Abstract This article attempts to develop further the conception of dynamics in Object-Oriented Ontology (OOO): its model of how objects develop and change. Objects are affected by relations between them, and have the potential both to produce and undergo effects, as realised in interaction with other objects. To elaborate on the change of objects in OOO, an idea is adopted from transcendental ontology. A key Hegelian question in this article is how the realisation of existing potential can produce new potential (Schelling: potentialisation, going from the actual to the possible). Stated differently: how can objects change to the point of breaking their identity and generating a new object? One needs to consider that objects are nested at different levels, and that the degree of how radical change may be depends on the perspective of any given level. To address this issue, the article employs the notion of a script: a structure of nodes, each with its own subscripts. The analysis is applied and developed further through a comparative analysis of change in evolution, economics, a theory of discovery, and linguistics. The dual intention of this is to see if OOO can help us understand those phenomena, and to see in turn if those phenomena can inform the further development of OOO.

目标，关系，潜力和变化

摘要本文试图进一步发展面向对象本体（OOO）中的动力学概念：其关于对象如何发展和变化的模型。对象受它们之间的关系影响，并且具有与其他对象交互实现的潜力，既可以产生效果，也可以产生效果。为了详细阐述OOO对象的变化，采用了先验本体论的思想。黑格尔主义中的一个关键问题是，如何实现现有潜力可以产生新的潜力（舒林：潜力化，从实际到可能）。换句话说：对象如何改变到破坏其身份并生成新对象的地步？需要考虑对象嵌套在不同的层次上，根本变化的程度取决于任何给定水平的观点。为了解决这个问题，本文采用了脚本的概念：节点的结构，每个节点都有自己的下标。通过对演变，经济学，发现理论和语言学方面的变化进行比较分析，进一步应用和发展了该分析。这样做的双重目的是查看OOO是否可以帮助我们理解这些现象，并反过来查看这些现象是否可以为OOO的进一步发展提供信息。
