Taxonomic Tree of GFO
GFO (General Formal ontology) draws a fundamental distinction between concrete entities, categories and sets. Sets are described by an axiomatic fragment of set theory of Zermelo-Fraenkel, although fragments of anti-foundation axiom set theories such as ZF-AFA are considered.
Concrete entities are entities which are in time and space, while categories have universal character.

“It never had been inside the room,
And only one of the two
Was afraid in an oft-repeated dream
Of what the tree might do.”
