I believe Truth is the Disposition to Know the Facts. When we say we have the truth, we really mean we have the knowledge, the certainty, the real position. And these are all--I'll refer to them as Knowledge, to generalise-- Truth Data (TD). TD is the extraction that humans do of certain Truth Points. I see Truth like a dimension which is parallel to that of Time and of Events. Therefore Truth always goes with reality, and we can't know it, we can know, and this is TD. But remember that inmideatelly after we take the TD out of the Truth Dimension, then the TD is not Truth, just Knowledge, taht means that it was true in the particular point in which it was on the truth dimension, but not now. Also I think that the dimension of Truth is just between those of events and of time. We are ussually consciouss of events, and after of time, as a derivative.. That is why, when we know the truth of something, we are in the line between the line of events and the line of time. That is why when there ar eno events we centre on time, but primarilly we centre on events.
My aim in this thread, as I have always said, is to achieve a theory of Truth which is much more obvious and clear than the rest.
