1-2g1b What matters is the explanation, and not what you can see
3-1c3a We are not interested in where the knowledge came from

10-2g2e4 Abstractions seem less ‘justified’ to the justified-true-belief misconception
1-2b0 Truth needs an explanation. Being true doesn’t mean you don’t need one.
1-2b0.5 We crave necessity because we are contingent
1-2b0.5a The best we can attain is belief, since truth cannot be guaranteed

RUL3 - Any system should be measured by how much it can help with whatever its output.
