Epistemology

Knowledge

Knowledge is information whose patterns have been verified as logical. It can be divided into two categories: knowledge of concepts and knowledge of existence. The only things you can verify to exist are yourself and any concepts you are currently aware of. Consequently, knowledge of existence, or knowledge about the things that exist, can never be fully verified and remains speculative.

Belief

Belief is the assumption that something consists of logical patterns. Therefore, belief can be considered assumed knowledge. Most of our knowledge is acquired through belief, but it is crucial to adjust our beliefs when they are shown to be illogical.

What It Means "To Exist"

Something exists when it is composed of possible patterns—arrangements that are logically consistent.

The expression "to exist" is often used to describe things of which we are currently aware, though its scope extends beyond our perception.

Concept

A concept is a mental representation or an abstract idea (pattern) that encapsulates the essential characteristics and relationships of a category of objects, events, or phenomena, enabling cognitive processes such as categorization, understanding, and communication.
