knowledge is a relationship<br />
we imagine between our<br />
memories of phenomena, that which<br />
we call “information.”</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">“Relationship” describes a<br />
dimension of information that<br />
explains the behavior or<br />
appearance of<br />
phenomena that<br />
we process into<br />
understanding.<!--more--></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Our cognitive ability to<br />
process information<br />
is contingent on many<br />
dimensions of reality that<br />
intersect in order to constitute<br />
our physical and<br />
imagined bodies.</p>

<h3 style="text-align:left;">edited: post script</h3>
<p style="text-align:center;">Our senses,<br />
our education are<br />
imperfect tools with which we use to<br />
process phenomena because<br />
tools operate to<br />
dilate, distort, and manipulate<br />
time/space configurations,<br />
they do not permit the body to<br />
collapse as one<br />
into<br />
unfiltered<br />
space/time because the<br />
body is not an object the<br />
body is a series of<br />
relationships, an interface with<br />
sociology, history, biology, physics&#8230;<br />
It is our senses,<br />
our tools that<br />
<span style="line-height:1.5;">distinguish us from<br />
various phenomena.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">My ice cream cannot<br />
eat me because<br />
my ice cream does not have a<br />
tool with which to<br />
consume my skin,<br />
my saliva, my teeth, my nails;</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">and when a<br />
white cop does not<br />
acknowledge the<br />
humanity of a<br />
black man, that<br />
black man does not have the<br />
necessary tool with which to<br />
combat the gun, the<br />
tool manufactured to<br />
transform phenomena into<br />
corpses,<br />
objects no longer considered a<br />
threat.</p>
