Gap (ontological or semantic)(as used to describe separations or boundaries between different ways of understanding something)
A real difference or distinction between two things—either in what they actually are (ontological) or in what they mean/refer to (semantic).
Ontological
"Ontological" refers to questions about what actually exists or is real. It's concerned with the fundamental nature of being—asking "What kinds of things are there?" rather than "How do we know about them?"
