Ontonic derieved from Onto (Greek for being) - extrapolated to Onton (implying a fundamental unit/building block of beingness). And Meso (meaning middle) + Onto is simply a level between fundmental beingness and Anthropic beingness.
I think Greek gets used because there is less risk of overloading the terminology than English. I have tried to keep it less arcane by using commonly understood word roots and simple descriptions.
Thank you for the pointers Mitchell. I will analyze them and either update the model or explain the contrasts. I will still be focusing on ‘beingness’ (in sense of actor, agency and behavior) and keep the model clear of concepts that talk about consciousness, sentience, cognition and biology.
The intent of this visual is not towards an academically correct typology/classification itself. I was working on an evaluation of consistent self-boundary behavior (yet to publish) and on a method to improve it. I need to pin it to a mental model of the ambient space, so ended up aggregating this visual.
Felt it might be generally useful as a high level tool for understanding this dimension of alignment/evaluation.
Yes, these two are new.
