Scientific Ontology (SO) / 存在境界論: Public Edition v5.0.0

Abstract

Scientific Ontology / 存在境界論 — Public Edition v5.0.0 Scientific Ontology / 存在境界論 is a public conceptual framework for examining boundaries, contact, histories, communication, and return paths across different domains of description. Descartes’s cogito—“I think, therefore I am”—remains an important philosophical foothold. Scientific Ontology shifts the emphasis toward “here”: the place where the one who asks is already inseparably connected with body, history, other people, environments, and language. Events happen at boundaries. Neither simply subjective nor simply objective, but where different modes of description come into contact. Scientific Ontology treats this “here” as a boundary through which contact, difference, interpretation, action, and return pass. It provides a field in which different language games can be compared while preserving their respective conditions of validity, observational scope, claim strength, and limits. The framework does not treat science as evidence for religion, religion as a substitute for science, or literature as factual reporting. Instead, it asks what can genuinely be shared or commensurated, what remains different, where structural comparison ends and metaphor begins, and what remains unknown. v5.0.0 is the opening release of the v5 series. It carries this boundary orientation into language, literature, consent, accounting, institutions, AI, and interfaces. The framework is not presented as complete: implementation, criticism, failure, and residuals must be able to return to it and revise what can still be claimed. This release contains 128 catalog-backed public documents: 28 registered documents and 100 provisionally registered documents. “Provisional” refers to metadata-review status, not to quality, truth, or confidence. Read, search, and traverse the public corpus through the Public Navigator: https://sellecelery.github.io/Scientific-Ontology/navigator/ The v5.0 release includes the DSSI research note and its implementation-boundary analysis. The DSSI application itself is not included.
