How about the concept: "cannot be reduced right back down to an
irreducible and sensory level of
perception" ;-)

So we "know" apriori that space is Euclidean, while knowing aposteriori
that it isn't. How does that work?

knucmo there can be NO *intelligent structure* without sensory data to
identify. If your claim is that man can have any idea concept theory of
knowledge at all without sensory matter, then that places you fairly
and squarely in the mystic's camp of stupidity.

Space IS matter and must be identified without contradiction to have
any meaning at all in man's quest of his knowledge.

Now knucmo, explain, which means, give a rational definition of space
WITHOUT reference to sensory matter.

Explanation Of Space And Time Without Using Sensory Existent Examples

I challenged Kantian Knucmo, as I have many other Kantians now at this
forum, to give an example of any idea, any concept, and or any theory
of man's knowledge which can not be directly linked to, or which can
not be reduced right back down to an irreducible and sensory level of
perception.

Kantian Knucmo has claimed, in his so called *refutation of Michael
Gordge's doctrine*, that space and time are two such examples of man's
concepts, used in the quest of man's knowledge, which are not directly
linked to, which are not derived from, which can not be reduced right
back down to an irreducible and sensory level of perception, he claims
space and time exist as concepts not linked directly to sensory
evidence / matter.

Now, given also that Kantian Knucmo likes to consider himself a bit of
a whizkid at things logical, he should therefore have no problem
explaining the meaning of both space and time without resorting to any
sensory evidence and examples.

His challenge is to explain *10 minutes ago* and to do so, without
resorting to any sensory evidence.

Einstein couldn't, so I'd be interesting in seeing someone that thinks
they can.

Are you saying Einstein could explain *10 minutes ago* without using
any link to sensory evidence?

You fail to see the distinction! Yet again. Ahh, I should be so
surprised.
