To think thought would be a loop and to be aware of this loop would be a further loop so on and so forth. This is an infinite process of loops which is a loop. Consciousness and cyclicality are inseparable hence why the ancients where so fascinated with the circle.

The infinite circle, with infinite circles within and without leaves the circle as fundamentally an observation of void for infinite circles within and without leaves nothing. Consciousness comes from nothing and goes back to nothing.

If a perception is offered to the mind. Do I still have a belief in Descartes’ undoubtable belief? Perception being one of the four operations of the mind in logic, then anything can be doubted. On the very grounds, I disagree with epistemological nihilism. A perception is without affirming or denying concerning anything. So, we use primary and secondary qualities because of inconsistencies of perception. Gettier and the true belief of reliability of the experiential experience is not justified. How does concrete, and abstraction the former a precept, and the last a concept become a generalized notion?
