Denise,
This is your assumption, not mine, i believe, to start your argument. Let me
repeat what i wrote to you: (02)
''A global ontology has nothing to do with a single world view forcefully
imposed on you free mind, but rather a comprehensive and consistent
representation of dynamic, ever changing reality, integrating, aligning, all
valuable views, paradigms, models, theories, as well the particular
ontologies.''
Let listen to each other. Otherwise, as Kathryn says: we ''can yell at each
other till the cows come home, and there will be no way to tell who is
right.'' (03)
Best wishes,
Azamat (04)
