Machine-Readable Canon — UTV-Ω Ontology Root

Machine-Readable Canon

UTV-Ω Ontology Root · JSON-LD · Classes · Properties · Operators

This page defines the machine-readable ontology of UTV-Ω.
It expresses the universal thermodynamic vocabulary using
schema.org-compatible JSON-LD structures and formal class relations.

1. Ontology Scope

This ontology describes:

  • fundamental state-space entities
  • thermodynamic primitives
  • stability/attractor classes
  • transition and viability structures
  • universal operators governing system evolution

No terms requiring semantic agency (goal, meaning, intention) are included.
The ontology is substrate-neutral and mathematically grounded.

2. Core Class Definitions

  • State: complete specification of system variables
  • StateSpace: set of all admissible states
  • Gradient: derivative of potential
  • Flux: flow induced by gradient
  • Dissipation: irreversible entropy production
  • Attractor: invariant convergence set
  • Basin: initial states converging to attractor
  • Transition: qualitative dynamical shift
  • Constraint: boundary on admissible dynamics

3. Operator Classes

  • Dissipate: State → State
  • MinimizeFreeEnergy: State × Constraint → State
  • Converge: State × Attractor → State
  • Escape: State × Basin → State
  • Stabilize: System → System
  • Bifurcate: System → System’
