A parallel is made between the evolutionary development of a brain and the current development of ontological modeling. Evolutionary theory suggests that the brain evolved to aid in the movement of organism.  Ontological modeling provides a new means to aid in the organization of efficiency in communications between human communities.  The individual human has a cognitive capability because of the natures of the brain system. This capability is manifest in various ways.  The collective expresses intelligence in the evolution of languages, the use of mathematics and other knowledge artifacts. Now ontological modeling creates new types of capabilities.

The interface between ontological models and individual humans promises to create one more step in the evolution of collective capability.  When these models are used while addressing critical national concerns there is a more rapid response.  When there is the use of a reasonable model of natural intelligence, agility is found so that the collective action is intelligent. Mathematical models have produced the control over engineered systems, and over some aspects of living systems.  However, the ontological models are needed to extend farther than where the mathematical models have been found sufficient. The models extend into biology, social science and psychology.  

The benefits beginning to be seen include ways of working together that involves the use of the Internet.  For example, decentralization of energy production and use may be linked to the development of cultural understandings of ontological modeling, including ontological modeling of biology, social and psychological phenomenon.
