Abstract
All the definitions of convergent knowledge can validate the axiom of truth (T), the axiom of deductive cogency (K) and the axiom of self-awareness (S4) at least when consistent expectation is imposed on the discovery methods. Additionally, all the definitions failed on the axiom of wisdom and consequently the modal system S5.
A plausible impossibility is always preferable to an unconvincing possibility
—Aristotle, Poesis
