Hi Marsha, I understand, I prefer to see patterns as creative. As creations, incompleteness is a given. When you claim incompleteness of what we know, this only says that we have more to create.
Just out of curiosity, you say knowledge is hypothetical as opposed to another alternative; Does this mean that there are things that are not hypothetical? If so, what are these things? If not, then your term hypothetical seems meaningless. Please give us some more meaning, by providing an example of the non- hypothetical that your awareness provides. If everything is uncertain for you, even uncertainty, where do you start? That the hypothetical is hypothetical, this could mean that the hypothetical is truth. How do you resolve this paradox?
