Agree, the debate moved on and I proposed an ontology in OWL-DL based on
Pierce's "On a New List of Categories." (02)
Ironic that much of Pierce's published work appeared in "The Monist."
I've made some revisions since the first time it was proposed and look
forward to any comments. You can find that ontology here: (03)
http://www.rickmurphy.org/categories.owl (04)
Also as a reminder, the ontology itself has been offered as open
knowledge, meaning other folks can contribute as it is a work in progress. (05)
BTW - I will be attending Tucson VIII (aka. "Towards A Science of
Consciousness") this year. If anyone else is going, you'll find me
tracing the footsteps of Carlos Casteneda and Don Juan Matos ;-) (06)
