Empiricism observes what is physically sensible.
The only physical phenomenon which can be sensed is matter.
The totality of matter cannot be sensed thus leaving the groundings of empiricism as root in what is incomprehensible.
Nope, you are equivocating again.
What is sensed as empirical are phenomenal things.
There are two senses to 'what is matter',
A totality-of-empirical-matters can be sensed empirically.
When you state 'the totality-of-matter cannot be sensed' you are speaking of it in the ontological sense, thus you cannot equivocate it with the 'grounding of the empirical'.

Matter is what is sensed empirically, the totality of matter cannot be observed. The totality of observable facts cannot be observed due to time thus some fact is always incomprehensible due to this regression.
