The complete set of all knowns, known or | The complete set of all [[knowns]], be they known, unknown or [[constructive]], comprising the total intellectual energy of the [[semantic universe]]. According to [[reductionist]] thinking, the sum total value of all knowns is 1. | ||
This led some to career off down a logical oubliette in the quest to formulate axiomatic algebraic expressions of the relationship between all potential knowns, such as: | |||
