To coordinate requires a shared ontology.

  • To coordinate requires a shared ontology. It doesn't have to be precise, but it does have to have some significant operational overlap.
    • In the past ontologies had to be mechanistic in order to be able to integrate, which was extraordinarily challenging, and had the logarithmic-benefit-for-exponential-cost curve shape.
    • LLMs translate fuzzily across ontologies[xs] non mechanistically, which allows a fractal blossoming of ontologies that can still interoperate in a more squishy way.
