Thank you for this feedback. I had a thought strike me whilst reading.
Please forgive the naive nature of this question. (02)
Is it true that a formal ontology is a circular reference pattern,
albeit a very indirect, complicated and very large one? Does any
definition assume the knowledge of other axioms in a model, that
themselves may be dependent upon the definition one is trying to clarify? (03)
This is probably a newbie question answered in Ontology 101. (04)
