OntoLog: The Unified Intelligence Paradigm That Experts and Entrepreneurs Can’t Ignore Introduction

Humbled to share #OntoLog —my invention 🙂😉—unifying AI in ways we've never seen before. It’s been a journey of late nights and big dreams. I’d be honored if you’d read my latest

Protégé as a Programming Language: Rethinking Ontology Engineering Beyond the IDE What if Protégé wasn’t just a development environment, but a language in its own right? What if we’ve been overlooking its potential as a…

Protégé = programming for meaning

Not just an editor - a language where:

Classes = types

Reasoners = compilers

Modeling ontologies is coding knowledge.

Word embeddings map words by usage patterns, yet sociologists aim for deeper conceptual meaning-highlighting a tricky gap between language’s surface and culture’s core. Food for thought (not endorsement 😉).

Can LLMs bridge stats with syntax to truly reason—or are we just prompting shadows on the cave wall?
