I intentionally made a biconditional statement:

a single global ontology (O) if and only if powerful intelligent systems (I).

Or, O implies I as much as I implies O. Either both true or both are false.

 

The stated rule ''O iff I'' can be validated by empirical proving ''if O, then I'' and ''if I, then O''.

 

What we need to prove the hypothesis is to build the Intelligent Web or the Universal Formal Ontology, any of which  at the same time both cause and consequence.
