Through realization
of observation,
one arrives at a presupposition.
Then, greater mental organization
of the addition
of information
makes a transition
to speculation,
which stimulates further inquisition.
By definition
this is cognition,
which follows knowledge accumulation.
Next, proposition
of explanation
made from the data’s interrelation
is the leap into extrapolation.
Investigation –
prerequisition
for its condition
of affirmation –
remains vital for its validation.
Verification
through repetition,
beyond the point of exasperation,
and demonstration
will merit its serious admission
and acclamation.
Last should come equation formulation.
