I don't think there really are any such things as "category errors" in the first place, since categories are linguistic entities, not fixed platonic universals. But in terms of inconsistency, there are paraconsistent logics *Why Paraconsistent Logics?* https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/1215/b3f65dbce2f2d23f18f751c4991e1ee9a614.pdf that are used by agent programmers to make AI agents. So in that sense *there are inconsistent objects*. - pt -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
