Jon,
We have no conception of incognizable consequences. But surely there is a real possibility that a scientific intelligence can come to know facts in the future which are inconceivable in the present. Semiosis takes time, and conceivability grows; if it didn’t, there would be no difference between corollarial and theorematic deduction. Eternal conceivability is not a pragmatic or pragmaticistically meaningful concept. gary f.
