| Ontology: is the set of material or immaterial objects, of which a theory assumes that it can make statements about them. According to classical logic, an existence assumption must be assumed. In other fields of knowledge, the question of whether relations really exist or are merely mental constructs, is not always regarded as decisive as long as one can work with them. Immaterial objects are e.g. linguistic structures in linguistics. See also existence, mathematical entities, theoretical entities, theoretical terms, reality, metaphysics, semantic web._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Bernulf Kanitscheider on Ontology - Dictionary of Arguments
I 175 Ontology/Kanitscheider: only invariant quantities are candidates for real physical entities. moreover, they must be able to transport energy from a bound system into asymptotically flat space. >Minkowski space/Kanitscheider. Again, this is only possible if these waves are expressed by an invariant object like the curvature tensor! Indeed, such a formulation can be found, and it is justified to consider gravitational waves as periodic changes of the curvature of spacetime. >Objectivity/Kanitscheider._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
