Vishwa Balasubramanian

My name is Vishwa, and I am an independent researcher working at the intersection of systems theory, behavioural modelling, and foundational ontology. I do not come from a formal academic background in ontology; instead, my work has developed through interdisciplinary study and sustained engagement with complex socio‑technical systems. This outsider perspective has shaped the direction of my current research and motivated me to contribute to the applied ontology community.

I am developing a process‑first ontological framework called Verbanatomy, which proposes that actions, tendencies, and constraints are ontologically prior to static entities. The framework formalises a grammar of action intended to support the analysis of emergence, stabilisation, and systemic drift across biological, organisational, and artificial systems. My goal is to offer a contribution that complements existing applied ontology methodologies by providing tools for representing pre‑stabilisation dynamics and identifying failure modes that entity‑centric models often overlook.

I am joining the Ontolog Forum to engage with a community that values conceptual clarity, methodological rigour, and practical relevance. I hope to refine Verbanatomy through dialogue with experts in ontology engineering, semantic interoperability, and knowledge representation, and to contribute perspectives from my own work as it continues to evolve.
