Responding to a provocative question by Hiroharu Seki about Hiroshima ontologies, the author reviews his own thinking about the ontological primitives appropriate for peace-research relevant event-data making and defense-relevant high-performance knowledge bases. He proposes that second generation adaptive, multi-agent models in the tradition of Santa Fe Institute be developed to include the socially shared memories, including their identity-redefining traumas, of nations and of international society, as well as their relational/migrational/ecological histories of community building success and failure. Historicity in this ontologically distinctive sense is also a challenge for the relevant computationally oriented international relations and peace research literature on war and peace.
To appear in Hiroharu Seki Memorial Volume, M. Kobayashi and S. Endo, eds., Yshindo Pub, Japan (in Japanese).
