How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T403547 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

Target entity: Begriffsschrift Context triple: [Gottlob Frege, notableWork, Begriffsschrift]
-
A.
The Mathematical Analysis of Logic
The Mathematical Analysis of Logic is George Boole’s pioneering 1847 work that laid the foundations of symbolic logic and helped initiate the algebraic treatment of logical reasoning.
-
B.
Frege’s system in "Grundgesetze der Arithmetik"
Frege’s system in "Grundgesetze der Arithmetik" is a foundational logical framework for arithmetic based on second-order logic and Basic Law V, whose inconsistency—revealed by Russell’s paradox—marked a turning point in the development of modern logic and set theory.
-
C.
Principia Mathematica
Principia Mathematica is a landmark three-volume work in mathematical logic and the foundations of mathematics, co-authored by Bertrand Russell and Alfred North Whitehead, which aimed to derive all mathematical truths from a formal system of symbolic logic.
-
D.
An Investigation of the Laws of Thought
An Investigation of the Laws of Thought is George Boole’s foundational 1854 treatise that established Boolean algebra and helped lay the groundwork for modern mathematical logic and computer science.
-
E.
Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus
Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus is Ludwig Wittgenstein’s early 20th-century philosophical work that attempts to define the relationship between language, thought, and reality through a highly structured, logical framework.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.

How these facts were elicited
The pipeline generated the facts above by prompting gpt-5.1 with this entity's name + description and the instruction below.
Instruction
You are a knowledge base construction expert. Given a subject entity and a description of it, return factual statements that you know for the subject as a JSON list of dictionaries(triples), where keys must be "subject", "predicate" and "object". The number of facts may be very high, between 25 to 50 or more, for very popular subjects. For less popular subjects, the number of facts can be very low, like 5 or 10. # Requirements - If you don't know the subject at all, return an empty list. - If the subject is not a named entity, return an empty list. - Include at least one triple where predicate is "instanceOf". - Do not get too wordy. - Separate several objects into multiple triples with one object.
Input
Subject: Begriffsschrift Description of subject: Begriffsschrift is Gottlob Frege’s groundbreaking 1879 work that introduced a formal logical notation and is widely regarded as the foundation of modern symbolic logic.
