→Axioms of Knowledge
===Axioms of Knowledge===
====Propensities in the phenomena====
Knowledge is about tring trying to predict the phenomena. In the effort to predict , I will suggest that we use the axiom that says that the phenomena are inputs from our senses , which gets get inputs from some source (Which Kant named neumenanoumena, or the thing in itself). We can "feel" the neumena by the following mechanism: When there is no input from the neumena, the phenomena will be random or blank, and when the neumena is interacting with the senses, it will create some propensities in the otherwise random or blank 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 noumena will create some order in the phenomena.
This axiom may not describe the real relations between the phenomena and the neumena noumena (If such exists), but it helps us understand the way our system of creating knowledge works. The system assumes that such a relation between phenomena and neumena noumena exists, and all the following calculations will work based on this assumption.
====Spesific Phenomena====
I will also assume that these propensities in the phenomena creates destinguished create distinguished specific phenomena. the destinguishable The distinguishable phenomena may be specific smells, sounds, feelings, touch, tastes , etc. I will call it Destinguished the Distinguished Specific Phenomena (DSP).
====Memory====
I will aslo also assume that the mind can store past DSPs for a while.
====Similarity and Induction====
