Towards Ontology Evolution in Physics [PDF]
, 2008 We investigate the problem of automatically repairing inconsistent ontologies. A repair is triggered when a contradiction is detected between the current theory and new experimental evidence. We are working in the domain of physics because it has good historical records of such contradictions and how they were resolved.

A Realistic and Non Reductionist Strategyb with respect to Properties
Philosophia Scientiæ, 2008 Is it possible and necessary to admit of non-physical properties? A minimal ontology accepts only the reality of physical properties. It is based on a restrictive existential criterion, namely the causal criterion.

On the ontological ambiguity of physics facing reality
Astronomische Nachrichten, 2023 AbstractWe discuss in this work, the contradictory position in modern Physics between the existence of a microphysical quantum reality and macrophysical classical one. After discussing some basic concepts in Philosophy, we revisit the situation of Quantum Mechanics results, particularly after the confirmation of violations of Bell's theorem, and its ...

An Ontology-Based Approach to Aid STPA Analysis
IEEE Access, 2023 The safety-critical systems we are building today employ software, use physical and cybernetic components, and have more interactions (including hierarchical controllers). Systems-Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA) is a hazard analysis method that is used
