Abstract
The limiting definition of knowledge 4.3 in chapter 4 revealed that an inquiry method Ξ may scientifically know h in the limit just in case there exists a possible world which validates Ξ’s knowledge of h. This again means that
-
1
h is correct
-
2
Ξ conjectures h after some finite evidence sequence has been read and continues to conjecture h in all future.
It is what it is
