无需全局时间的事件本体,用因果关系定义系统动态行为

Subject-Event Ontology Without Global Time: Foundations and Execution Semantics

  • 以事件为感知动作,通过概念模板决定可识别变化
  • 用显式依赖关系定义事件顺序,不依赖时间戳
  • 支持分布式系统与多视角场景,适合微服务和区块链

本文提出一种无需全局时间的主体-事件本体形式化框架,用于建模复杂动态系统。核心思想包括:事件是主体依据自身概念模板对变化的识别与固定;事件顺序由显式依赖(先发生于)定义,而非时间戳;通过声明式数据流机制实现本体的可执行性并保证确定性;模型作为认知过滤器,主体只能固定其已知概念内的内容;事件一旦固定,其声明内容即刻可用,无需外部验证。形式化包含九条公理(A1-A9),确保可执行本体正确性:历史单调性(I1)、因果无环性(I2)、可追溯性(I3)。特别强调基于模型的方法(A9):通过模式验证事件、授权参与者、自动构建因果链(W3),且不依赖全局时间。在Boldsea系统中实现验证——一个可执行本体的工作流引擎,使用Boldsea语义语言(BSL)实现理论构造。该框架适用于分布式系统、微服务架构、DLT平台及多视角场景(不同主体间存在冲突事实)。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

A formalization of a subject-event ontology is proposed for modeling complex dynamic systems without reliance on global time. Key principles: (1) event as an act of fixation - a subject discerns and fixes changes according to models (conceptual templates) available to them; (2) causal order via happens-before - the order of events is defined by explicit dependencies, not timestamps; (3) making the ontology executable via a declarative dataflow mechanism, ensuring determinism; (4) models as epistemic filters - a subject can only fix what falls under its known concepts and properties; (5) presumption of truth - the declarative content of an event is available for computation from the moment of fixation, without external verification. The formalization includes nine axioms (A1-A9), ensuring the correctness of executable ontologies: monotonicity of history (I1), acyclicity of causality (I2), traceability (I3). Special attention is given to the model-based approach (A9): event validation via schemas, actor authorization, automatic construction of causal chains (W3) without global time. Practical applicability is demonstrated on the boldsea system - a workflow engine for executable ontologies, where the theoretical constructs are implemented in BSL (Boldsea Semantic Language). The formalization is applicable to distributed systems, microservice architectures, DLT platforms, and multiperspectivity scenarios (conflicting facts from different subjects).
