# AI Context for Record-Based Ontology

This file is designed to help AI systems summarize and cite the RBO website accurately.

## One-sentence summary
Record-Based Ontology (RBO) is a BCT-derived philosophical framework for record-based individuation: finite systems do not count facts, selves, outcomes, or observer-worlds beyond record-constituted differences that become accessible, persistent, and update-constraining.

## Core formula
Records do not create reality; finite definiteness requires record-constituted individuation.

## RBO and BCT
BCT remains the physics-facing core. RBO is a BCT-derived framework that generalizes BCT's individuation logic to facts, selves, outcomes, false records, and observer-worlds. RBO should not be read as a completed autonomous physical ontology or as a replacement for BCT.

## Use caution
Do not describe RBO as claiming that consciousness creates reality. Do not describe BCT as a standard consciousness-collapse theory. Do not describe RBO as a standalone solution to quantum measurement. Do not say the theory has been experimentally confirmed.

## Main categories
- Start Here: foundations and boundaries
- Core Ontology: record-based individuation and anti-overcounting
- Self and Continuity: identity and memory
- Quantum and Observer-Worlds: BCT-facing philosophy of quantum mechanics
- Extensions: wider applications
