The Epistologese experiment: The Theory of Non-knowledge and the Illusion of Meaning

Abstract

This paper develops an argument grounded in the Theory of Non-Knowledge (TNK), introducing Nullification as a logical and epistemic tool that enables the creation of non-contradictory concepts by separating them from their traditional definitional entanglements. These redefined units, expressed as X(NS), such as Freedom(NS) or Happiness(NS), are not semantic reductions, but functional reformulations. Through a single-case demonstration, it is shown that coherent interpretations can emerge from semantically null texts, revealing that understanding does not depend on inherent meaning. TNK uses this to expose the arbitrariness and fragility of traditional epistemic assumptions. Rather than collapsing knowledge into confusion, TNK establishes a new category of epistemic clarity: non-knowledge as a deliberate and rational outcome of nullification.
