The Ontology of Text

The ontology of text refers to the study of the nature, structure, and being of text, focusing on what text is at its most fundamental level. This exploration can span several philosophical and theoretical perspectives, often addressing questions about the existence, identity, and categorization of text as an entity. Here’s a breakdown of key aspects:

1. Text as an Ontological Entity:

Material vs. Abstract: Text can be considered both as a material object (e.g., a book or a written document) and as an abstract entity (e.g., the content or meaning conveyed by the text). The ontology of text thus involves understanding how these two aspects coexist and relate to each other.

Text as a Work vs. Text as a Document: The distinction between a text as a work (the conceptual or intellectual creation) and as a document (the physical or digital manifestation) is crucial in ontology. For instance, different editions of a book may be considered different documents but the same work.

2. Identity and Persistence:

Sameness and Variation: The ontology of text deals with the question of what makes a text the same across different instances or versions. What remains consistent between different editions or translations of a text? How much can a text change before it is considered a different text?

Temporal Aspects: How does the identity of a text persist over time? This includes considerations of how historical context, authorial intent, and reader interpretation might affect the identity of a text.

3. Structure of Text:

Hierarchical vs. Network Structures: Text can be seen as having a hierarchical structure (e.g., chapters, paragraphs, sentences) or a network-like structure (e.g., hypertext or intertextuality). The ontology of text examines how these structures are constituted and how they affect the nature of text.

Units of Text: What are the basic units of text? Words, sentences, paragraphs, or perhaps even smaller or larger units? The ontological inquiry involves defining and categorizing these units.

4. Function and Intent:

Authorial Intent: The role of the author's intention in the ontology of text is a major consideration. Is the meaning of a text tied to what the author intended, or does it exist independently?

Reader Interpretation: The ontology of text also considers the role of the reader or audience in constituting the text. Is the meaning of a text something inherent, or is it something that comes into being through interpretation?

5. Intertextuality and Contextuality:

Intertextual Relations: Texts often reference or build upon other texts. The ontology of text considers how texts are related to one another and how these relationships affect their existence and identity.

Contextual Dependency: The meaning and existence of a text can be dependent on its context, including cultural, historical, and situational factors. The ontology of text examines how context shapes what a text is.

6. Digital and Hypertext Ontology:

Digital Texts: The advent of digital texts introduces new ontological questions. How do digital formats affect the nature of text? How does hypertext, with its non-linear structure, change our understanding of text?

Versioning and Fluidity: Digital texts can be easily modified, leading to questions about the stability and identity of texts in a digital environment. What does it mean for a text to have a version, and how does this affect its ontology?

7. Philosophical Perspectives:

Structuralism and Post-Structuralism: These schools of thought provide frameworks for understanding the ontology of text, focusing on the underlying structures of language (structuralism) and the fluidity and instability of meaning (post-structuralism).

Phenomenology: This approach might consider the experience of the text, focusing on how it appears to consciousness and the role of the reader in bringing the text to life.

The ontology of text is a rich and complex field that intersects with many areas of philosophy, literary theory, linguistics, and digital humanities. It seeks to answer fundamental questions about what text is, how it exists, how it maintains identity, and how it relates to both its material form and its interpretation by readers.

a survey found on eric’s computer

this survey was found on eric’s computer when it was searched post-massacre. it’s unknown where the survey was originally from, but chain letters/surveys like this were quite common on 90’s and early 00’s internet

i need people to stop talking about the anti trans executive order like its a philosophical debate and like the series of legal proposals that it is. going 'well we still believe in the gender spectrum' is not helpful rn this is about id markers and prisons which are real things we need help with not mindsets.

Abby is shown interacting with the other kids more at the end of the movie so it’s possible that she could meet Gregory later on in the second or third movie!!

man I hope so but I also think Gregory being a special case related to getting in trouble with authorities would fit and it would be a good lead up to meeting Vanessa (a cop, but I wouldn't be suprised if she quits her job since theres a good chance it was a cover up for william).

imagine vanessa is getting back on her feet but still heavily traumatized from what happened at freddys but also just her life leading up to this point and shes still struggling. shes still a cop to bring in more money for herself and the schmidt's until she can find a new job and after being called to the station to deal with a delinquent kid she for some reason has to transport him somewhere, or shes called to the scene to be the one to take him to the station.

queue something plot related happening where they're interrupted and vanessa has to get to freddys or the schmidt's or something right away and has to take Gregory with her. then more plot stuff happens and Gregory is stuck with them but just trying to help and survive

vanessa feels so guilty because he was under her watch and also not involved and now hes in danger. so from that guilt plus the guilt of all of the others she turned a blind eye to or covered up or couldnt save she tries her hardest to protect him

queue found family with the two sibling duos. vanessa said something along the lines of "you have abby and that's more than I can say" so imagine if she could say she has Gregory! maybe later its revealed that Gregory is a homeless orphan kid so shes able to actually take him in. they would bond enough over the course of the movies events plus probably some sort of moment where she blurts out her true intentions and why shes trying so hard and that makes them closer.

🔥 wikis

ive voiced a take adjacent to this in the past but: i really wish there were fan wikis that were more willing to engage with fanworks, especially notable ones. the closest thing im aware of is the smash wiki having articles for PM/P+ characters, and a few wikis having a single "List of Notable Fanworks" page. outside of that it's just stuff called like "Gaming Fanon Wiki" where all the articles are like theorycrafted smash rosters. it's a bit frustrating that eg the majority of (official) mario games are meticulously recorded & curated in wiki form but that kind of documentation doesnt exist for paper mario master quest, neo mario galaxy, dark star edition, pmex remix, sm64ex, etc

Anyone who is like "why do engineers need to take English classes? You don't have to write papers" should look at the 4,000 word comment letter I've written, not to mention the 10k + reports, or the 52,000 word documentation of processes at my last job.

Pandemonium from Roblox Pressure was terrorizing my dream last night yay!! (It was pretty scary actually-) What was interesting is that it was just a big floating mouth/head like in the game. But it might be cool to see my physical design I'm trying to cook up for Pande in a dream :O
