Duane it is just a simple thought experiment to introduce how inference works without the technicalities:No, incorrect; i.e., nothingness is not originative ground of concrete being; rather, nothingness upsurges from the negation of concrete being. (See Being and Nothingness, J.P. Sartre, 1943).
Take a circle 0 and fold it: (8)
Let it be a dipole (+)8(-) (same as *P)
This "form" serves in-as conjugate:
any/all (-1 knowledge / +1 belief-based ignorance)
within creation/destruction ad infinitum:
P =/= P
P = -P or +P
P = *P
__________
*variable: (+) and/or (-) allows for (e)motion
thus:+2 (any/all) <-*creation
-1 KNOW
^
(-) conjugate
^
*P I AM (willing {to / not to} ...)
v
(+) conjugate
v
+1 BELIEVE
-2 *not to* <-*destruction
(x)P(y)
wherein: x and y are conjugate (+) or (-)
so once either is known, the other is also known (via inference):
if x is (+), y is certainly (-)
if x is (-), y is certainly (+)
if either is unknown, it is impossible to infer the other.
"I am" can not infer 'that I am' unless "I am" knows itself whence to infer 'that I am'.
Thus CKIIT finds "know thy self" to be a universal axiom.
hence: Conscious Knowledge of Ignorance (Inference) Theorem
