PRIOR KNOWLEDGE
From the known comes the unknown.
From the pre-existent comes the existent.
Mankind incrementally acquires new knowledge from prior knowledge.
Without at least a minutiae of prior knowledge, there is neither reason nor incentive to seek new knowledge.
This general principle would appear to apply to all things now known.
If the above statements are true, then, prior knowledge is the basis of all new knowledge.
The need for prior knowledge does not diminish nor deprecate the prospect nor appearance of chance, luck, grace, good fortune, or peradventure.
These random events of unexplained etiology have too commonly occurred historically, allegorically, in mankind to discount or to deny.
Instead, prior knowledge enables, enhances, prepares us for, even identifies, the prospective presence of these unusual, inexplicable occurrences.
Prior knowledge, then, even celebrates, utilizes, rejoices in the presence of these now-recognized gifts of unknown origin, which derive from that divine, eternal archive of all prior knowledge, of all things period.
