Frances replies with the following list of realist and pragmatist notions. This all goes to the attempted building of a phenomenal system with a categorical structure by Peircean philosophers.

It then falls to other collections of humans to attempt an offer of connections and corrections. The real truth indeed may never absolutely be known for sure with exact certitude, but humans are driven to try and guess at it the best way possible. I am glad that
