Let me know what you come up with.
In theory one could formulate a rationalist system.... but that would
of course be ultimately unsatisfactory...
The theoretical level is just a means to an end and never an end in
itself, and if it has no grounding in reality, especially
experiential-reality and instantiation, then ultimately it is more or
less useless.....
Some theoretical constructs can serve the purpose of pure expediency
and lenses through which to interact with the world and interpret
it.... some may serve to express or validate certain intuitions and
seductive logical possibilities.... others may be mere logical
constructs that have -some- substantial or persuasive basis but are
ultimately unverifiable or indemonstrable and outside of human
experience..... others may serve to make sense of things and resolve
certain problems but don't ultimately prove anything......
the only one that could possibly matter in this case would be one that
is derived from experience and is intrinsically "realizable" through a
certain methodology....
and for that one would need a methodology....
Isn't the scientific method that methodology?

it's not possible right now if it is even possible at all.
