Primordial chart of being
Most primordial: Our preontological (implicit) understanding of being. This understanding allows ontologies (disclosures of kinds of being, or ways of being) to arise.
Less primordial: Ontological disclosures of being. These demarcate types, or categories, of being within the field of beings as a whole. For example: life, history, space, quantity, quality.
Least primordial : The ontic sciences. These are concerned with the factual properties of specific beings.
