# Ontology **Ontology** relates to *existence* and the nature of being. It is about what objectively exists in reality, independent of whether or how we know it (unlike [Epistemology](Epistemology.md)). For example, we may ask "[Does spacetime curvature actually exist, independent of our explanations?](Newtons%20Force%20of%20Gravity%20Is%20Not%20Real,%20But%20Einsteins%20Curvature%20of%20Spacetime%20Is%20Real.md)" This is an ontological question—it seeks to understand whether this entity is truly a feature of objective reality. --- Date: 20241119 Links to: [Fabric of Reality](Fabric%20of%20Reality.md) Tags: References: * []()
