clarify your concepts

nobody knows what to know means beyond some instantaneous perception. predictions are by their definition not knowledge. What is knowledge is at best the method to produce predictions. Also, you must motivate that to predict is to know. it is pure faith that your method does talk about the world; you have no proof of uniqueness of your method anyway, so there can be other mechanisms which produce the exact predictions that you get from your favourite model.

If I predict the weather for each fifteen minutes over a year, why would you call it knowledge before the year has passed ?
