ontology = "What exists, and what is it like?"
epistemology = "How can one know things?"

I'd also add that Internal/External is the same as discursive/intuitive. N and F make connections through intuitive reason, where T and S make connections through discursive reason.
Thanks for the clarification of Labcoat's ideas. Overall it makes sense as a translation of the more usual definitions. You seem to be on the same wavelength....Is this a theory that has been discussed before?

Still, I have problems with F being about knowledge. Traditionally, judging functions are about decision making...E.g., how do I come up with some criterion for deciding on this or that. I suppose that can be translated to knowledge in some way (knowledge that one should decide on...), but only indirectly.

As to intuitive vs. discursive reason...I'm not sure what you mean. Can you explain?
