A few more thoughts on the problem of "Integrating Frameworks" (IFs).
When I think about IFs in historical terms, there are a couple of 19th-shading-into-20th Century systems that come to mind:
1. Peirce's triadic sign relations, that make it possible to imagine all intellectual interchange about whatever worlds you care to name taking place inside of one big three-column relational database table.
2. Riemann's manifolds, that would be there when Einstein needed them to correlate the otherwise discrepant observations that different observers make from diverse and sundry reference frames.
As it happens, there is a connection between these two ideas — there are triadic relations resting irreducibly at the core of both systems.
Pronounced/pɝːs/. "Peirce", in the case of C.S. Peirce, always rhymes with the English-language word "terse" and so, in most dialects, is pronounced exactly like the English-language word "purse". Also see "Note on the Pronunciation of 'Peirce'", The Peirce [Edition] Project Newsletter, v. 1, #3/#4, Dec. 1994.

"The Categories" (PDF 177 KiB) MS 403. A later version by Peirce of most of his 1867 paper "On a New List of Categories", interleaved by RANSDELL with the original 1867 "New List" itself for comparison.
Bibliografía Peirceana (2006). Grupo de Estudios Peirceanos, JAIME NUBIOLA, ed. Huge bibliography of secondary literature, and plenty in English & plenty in Spanish.
Charles Sanders Peirce bibliography at Wikipedia. Primary & secondary, including bibliographic resources for both. Originated by AWBREY, expanded by UDELL, & with myriad links, many to Peirce's writings readable online.

Dictionary of Philosophy and Psychology. JAMES MARK BALDWIN, ed., 1901–1905. Many entries written in whole or part by Peirce. See "Peirce's contributions" above, under "Peirce's texts online".
PORT images of Peirce's manuscripts. If you try to save an image but your program seems to give you the sole option of saving it as a .bmp file (which could be huge), try typing the filename including the ".jpeg" extension into the "save as" field.
Many of the links in the stored old pages lead successfully to other stored old pages (including stored old versions of pages that are still maintained and findable on the Internet). Links to stored high-resolution photo images are a bit spotty sometimes and one may need to visit more than one stored version of the given page in order to find a working link to a given stored photo image.
PORT photo images of Peirce manuscripts. UPDATE: Tepfenhart's home page is back at its old URL and anyway the images are also at GEP. But I'll keep these Wayback Machine links here "just in case". Update's end.
PORT: Peirce On-line Resource Testbed Project. CHRISTIAN KLOESEL, MARY KEELER, Indiana University - Purdue University at Indianapolis, USA. I can't find working links to the photo images of Peirce's manuscripts but see PORT mirror sites below.
Bill Tepfenhart's Home Page. Photo images of Peirce's manuscripts. Some of the images are around 20MB. I saved one and, for some reason, my computer gave me the sole option of saving it as a .bmp file (and that would have been hundreds of MBs!), but I just typed the old filename including its extension (.jpeg) into the popup window and was able to save it properly.
