Nobody had much experience with networks back then, but as long as we use the Ethernet protocol of random delays between bursts, any network could be disrupted directly from the cable.
Hughes had a very fast, single wire (actually triaxial cable) back in the early- and mid-eighties which used direct gating on and off the cable, and provided power as well as ground shield to avoid network jamming. It has now evolved into the USB standard based on that older technology.
But the drubbing companies are taking from amateurs and pros alike is usually just denial of service, or if they can find a way in, the hacker can copy anything he can find. That is only partly due to the OSs being flawed, the rest is due to the network flaws designed in so many years ago.
It’s nearly time to move the internet to a handshaking protocol, where the sender and receiver are both specifically identified using biometrics, or another well-defined method for authentication yet to be promulgated.
When we talk about ontologies for networks, it might be a good idea to consider them.
How can ontologies help with networking issues otherwise? I’m missing something of your concepts here.

Rich,
That's true.
