We are exploring an approach to a "universal upper ontology" that is defined in terms of general principles instead of specific definitions.
Rather than attempt to define objects in a domain-specific list, we want to explore creating a synthesis of fundamental principles from mathematics and semantics -- on the basis of which any domain-specific ontology could be defined.
We are also considering how every concept or term or object in this framework can also be defined using this same method or protocol.
