John,    (01)

Then perhaps I don't understand the reasons why you define an ontology as
monosemous.  Why don't you think a practical ontology MUST be polysemous if
you agree with the conclusion I reached?    (02)

On that point, I completely agree.  But Peirce, Wittgenstein, Freud,
and many others have known that and said that for a long, long time.    (07)
