Deep Dive: Ontology

Five layers of existential hierarchy

Not all things exist the same way. Substances, properties, relations, events, abstractions — Jachin's ontological engine distinguishes them all, because reasoning that conflates existence categories produces hallucinations.

Layers

Existence is not flat

Substances

Primary beings that exist independently. A student, a hospital, a text. The anchors of all predication and reasoning.

Properties & Relations

What things are like and how they connect. Dependent on substances — cannot exist alone. The predicative layer of intelligence.

Events & Abstractions

Processes that unfold in time and structures that exist outside it. The dynamic and formal layers where reasoning about change and universals operates.
