Matrix · computational social ontology · link 1–2 of 5

The grammar of how societies register who belongs.

Ontology 360 is the research matrix of the Computational Ontology project: being and knowing, the register as the operator of identity and belonging, the four social domains, the constitution as the register of registers. Home of the book La Constitución en la era digital and of its open companion data.

You come as…

Four routes, one corpus.

The same pages in a different order. Pick the reading that matches why you are here; nothing is duplicated.

Evaluatordeposited objects, maturity, method
  1. Research objects with DOIs — what exists, on which open road (one-page PDF).
  2. The book's state — draft, intended for Herder, not submitted; chapter map.
  3. Method and governance — two layers, α policy, seven checks.
Colleaguethe grammar and its operators
  1. The matrix — being / knowing / register × four domains.
  2. Eight operators — what each author does in the chain.
  3. The companion — fused record, schemas, matrix.
Institutionrules, firewall, reuse
  1. The interpretive firewall — no technique produces a norm.
  2. The two-tier rule — exploratory vs canonical.
  3. Licences and identifiers — CC BY, CCP-compatible ids.
Curiousthe ring and one story
  1. The ring — five links, one circle.
  2. One claim, followed back — a sample trace.
  3. The book — what it argues and why now.

The route

Five links, three sites, one direction.

Nothing here is asserted from a single discipline. Every important claim travels the whole chain, and every page tells you which link you are standing on. This site covers the first two; the project and the platform take it further.

The ring

The fifth link closes on the first.

The norm returns to the circumstance it must answer to — that is the 360. Hover a link to see it; open it to meet the operator that does the work there.

What each neighbour gains

1CircumstanceFor the jurist: the circumstance is what no amendment can reach — natality, plurality, mortality — so a constitution is judged by what it does with an in-emendable ground, not by its text alone.
2RegisterFor the data scientist: a register is not a proxy for belonging; it is belonging as a social object. Coding a constitution is coding an inscribed act, which is why every unit carries its span and its coder.
3Domains · dominationFor the social theorist: domination becomes measurable once it is defined as control of who is inscribed and who controls the inscription — one register per domain, four domains, no fifth.
4Constitutional architectureFor the comparativist: the Comparative Constitutions Project turns the meta-register into a corpus with stable ids, so the same reading can be repeated by someone who disagrees with the author.
5ConsequenceFor everyone: the last link is never computed. What ought to follow for plural democracy is written by a person, signed, and marked as such.

Traceability

Three kinds of statement, always marked.

The reader never has to guess which is which.

Datum

Amendable knowledge

A coded unit with a source span, a coder, a codebook version and an agreement level. It can be wrong, and it says how it could be shown wrong.

Interpretation

A human reading, logged

What a code means for the chain, written as one sentence and attached to the unit as an event — with its reason and its author.

Normative

The author's bet

What ought to follow. Never produced by a frequency, a model or a simulation; always signed.

Follow claim C-11.4 to its units — T-MEX-1917-027-a · -b · T-MEX-1992-027-a

In Mexico the economic register of belonging was re-inscribed in 1992 by moving control of the inscription from the community to the individual — a substantive change under the re-inscription rule, not a formal amendment.

Each id opens the unit's fused record: mapping, revisions as events, audit trail. Illustrative values until the companion's first release.

The book

La Constitución en la era digital

Manuscript in draft, intended for Herder (Ópera Académica), not yet submitted. A social ontology of belonging: how the digital re-inscribes the four registers, and what remains of plural constitutionalism when the dominant type is the mobilised animal laborans.

Guiding question
How does each ideology treat the register?
Who counts · what counts as a valid document · who controls the inscription · cooperation or domination · what is naturalised.
