+Non-committal world view of Grayspread.
+
+This documents represents the foundational ontology of
+[grayspread.net](https://grayspread.net), which may take years before it
+becomes public, so here's a bone.
+
+For the non-technical folks, this document is the human-readable representation
+of a machine-readable vocabulary called an *ontology*, which defines types of
+things ("Classes") and their relationships ("Properties") found in the real
+world. By way of naming things, a world view is defined so that
+machines can learn our world in a multitude of biased ways.
+
+There are many ontologies published on the web, each organizing a generic or
+specific set of knowledge for some purpose. This is one of them, and its
+purpose is to dissect an individual's creative and reasoning threads. It is
+obviously tailored to that one individual, and probably quite useless for any
+other purpose than entertainment."""@en ;

+>“Very simply,” replied the Mayor. “You haven't once up to now come into

+certainly enough to do with the authorities, there's no telephone. In inns and
+such places it may be of real use—as much use, you would say, as a penny in the
+music-box slot—but it's nothing more than that. Have you ever telephoned here?
+Yes?  Well, then perhaps you'll understand what I say. In the Castle the
+telephone works beautifully of course; I've been told it's being used there all
+the time; that naturally speeds up the work a great deal. We can hear this
+continual telephoning in our telephones down here as a humming and singing, you
+must have heard it too. Now, this humming and singing transmitted by our
+telephones is the only real and reliable thing you'll ever hear, everything
+else is deceptive. There's no fixed connection with the Castle, no central
+exchange that transmits our calls farther. When anybody calls up the Castle
+from here, the instruments in all the subordinate departments ring, or rather
+they would all ring if practically all the departments—I know it for a
+certainty—didn't leave their receivers off. Now and then, however, a fatigued
+official may feel the need of a little distraction, especially in the evenings
+and at night, and may hang the receiver up. Then we get an answer, but an
+answer of course that's merely a practical joke.”
