چکیده
Abstract Fick’s diffusion equation represents physical reality that has been interpreted by Einstein and Smoluchowski. In this way, the question of interpretation is answered in affirmative. It gives rise to a new critical for understanding our world: how broad spectrum could principle give complete account. The answer work based on elegant mathematical foundations formulated three decades before Fick French mathematician Augustin Cauchy (~ 1822). will be shown consequence his model ideal elastic continuum. Namely, product classical energy momentum balance equations their solutions. This demonstrates ontological construal theory exists. Explicitly, both, flux constative formulae exist. two terms equations, driving forces defined potential gradients kinetic coefficients front forces, are derived paper. Some fundamental consequences all relations physics, chemistry prospects presented. presented here provides evidence common roots physics.

An Ontological Basis for Design Methods
This paper presents a view of design methods as process artefacts that can be represented using the function-behaviour-structure (FBS) ontology. This view allows identifying five fundamental approaches to methods: black-box, procedural, artefact-centric, formal and managerial approaches. They all describe method structure but emphasise different aspects of it. Capturing these differences addres...
متن کاملAn Ontological Representation for the Transtheoretical Theory
Ontologies are widely used in computer science and medicine. Ontologies may be useful in health promotion and disease prevention for intervention development. Interventionists usually use theory to guide intervention design and evaluation, but there is no standard vocabulary for health behavior theory. A formal mechanism for converting theory to a computer-based representation may provide a too...
متن کاملOntological Basis for Agent ADL
Abstract. Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) architectures are gaining popularity over traditional ones for building open, distributed or evolving software. To formally define system architecture and reasoning about it, numerous architecture description languages (ADLs) have been proposed during the last decade. However, few research efforts aim at truly defining a description language for MAS architect...
متن کاملTowards an Ontological Theory of Physical Objects
We present a logical theory based on a fundamental distinction between objects and their substrates, i.e. chunks of matter and regions of space, whose purpose is to establish the basis of a general ontology of space, matter and physical objects for the domain of mechanical artifacts. An extensional mereological framework is assumed for substrates, while physical objects are allowed to change th...
