Plant Insect Bird practical formal ontology with Leonardo calculus

I revisit my #lispgames #gamejam #gamedev. In this article I create a formal ontology to be a vehicle for my concrete game redux of the jam (which had been lacklustre if technically interesting. Let's be technically interesting and have more lustre this time round.

Thoughts, commentary, ontological guidance gentle and stern if you will please.

I am beyond pleased to share that I am featured in the latest issue of the world renowned Smithsonian Magazine (July/August 2025).

To see my drystone work, and my voice, recognised, and to take up space in a field where women are still few and far between, means more than I can say.

I was so proud to show my daughters this.

"I realised really quickly for every stone I can't lift, there's a stone that a man can't lift"
