The Theory of the Knowledge Square and the Concept of the Possibility Space,

We now turn our attention to the

possibility space

as the second building block of the knowledge square. The possibility space is a cognitive connector between the potential space,

and the space of the

natural actual

. It is an element of continuity of the epistemic chain of knowing and explaining where the potential space and its contents, relative to cognition, are taken to exist but unknown to cognitive agents as true ontological elements. The potential space is the initialization of activities of cognitive agents and their knowledge production process where knowledge and awareness of the elements must be abstracted by a process. The possibility space is made up of elements which are possible candidates for knowing from the potential space. It is cognitive construct in terms of ontology and epistemology. It constitutes an initial bridge between ontology and epistemology (the words epistemic and cognitive are interchangeably used in a number of occasions). The question, therefore, is: how are the concepts of possibility and possibility space defined, how are they connected and how are they related to the uncertainties and the process of knowing?
