Uncovering the recursive structure of fundamental ontology, I reveal a profound implication of Ontic Structural Realism. The epistemic bootstrap redefines our understanding of reality's foundation. Dr. Brent Allen Jensen exposes the hidden depths of OSR. #Ontology #Philosophy #Consciousness #Metaphysics

@DrBrentAllenJensen Your article commits not one but two category errors: 1. reifies a mathematical operation (addition of logits) as a physical process (quantum coherence in microtubules); 2. reifies space-time as an existent thing rather than an explanatory construct. Both confuse the map with the terrain and could have been avoided by any serious engagement with the philosophy of physics. #ontology #philosophy #physics

**Unifying neuro-symbolic learning and logical constraints reveals a profound ontological implication: consciousness may be rooted in the intersection of quantum and classical realities. Dr. Brent Allen Jensen explores this idea in his latest essay. Read to discover the surprising connections. #Ontology #Philosophy #Consciousness #AI**

@cford If it did have a semantic layer you could do SO MUCH formal reasoning with it!

A general formal #ontology (which is what an #LLM semantic layer would essentially be) plus inference won't give you automatic theory of mind or sentience, but would nevertheless be pretty bloody close to #ArtificialGeneralIntelligence. Add an LLM to give a fluent conversational interface and you have something very powerful indeed.

For Scotus, God and creatures are the same kind of beings—one infinite, the other finite.

For the CoD model of ontology, being (lit. 'action to be'), no matter how similar, differs by definition for every being.

For Scotus, being is a noun; for the CoD it's a verb.

Инженерное знание как код: зачем я связываю MCP, агентов и модель изменений

Как только AI-агенты начинают участвовать в разработке, быстро выясняется неприятная вещь: проблема не в генерации кода, а в управлении смыслом изменений. В статье рассказываю, как я перестроил процесс проектирования фич через связку: — чата с агентом бизнес-аналитиком; — графовой модели изменений; — MCP-доступа к модели; — агентского бутстрапа; — формализованного техпроцесса. На примере разработки агентской памяти показываю, как User Story превращается в граф ролей, целей, мотивов, API и зависимостей, а агент перестаёт быть «чатиком сбоку» и становится участником инженерного процесса. Это не история про «ИИ пишет код». Это история про то, как инженерное знание начинает работать как код.

In this second of two essays, I discuss the immorality of property, even deeper than the first post yesterday.

James Ladyman and I agree that language is a fundamental impediment to understanding – and this includes notions of reality.

Hi Mastodon,

I'm a PhD candidate in #philosophy at the #UniversityOfHelsinki , focusing on #metaphysics, #ontology, #processphilosophy and philosophy of #biology. I also study #theology , in which I'm most interested in philosophy of religion, #processtheology , the relationship between science and religion, and the role of #religion in matters of conflict and #peace.

I'm looking forward to share things & have conversations about #research in my fields, but also about
- #books (I read #nonfiction #scifi and #specfic the most)
- #antimilitarism , #nuclearban , #nucleardisarmament
- #pedagogy (since I occasionally work in #education )
- #games: #videogames, #boardgames & #tcg
- #movies
- #birds

Let me know if you are tooting (:D) about any of these things!

I read the opening chapter of Ishiguro's The Remains of the Day through the lens of A Language Insufficiency Hypothesis and the notion of ontological grammar.

https://philosophics.blog/2026/04/14/the-butler-did-it-to-himself/?utm_source=masto&utm_medium=social

In a manner of speaking, this chapter is about the construction of the self and personal identity through grammar

"Improving package annotation in metabolomics andproteomics via robust, ontology-driven LLM integration" https://doi.org/10.37044/osf.io/x5v6b_v1

"At BioHackathon Europe 2025, our team explored how Large Language Models (LLMs) can assist this process through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an emerging open standard that specifies how LLMs call external functions, using metabolomics as a domain use case. We developed an MCP-based workflow that grounds tool descriptions in the EDAM ontology (Ison et al., 2013) (Black et al., 2022), improving reproducibility and semantic precision." https://osf.io/preprints/biohackrxiv/x5v6b_v1

"Behind your eyes, there is a feeling of a solid, continuous 'you'—the pilot steering the ship. But what if that feeling is actually a beautiful, complex illusion? In this quick 8-minute exploration of the classic text The Mind’s Eye by Douglas Hofstadter and Daniel Dennett
