Re: [ontolog-forum] EU FP Ontology projectsDuane

I agree that there are many different contexts
which may apply to the same reality.  

There may be N different contexts corresponding to
the ways that N different people view the same reality.

Further, one person may have M different contexts 
which correspond to M different purposes.

My definition of a proposition is context + sentence.
A person creates a proposition by choosing a context,
then a sentence.

This may cause a communication problem 
if a second person does not know, or chooses to ignore,
the context of the person who created the proposition.

It's not "isu" and "iss" that are changing,
It's the context/hierarchy that is changing.
There are N times M contexts/hierarchies
for the single reality that you are thinking about.

  I am not sure I think of it that way, although it interests me.  IMO, context in a n..*-dimensional matrix whereby intersecting context details may or may not be visible to each aspect of a preposition.  For example, one person, in a certain context, may deem me Duane Nickull even if I am dead where to others such would be false.  

  As such, ontological research must IMO embrace this dichotomy with more of a quantum computing approach than the limited binary vision of the world.  "Isu: seems  based on simplistic predicate calculus.  I can both be and not be Duane Nickull to two different observers.  Likewise I may be Duane Nickull to both or them or neither of them.  If I am dead, the government may no longer consider me to exist as Duane Nickull whereby my family may eternally believe I exist in spirit.

  Not to disagree, but I think the complete aspect of context is much more complex than can be represented in a hierarchy.

    I have defined "context" to be a list of propositions.
    But the propositions may refer to the hierarchy.

    Here is a list of propositions

       Dick McCullough isu person;
        Duane Nickull isu person;
        person iss entity;

    which is the same as this hierarchy

       begin hierarchy people;

      Richard:

      Do you see "Context" strictly as a  hierarchic node?  I see it more of an omnipotent concept covering all  other concepts.  Would not a relation and action have contextual impact  on the actual pragmatics?

        is my preferred hierarchy.
         
        But the mKR/mKE  system can dynamically 
        transform tabula rasa into another  hierarchy
        by concept integration and differentiation,
        or it can use  your favorite hierarchy instead.
