The absolute vacuum is the Mocombeian ontological name for the fifth dimensional probability wavefunction (the world of noumena, i.e., the in-itself) that gives rise to the material worlds, their facts, relations of ideas, and mathematical principles, we as a species experience. In this article, I utilize Mocombe’s phenomenological structural epistemology emanating out of the aforementioned ontology of the absolute vacuum to refute Kant’s epistemological unknowability of the noumenal world, i.e., the absolute vacuum in Mocombeian epistemology.
