Ontology as System

I would recommend reading any research done by this group, but this article especially regarding "autopoesis" and "ontogeny"...

Good quote:

"A reliable way to get the attention of others is to produce information that meets the input conditions of their domain-specific competencies."

-Dan Sperber and Lawrence Hirschfeld

Also, I think one of the most interesting challenges out there might be, how many different subjects can you write only one paper about, with the least amount of words as possible, while it still remaining relevant and valuable to each subject individually?

This is great business advice. This facilitates cross-domain understanding. People that can be flexible and map their communications to different interpretent's expectations have less barriers between what they intend and what the interpretent understands. An example is the doctor and his patient. A doctor communicates the diagnosis in scientific terms that is understood by the medical staff. However, the doctor communicates to the patient in "layman's terms".
