本体论中立性定理:为什么中立的本体论基础必须是前因果和前规范的

📄 中文摘要

本研究探讨了现代数据系统中本体论设计的关键约束。研究表明,任何旨在作为共享基础的本体论必须在持续存在的法律、政治和分析分歧中保持可问责性。文章提出了本体论中立性的不可能性结果:如果将中立性理解为解释性的非承诺以及在不相容扩展下的稳定性,那么它与在基础层包含因果或规范承诺是不相容的。这意味着,任何将因果或义务性结论作为本体论事实的系统,都无法在不同的解释框架中作为中立基础而不产生修正或矛盾。因此,中立的本体论基础必须是前因果和前规范的,仅表示实体及其同一性和持续性条件,而将解释、评估和说明外部化。这项研究为设计能够在冲突的解释框架中维持共享、稳定的现实表征的系统提供了必要的设计约束。

The Ontological Neutrality Theorem: Why Neutral Ontological Substrates Must Be Pre-Causal and Pre-Normative

This research investigates the critical constraints on ontological design in modern data systems. The study demonstrates that any ontology intended to serve as a shared foundation must maintain accountability across persistent legal, political, and analytic disagreements. The paper presents an impossibility result for ontological neutrality: neutrality, understood as interpretive non-commitment and stability under incompatible extensions, is incompatible with the inclusion of causal or normative commitments at the foundational layer. This means that any system that asserts causal or deontic conclusions as ontological facts cannot function as a neutral substrate across divergent interpretive frameworks without requiring revision or leading to contradiction. Consequently, neutral ontological substrates must be pre-causal and pre-normative, representing only entities and their identity and persistence conditions while externalizing interpretation, evaluation, and explanation. This research establishes the necessary design constraints for systems intended to maintain a shared, stable representation of reality across conflicting interpretive frameworks.
