RO as a law-governed relation vocabulary for Moppe

The OBO Relations Ontology suggests a concrete implementation path for Moppe’s anti-fantological vocabulary: represent universals and particulars explicitly, then expose a small curated set of relations carrying inverse, symmetry, transitivity, domain/range, and one-way property-chain laws. This closely matches Smith’s enhanced Davidsonian list of formal ties #WRVKYL and the sextet connected by instantiation, inherence, participation, parthood, and realization #2HSCQG Caution: adopt an RO-inspired Moppe profile rather than reusing biomedical labels outside their licensed domains. In particular, coin mechanical subrelations for fixed/driven actuator attachments rather than has muscle origin/insertion; do not call spring and damper antagonists; distinguish contact-at-interface from occurs across a barrier; and treat a recipe file as concretizing recipe information while generation realizes the plan and outputs a world. Property chains derive propositions and are directional; they are not the same as numerical transform composition in forward kinematics. C++ concepts may combine freely, but only curated named universals should enter the ontology, preserving the separation of logical and ontological vocabulary emphasized in #V5457K and #6BUB8K
