In my personal research I investigate Wealth, power, and influence: Issues and solutions.

https://persagen.org/wpi/

I am fundamentally interested in ontology, relationships, and epistemology. I map ontological placement of entities as a foundational mapping of wealth, power, influence etc.

The current version (in pdf form) is 688 pp -- a dated (Nov 2025; 493 pp.) online version can be found online at

https://persagen.org/wpi/docs/wpi-ontology.pdf


Bespoke ontology - older version here (currently - Feb 2026) approaching 650 pages as shown in PDF).

https://persagen.org/wpi/docs/wpi-ontology.pdf


Bespoke, grounded, cross-referenced ontology with focus on

* wealth, power, influence

* politics

* science, math, engineering, technology

* ...

Are doing any entity linking here, or are you feeding this into NER tools to apply this ontology to news articles or something?


I hand-curate a bespoke ontology related to my personal, independent research interests.

Scientific consultant / Independent scientist / Subject matter expert / Creator, Owner, Persagen.com

Social justice / advocacy, human rights, environmental health

2024-01-03

My academic background (Ph.D.) is in the biomedical life sciences (molecular biology/genetics), with which I remain current. [1]

My more recent experience is programmatic (programming; data sciences; informatics). [1, 2]

I advocate for universal social justice and equality, environmental protection, and universal human rights. To that end, I created Persagen.com [3] as a self-taught, solo programmer. [4]

That research provides expertise on the history and root causes of contemporary culture wars, conservative politics, and erosions of democracy and civil liberties. [4, 5]

For additional background, please see my cover letter [4] and curriculum vitae [1].
