I've never subscribed to the idea that epistemology is open ended, which is why I wrote a unified theory. What's required is context, built on reason and observation.

'perceived truth of the moment' is an interesting turn of phrase. It sounds like we consider knowledge the same thing. Perceived truth of the moment is something I was thinking about as well, namely that knowledge doesn't exist any more than matter, except in the perceived moment.

Knowledge and Truth go hand in hand. Like Mind and Heart. Together they comprise a greater whole. The question is, how do we incorporate a concept like truth into KM. Actually, the question is, how do we understand how truth works within KM, because without it, there's no KM.

Truth is an interesting dynamic. It involves different polarities, like inner/outer, left brain/right brain, etc. Together, these polarities ascertain what we know as truth. Like our outer experience agrees with our inner intuition. Its not necessarily an exact science, but it leads us to 'believe' to whatever extent we're willing to believe anything.

Of course, the deeper we dig, the more truth comes to light.
