ConstructOntology
Building a structured conceptual framework
Definition
Mechanism
A primitive for building a structured set of concepts and relationships (an ontology) from raw data or seed axioms. It defines the 'physics' or 'rules' of a domain. This is the primitive itself, not a methodology for applying it. It builds the semantic graph from FirstPrinciples, validating edge coherence via AdversarialSteel and establishing shared context through OntologyHandshake.
Preconditions
- Seed concepts or data available
Postconditions
- Valid ontology object created
Invariants
- Every referenced term is defined.
- No contradictions within the ontology.
- Grounded in FirstPrinciples rather than in borrowed vocabulary.
