a-HA!
JUST as I thought. Or sensed. Or experienced.

Our sense perceptions, when thus treated as the paralogisms of
natural reason, can never, as a whole, furnish a true and
demonstrated science, because, like metaphysics, they exclude the
possibility of problematic principles, as is shown in the writings
of Aristotle.

Our understanding (and let us suppose that this is true) proves the
validity of our judgements.

Experiences, consequently, become modalized also in correlation with
noetic acts.

Experiences, perchance, are only modalities of cogitationes.

As is proven in the ontological manuals, Aristotle tells us that the
never-ending regress in the series of empirical conditions is what
first gives rise to, in natural theology, our sense perceptions.

Not to stir the philosophical pot too much, but I spent a delightful
day with David Snowden this past week. He started his discussion
with a quote from Seneca:
“The greatest loss of time is delay & expectation, which depend
upon the future. We let go the present, which we have in our
power, and look forward to that which depends upon chance, and so
relinquish a certainty for an uncertainty.”
Could Seneca have been the original Complexity Theory proponent?
