Hi Marsha,

I find it confusing too.  And I've put off looking into it further,  
but now is as good as time as any to look into it. So I tried the  
dictionary, it wasn't any clearer, so I tried the poor mans  
encyclopaedia - Wikipedia. It actually gives both concepts with many  
example questions so I'll answer a select few of them below.

Before I do however, I should mention I don't think there is a single  
question which can divide both concepts like you request as both  
concepts are their own    questions themselves.



Epistemology:
=============
"What do you know?"

That Quality is fundamental and the source of all things. From this  
quality a metaphysics is born called the MOQ.

"How do you know it?"

 From experience.

"What is knowledge?"

Knowledge is static patterns of Intellectual value.


Ontology:
========
"What is existence?"

static quality capable of apprehending DQ.

"Is existence a property?"

Among other things, yes.

"What does it mean to say something does not exist?"

It means you are not talking empirically. Because some thing is  
static quality and thus it exists.

"Why are we here?"

Because of good.

"Why does anything exist, rather than nothingness?"

Mu. Both anything and nothing exists.


It would appear to me Marsha, that epistemology is about the source  
of knowledge.  Thus, the MOQ perspective is that epistemologically,  
quality is the source of Intellectual patterns of value.  Meanwhile,  
ontology is about the source of existence.  The MOQ perspective on  
this is that ontologically quality is the source of everything.

Hope this makes things clearer for you.

Cheers,

David.
