It holds this particular wider frame for the goal of establishing and cultivating trust and therapeutic relationships, as well as encouraging the qualities of curiosity, openness to diverse cultures and perspectives, creating spaces for people to share their experiences and views and interpretations related to it, and related beneficial goals.

	~~In many ways~~, the entire discussion above was to make the case for Neutral Clinical Ontological Pragmatism as a possible solution to the question of what scales globally that can benefit and inform the clinical, scientific, public health, and public mainstreams, as well as diverse public communities.		An example of Neutral Clinical Ontological Pragmatism is the white wiggly lines (and numerous other phenomena) often experienced as part of a migraine with [[wikipedia:Aura_(symptom)\|aura]], where, however the patient might view this visual phenomenon ontologically, the clinician is unlikely to add much ontological overlay or interpretation beyond an open curiosity and interest in what they are experiencing and the fact that these sometimes happen with migraines and may help refine the differential diagnosis. So, this capacity for Neutral Clinical Ontological Pragmatism that adds value to care and facilitates communication is already demonstrated routinely in clinical care, and the goal of EmergeWiki is to expand this valuable clinical capacity to a wider range of phenomena.

	Ontological Certainty is a common feature of most religious, spiritual, cultural, scientific, and related emergent traditions. [[Noetic Experiences]], those which induce a compelling sense of veracity in the experiencer, both of bare phenomenology as well as interpretation, are commonly reported as an aspect of [[Emergent Phenomena]]~~, and this~~ is reflected in thousands of years of traditions claiming the supremacy of their diverse ontological doctrines. For traditions who propound or adhere to Ontological Certainty, it is important that they be labeled and described as having this feature, as that knowledge may be very useful in ~~for~~ intrapersonal understanding and cultural competence as the basis of building therapeutic alliances and promoting good outcomes.

	Ontological [[wikipedia:Agnosticism\|Agnosticism]] is the notion that we cannot know for certain what the underlying truths actually are, as there is insufficient evidence to justify absolute certainty one way or the other~~, so this~~ is closely related to considerations of Epistemology and fundamental inadequacies therein. While there is some nuanced diversity in the varieties and underlying logics of Agnosticism both in terms of the reasons for the doubt as well as what there is doubt about, the basic essence of it containing essential aspects of ontological uncertainty remains. Its roots are ancient and its contemporary variants are many, contributing strongly to movements and cultural phenomena such as [[wikipedia:Postmodernism\|Postmodernism]].

	Ontological agnosticism has the disadvantage lacking the reassuring sense of felt certainty and known truth, with both the internal and social benefits that may provide. It has the advantage of potentially being more open, curious, flexible, and culturally accepting, potentially contributing to the demonstration of openness, acceptance, and interest that can allow for the establishing of trust in healing contexts, for example and specifically.
