*Three neurodivergent ontologists walk into a restaurant.* 1. *The host asks, “Table for three?”* One says, “Define ‘three’ in mereological terms.” Another says, “I prefer a booth—it’s less overstimulating.” The third is already reorganizing the menu into a taxonomic hierarchy. 2. *The waiter asks, “Can I get you something to drink?”* One says, “Is the concept of ‘drink’ a rigid designator or a cluster concept?” Another says, “I’ll have water, but only if it’s categorically distinct from all non-water entities.” The third says, “Do you have a sensory-friendly beverage ontology?” 3. *They sit down and immediately start debating whether the restaurant itself is an object or a process.* 4. *After an hour, they haven’t ordered anything, but they’ve developed a new upper ontology to classify every dish.*
