Role in the RBO project
This item belongs to the Core Ontology section of the RBO website. It should be read according to its status label: Programmatic note.
RBO is a BCT-derived philosophical framework for individuation. This item contributes to the project’s account of finite systems, stable traces/records, individuation, continuity, correction, and definite outcomes, while BCT remains the physics-facing core where quantum measurement is concerned.
