Epistemology
Table of Contents
1. Abstract
The philosophical theory of knowledge: concerned aspects
- what constitutes a knowledge claim
- how can knowledge be acquired or produced
- how the extent of knowledge's transferability can be assessed
1.1. Types
1.1.1. Objectivist
- a true reality (the object) outside the observer (the subject) exists and is not dependent on the existence and state of the observer
- this can be said to be most closely related to Ontology
1.1.2. Constructionist
- the objects interpretation is dependent on the subject's interaction with reality and objective reality doesn't exist independently
1.1.3. Subjectivist
- all reality is dependent on the perception of the subject and can be mended according to the subject's experiences

2.1. 0x21B0
- formally exploring more of epistemology henceforth
- looked up the ontological approaches towards artificial intelligence and intrigued enough to build a base of prerequisites.
- check out this casual read that may aid intuitive comprehension :
2.2. 0x216A
- Delving into the idea of Epistemological Cartography.
- Cartography usually refers mapping landscapes and terrains physically. I find the idea of mapping the abstract knowledge landscape.
- might allow me to do some interesting things
- abstractly map journeys between domains
- define closeness and interrelatedness between domains
- it might just have to be a math in itself
- the physical world we experience is 4 dimensional (time + location): but I can explicitly see that I'll need to work in an indefinite number of abstract dimensions when working with an epistemological landscape.
- I think the idea is mature enough to create it's own node : see Epistemological Cartography
2.3. 0x2128
- an important aspect of maintaining a malleable context for multiple domains is how you interact with your knowledge systems and how you consume information around you.
- blog post on pragmatics of intellectual consumption and creation (PICC)
2.4. 0x211E
- I index this personally as the philosophical theory of knowledge (which is vague).
- Diving deeper so that I can start to formalize this via some representation (NIL) in my works.
