We have seen that Learning, Knowing, Understanding and Interpretation are inextricably linked and overlap each other to a very large degree. It is impossible to talk meaningfully about any one of them except in reference to all of the others. So it is with various ways of knowing.

We cannot understand recognition without referring to sense perception, memory, intuition, reason, emotion and language. A phenomenology of, say, memory, sooner or later encompasses—just as before, in no particular order—language, emotion, intuition, reason, sense perception and recognition. The individual essences remain elusive; but the inherent circularity is actually a positive thing, revealing progressively deeper layers of coherence and understanding of a set of distinct, but not separate, categories.

Seven Facets of Knowing are highlighted in the Homo discens project. This was a choice. Intuition could have been combined with recognition and swallowed up by perception. The Facets of Knowing in Homo discens are a compromise between lumping and splitting.
