COSMOGONY

2.   Q. How are things known?

       A. Some thing becomes knowable or known (to us)  or brought to attention only                 through awareness (of detection). Awareness may be very subtle or not                           necessarily tactile. A blind, deaf being may not see or hear their body in its                     gross composite but there is still a sense of having a body despite the sensorial               deprivation, usually assigned to the parietal lobe of the brain. Awareness can                 arise only when it touches at the present time of encounter. Awareness is                       stimulated by the multitudes  of minute contacts that seem to accrue to larger,             and detectable input. who has the immanent sensitivity  to trace all subtle,                   minute encounters that transpire according to fleeting conditions? It is unlikely               that a process of an awareness can be posited.

           Hence, there is not a singular, attributable, distinct origin or source to the                     knowable universe but rather a combination of dependent, temporal conditions             that give rise to its appearance, e.g. space, flux, energy, light etc. that we                     commonly attribute to its appearance.

3.  Q. What is awareness?

4.   Q.  How does perceiving the universe come about?

5.    Q.  Aren't our assumptions based on data real?

        A. Data may be assessed simply or in complexity but data is a composite at it               prime level and it depends on the sophistication of the being on how it is                   assimilated and utilized. For a complex organism, like ours,  with many                     sensitivities, there may be a great myriad of encounters needed to  compose             a concept of appearance. For a simple life form, it will likely require less or               fewer encounters or contacts to appraise an appearance. Bu since                             appearances are conditioned and those change, there cannot be assumed a               sustained substrata that can be referenced or discovered. Its appearance is              dependent upon whatever combination, whether non-material or otherwise                will be detected. 

          So this may give rise to the idea that something comes from nothing. Rather,              it is likely that many perceptible  appearances arise about the same relative              time at different locations though they may seem isolated from one another.              When they do arise and are detected by a complex being that perceive their              characteristics, then they are perceived.  When the characteristics are not                detected, they are unperceived and may be "unkown", "obcrured", "invisible"              or "nothing"  at least but not limited to  sensorial empirical level.
