The Minimal Ontology Principle addresses the engineering challenge of aligning enterprise business concepts with language model representations, focusing on identifying and correcting divergences between latent and structural ontologies. Modern AI architectures must bridge the gap between pre-trained model knowledge and explicitly curated business definitions to enable effective enterprise AI platform engineering.
