I – Our ability to know is limited by our ability to perceive.

II – There are known knowns, those ideas concepts or principles that are perceptually true through close observation and rigorous testing.

III – There are known unknowns, those ideas concepts or principles that are presumed to be true but cannot be perceptually proven at this time.

IV – There are unknown unknowns, those ideas concepts or principles that have yet to be presumed.

V – A question must be clear in its nature and purpose for it to be answerable in a meaningful way.

VI – As understanding increases the ability to formulate and answer complex questions increases.

VII – Some questions can be answered in perceptually certain terms while others exist in a realm of pure thought separate from perception.

VIII – As understanding increases questions may move from the realm of pure thought into the realm of close observation and rigorous testing.

IX – It is empirically vital to imagine many sorts of questions as even a question proven perceptually false is valuable in eliminating an incorrect possibility.
