Further agreed. (01)
Knowledge can be modeled as timeless, but the intuitive notion of learning
expects knowledge to increase with experience. The generally accepted rule
of thumb is that efficiency increases by 20 to 30 percent for every doubling
of experience. Therefore knowledge does, in fact, increase with the
learning individual. (02)
So any timeless model will have to have projections of the timeless
individuals onto useful classes of present individuals otherwise filtered
into the context. Whether the context can be modeled as timeless is a
completely different question, and just as complex. (03)
