I'd expect there would be lots of quid pro quos in such an arrangement - as well as the need for real reciprocity.

"Ontology (from the Greek ὄν, genitive ὄντος: of being <neuter participle of εἶναι: to be> and -λογία: science, study, theory) is the philosophical study of the nature of being, existence or reality in general, as well as of the basic categories of being and their relations."

But I like your version of ὄντος better !
