This episode brings together key ideas from three essays on the use of ontologies in behavioural science. It looks at how shared frameworks can help organise behavioural concepts across sectors like public health, technology, and policy—making them easier to apply, scale, and adapt.
It also reflects on the challenges that come with this approach: from the risk of oversimplifying complex behaviour to the difficulty of maintaining frameworks that stay useful over time.
