Chapter 94: Objects with Dignity and Worlds with Structure

Part VII established the ethical framework: dignity as label-independence, the categorical imperative as sheaf condition, the CI proof programme, and the commitment register. Part VIII extends this framework from individual maxims to social wholes. This opening chapter develops a categorical social ontology: social facts are sections of a sheaf over a base space of dignity-bearing entities, with recognition morphisms providing the topology and collective intentionality arising as glued global sections. The Social Ontology definition (VII.D76) captures how individual agents with dignity compose into structured social worlds.
