Explaining the Mechanisms of Knowledge
===Explaining the Mechanisms of Knowledge===
Philosophers had tried since Hume and ====The Phenomena====Kant to describe described the inner mechanisms that constructed our perception, but no final solution was achieved. So to solve this problem I will use ideas that were taken inputs from neurophysiology, that may comply to the philosophic literaturesenses as “phenomena”.
====Propensities in the phenomena====
====Knowledge is about tring to predict the phenoema. We try to predict by using an axiom. The Phenomena====Kant described the inputs axiom says that the mind perceives through the senses as “phenomena”. The phenomena are inputs that our senses gets from unknown sources. In (Which Kant named neumenon, or the thing in itself), and that while there is no neumneon, the equivalent brain modelphenomena will be random or blank, our and that the nomenon when interacting with the senses get their inputs from sensory receptors, will create some propensities in the otherwise random or balnk phenoemna<ref>[http://www.amazon.com/World-Propensities-Karl-Popper/dp/1855060000 Popper, K. (1997). World of Propensities (p. 60). Thoemmes Press.]</ref>. It will suggest that the neumena will create some order in the phenomena. ====Phenomena Sets====I will also assume that the phenomena can be destinguished into specific sets. That there are specific smells (Smell
====Propensities in the phenomena (Or order in the phenomena)Memory====When nothing controls the phenomena we may accept that it will have no order, but when there is something that control the phenomena we may except to find some order in it<ref>[http://www.amazon.com/World-Propensities-Karl-Popper/dp/1855060000 Popper, K. (1997). World of Propensities (p. 60). Thoemmes Press.]</ref>. But even if not so, the brain/mind will assume so.
====The Similarity====
The mind assume similarity between sequential phenomena or sensory inputs when the mind find that a set of phenomena has, by the way it precives, resmblance to other set of phenomena, all ready stored in his memory. We then can say that there were some order in phenomena, that was resamble to other order in the phenomena.
