An Axiomatic Schematization of the Fundamental Conditions of Human Knowledge in General
Abstract
This treatise constructs an axiomatic formalization of the transcendental conditions governing interactive agency and human knowledge. Tracing the trajectory of strategic equilibrium—from the von Neumann minimax foundation and Nash equilibrium to Bernheim’s epistemic rationalizability and Daskalakis’s PPAD intractability—we identify the structural limits of orthodox rationality as rooted in a dogmatic adherence to Boolean valuation. To circumvent this failure, predictive cognitive dynamics and variational principles are synthesized with the geometry of Grothendieck toposes. Once observational interaction is organized over a Heyting algebra, multi-agent belief hierarchies are constrained by intuitionistic logic, dissolving computational obstructions through categorical sheaf cohomology. In this topos-theoretic setting, strategic decision-making and cognitive synthesis converge upon transcendental schematism: an architecture governing algorithmic complexity, cognitive variational mechanics, and the arithmetic geometry of synthetic a priori judgments.
