Object-oriented ontology

Object-oriented ontology is a way of looking at the world and our relationships with it. It's similar to how a child might look at the world and try to figure out how things are related. It starts with the idea that everything in the world is a unique, distinct entity - like a person, animal, plant, rock, or piece of furniture. These entities have their own individual properties and capabilities, and it's possible to interact with them in certain ways. This means that instead of thinking of the world as a bunch of amorphous objects, we can think of it as a system of interacting entities, which makes it easier to make sense of things.
