My guess is that ontology, for most, is not a concept that readily springs fully-formed to mind.
I suppose it may be roughly defined as the ultimate generalisation of the way things are, how they work, inclusive of everything "seen and unseen", or perhaps I should say "material and spiritual" or "noticed and unnoticed" or "living and inanimate", or "dimensional or non-dimensional".
Nothing is beyond its purview.
Sounds to me like the proper scope of "science", which simply means the knowledge of how things work.
Or perhaps more inclusively, how things are (since some things don'rt work!).
Indeed, perhaps we are inadvertently reaching for a definition of "God" in so far as God is generally reckoned to be the ultimate "all-powerful", nothing being beyond His-Her reach (as far as may concern us or be perceived by us).
Which, pushed to its logical conclusion, would mean that all the observable (and unobservable) universe including everything in it must be included within the concept of God.
Naturally, this concept would mean that all the scientists of yesteryear (Newton Einstein etc) who looked only at the grit of matter (and energy) rolling around in three dimensions would be building their theories on dodgy ground (so to speak) since they take matter, energy etc as a "given", whereas they are in effect a creation of "God" / the ontology, or however you want to describe the Ultimate of ultimates. We need "science" to look deeper!
Step forward the redoubtable Clif High, originally birthed into the world of the internet by BitChute, harboured for a while by YouTube, now promoted to Substack, all the creations of humans for the purpose of broadcast communications to humans.

So we can indeed contrast God, the ultimate creator of the universe of everything, to us humans who in our small way are the ultimate creators of the internet universe and everything in it.
The difference is obvious - whereas God is (supposedly) a singular entity, humans are multiple entities working in cooperation. But (humour me here ... ) suppose that the God that we think we understand is actually a multiplicity of entities working together to create the universe and everything within it ... just as humans have created the universe of the internet?
There is no reason to believe that this multiplicity of entities would not in practice be formed of a hierarchy working beneath the ultimate Godhead. As a matter of fact, ancient Biblical texts acknowledge "Angels" and "Archangels"!
All that said, the point of this article is to render Clif High's latest Substack article ("Trumpitos") comprehensible to readers new to these concepts.
Clif High is important, since I know of no other who has his breadth of experience, depth of knowledge, and powers of investigation and logical deduction necessary to make sense of our world at this point in its development.
And now, finally ...
