Quite frequently we communicate as if we exist within a flat ontology, where all concepts and categories rest within the same frame of reference and should be understood by all others, regardless of their unique frame of reference.
But actually the concepts in question, while connected, often exist within different layers of our emergent reality, and are therefore generally addressed most adequately using concepts specific to that layer's unique characteristics.
But that introduces the problem of communicating across and between the unique dialects of these emergent layers. In much the same way that science must communicate across fields, our society is increasingly in need of the tools to communicate about and across these complex structures.
In this video, I outline an ontology put forward by the philosopher Manuel DeLanda, and demonstrate how it may be used to achieve the goals outlined above.

As I suspected, I was wrong about the timing of the Hindenburg. It occurred during the run up to WW2:
