Cognomy - an ontology and model of computation

Cognomy Project Wiki Bug Database github	A new model of computation Everything is an object that encapsulates its state as a set of properties A property has a type and a value Property types are organized in a taxonomy Objects can enter into relationships with other objects, including containers that act as their environment Relationships act as conduits allowing certain property values to be exchanged between the related objects The specific subset of properties that are exchanged depend on the type of the relationship Computations are purely local and are triggered solely in response to exposure to new property values Objects have no public methods per se Changes to one subset of an object's properties may trigger changes to another subset of properties These new state changes may flow across other relationships to affect the state of other objects State changes may also cause the establishment of new relationships or the destruction of existing ones A program consists of an initial condition and an end condition The initial condition is a configuration of inter-related objects, each with an initial state A new ontology The ontology will comprise taxonomies for objects, properties and relationships The ontology will be initially taken from a combination of WordNet, the Levin verb classifications, and other canonical sources The ontology will be extended via natural language processing of wikipedia.
