Abstract: Problems of any character arise and are solved within heuristic space, are resolved within epistemic space, where they cannot arise and cannot be supported. Epistemic space (a ≠ a) is distinguished by difference, in which any two points are rigorously distinct. It is a non-convergent, non-identity, non-coordinative and non-linguistic space. Heuristic space (a = a) is an identity space, whose governing functionality is convergence. Its fundamental principles, themselves heuristic and so not rigorously demonstrable: all problems are solvable at some level of convergence (of a concatenation and ordering of factors of variable weight and number); every problem has multiple (convergent) solutions; solutions cannot be known a priori and may fail at any point; and alternative solutions are of equivalent orders of convergence.
