How to model abstract concepts, like a hypothesis, a synthesis idea, an algorithm in EMMO ? #309

Since EMMO is also a top level ontology for many scientific eras,
shouldn't it be able to also describe abstract concepts, like
a hypothesis of an experiment, a chemical synthesis idea, an algorithm for a computer program ?

How would one model such abstract concepts in EMMO ?

EMMO is nomenalistic. So abstract concepts are described by classes.
All individuals must stand for real world entities.
