Known
The known refers to the object or content of awareness, that which has taken shape within the mind as something named, represented, or understood.
The known rests in interpretation, retrospectively organised by perception and rooted in sensation. It is the form experience takes once it has been gathered into image, impression, meaning, narrative, or conclusion. In this way, the known carries the represented movement of “Me”, the Self as it comes to be held, reflected upon, and understood within awareness.
The known is the stabilised expression of what has been lived, sensed, perceived, and interpreted. It carries the shape that awareness has given to experience, allowing it to become something that can be recognised, thought about, and related to within and between Self, Other(s), and the World around us.
The known is differentiated from the knowing as a noun (object) is from a verb (process). Importantly, the known is what being is to becoming, the product of the process.
