a priori / a posteriori / incompleteness

 Did a quick review of "a priori" vs "a posteriori". 


My reflection upon the given definitions is that, "a priori" should NOT be interpreted as "what can be known without empirical evidence", RATHER as "what linguistic definitions are presumed, prior to the consideration of empirical evidence".


My superficial appreciation of Godelian Incompleteness, then renders the following formulation : "the design of a priori presumptions determines the epistemological limits of what can be inferred from those presumptions, regardless of a posteriori considerations".


Today's study is statistics, from first principles.
