[FRIAM] Essentialism, Praedicamenta, Katēgoriai and Category Theory?

[Steve Smith]

In my fumbling about in Essentialism,  I backed into the (implied to me) 
question of whether Aristotle's /Katēgoriai/ in any way presaged or set 
the stage for the formal mathematics of Category Theory and if his 
/Praedicamenta/ was in some way an Ontology of Epistemology?

I'm guessing that the postModern OO and Patterns CS types here might 
have their own perspective and formalisms related to these questions?

Glen's sideswipe at the term (ala Gibson) of /Affordances/ a few threads 
back was maybe where these thoughts first bubbled into my awareness?

<yah... probably all just word salad...>
