The simple question everyone should raise is: if every novelty emerges as a series of undecideable points which regulate the trajectory of a Truth, then wherefrom emerge the decideable points on knowledge? If Truth is without a concept since it follows from an evental supplement to knowledge; how is knowledge first ever established, so that it becomes possible to isolate it predicatively? Does truth revert to knowledge at some point? Is knowledge simply truth under certain assumptions?
