Abstract
Most, if not all knowledge is constrained by some former knowledge, for instance, as with common expressions such as “John dresses a nice jacket,” whose understanding is constrained by previously capturing what “dress”, “jacket”, and “nice” mean in plain language and in the context of such an utterance, or “All prime numbers are odd,” the understanding of which needs to know previously what is understood by “numbers”, “prime”, and “odd” in the language of arithmetic.
