with category theory. Its a known problem and has many causes and
manifestations, I d like to think that better KR can help reduce
miscategorization.

based on my research, the problem resides in knowledge misrepresentation :-)

do you have a list of publications somewhere

yes, because our logical models are incomplete and imperfect, the
appliication of category theory can result in fallacies.I think some
fuzzyness can solve at least in part that

Therefore IMHO the points you bring up are at the level of nuts and bolts

Yes,  I think so.

but in terms of logical consistency, the statement above does not follow
what you said earlier

ADVERB
You use therefore to introduce
<https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/introduce> a logical
<https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/logical_1> result or
conclusion <https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/conclusion>
.
https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/therefore

Your conclusion does not seem to follow your earlier assertions
:-)
