Semantic Spacetime

Semantic Spacetime (SST) is a framework developed by Mark Burgess that helps us understand and reason about complex systems by representing knowledge as a graph of promises and causal relationships in space and time.

Instead of relying on complex ontologies and hierarchies that often lead to ambiguities, SST uses a graph-based approach to model how events, things, and concepts relate to each other. This makes it easier to represent and reason about distributed systems, configuration management, and how meaning propagates through systems.
