Topic :> Dynamics Of Ontologies 1

o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o

In the real world, ontologies change over time.
This can happen in many different ways and for
many different reasons, or the absence thereof,
but we are especially concerned with the types
of change that occur with real cause, and thus
that happen for good reason.  A proper account
of motivated changes in ontologies requires us
to say something about the purpose of ontology
as a general resource of intelligent creatures,
so let's turn our attention next to that topic.
