Principles, Axioms, Theorems and Premises for the Art and Science of Knowledge
Principles:

1. Knowledge exists unbounded
2. Knowledge can neither be created nor destroyed.

Axioms:
1. Knowledge can be discovered.
2. Access to Knowledge can be lost.

Theorems:
1. Knowledge discovered conjoins with the reality of the discoverer.
2. Knowledge conjoins can be represented symbolically.
3. Knowledge cannot be directly revealed.
4. Multiple discoveries may reveal the same knowledge.
5. Observation of symbolic representations of undiscovered knowledge may assist

discovery.
6. Each discoverer’s reality is unique and bounded as a sum of conjoined knowledge.
7. Knowledge conjoins embrace multiple dimensions of discoverers’ realities, i. e.,

physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual (social.)
8. Knowledge conjoins are partitionable.
9. Scientific “truths” must be based on multiple sets of identical discoveries.
10. Simple truths are easily discovered through direct observation and reasoning.
11. Complex truths are not simple.
12. Complexity science strives to establish complex truths.

Premises:

Ontological: Theoretical entities represent real entities initially through scientific

intent and establish truth only in as much as phenomena tend to follow hypotheses.

Epistemological: Knowledge is absolute–Truths are relative. An observation language

provides a “coordinate system” for symbolically establishing truths. Both the observations

and the coordinate system are subject to interpretation, error and adjustment.
