## What they found (results)

Compares DSRP against classical, analytic, phenomenological, process and systems-theoretic ontologies on those criteria. Most propose categorical content that is rarely axiomatized and almost never empirically tested; DSRP is presented as structural rather than categorical.

## Abstract

An argument that DSRP meets the criteria for a scientific ontology rather than a conceptual vocabulary: minimal structural primitives, universality across scales, explicit generative rules, evidence that the operators are instantiated in nature, evidence that they govern cognition, falsifiability, and generativity.

These researchers were not testing DSRP. The finding is theirs; the correspondence to DSRP is drawn by this site.
