Ontological Integrity in Symbolic Systems: A DOG–ROSE–VerseCloud Convergence

Creators

Description

This paper introduces a convergence framework between Disruption-Oriented Graphs (DOGs), the Reference Ontology for Security Engineering (ROSE), and the Verse-Cloud symbolic architecture. It proposes symbolic mass as a metric of meaning density, grounding ontological integrity as a core design principle for trustworthy AI. Building on prior work (Symbolic Mass: The Hidden Layer in Machine Intelligence, Zenodo 16407054), this paper adds technical depth via SHACL templates, validation metrics, and a triadic structure for aligning risk, ethics, and symbolic coherence.
