Meta-ontology

Meta-ontology is like a map for understanding how different kinds of knowledge fit together. Think of it like a map that shows how a country is divided up into states, provinces, and cities. Meta-ontology divides knowledge into different kinds of areas, so that we can better understand and organize it. For example, meta-ontology might divide knowledge into mathematics, physics, history, biology, and so on, so that we can more easily navigate the different types of knowledge, and understand how they all relate to each other.
