How have we come to know, and how we can affirm it with validation? A clear and visual approach to a claim will let you confide in your own understanding of things, but it is ourselves that are the testing instruments. It must be a trustworthy method that humanity can relate to, and the method must have the ability to be checked for flaws. Approach the steps with caution and be aware of the influence of self, culture and prejudice. To test a truth-statement the method of testing must be transparent and have the common acceptability as valid. It must rely on commonality, and the methods must receive the same results.

To be acceptant to different results is mandatory, because it cannot be a fixed experiment, which only works for selected groups. It is a prerequisite that the results be allowed to play out to know and understand cause and effect. A bias in expectance of results will skew the analysis. Therefore, past evidence and encounters must be recognized as a proclamation, or a hypothesis, until the individual can prove it.

To test an object for material content, we must find the elements it contains. We break it down and find the building blocks. Truth must be tested the same way. The test of causal effects, as Hume (Ayer, 2001) laid it out must eliminate any misinterpretation so that we know what comes before the other. Small microscopic details will change the results and create a different product.

Therefore, when thought or ideology is at it’s test, every aspect of the thought-line must be tested with thoroughness. Because it can have completely different results and might be at fault. To be cautious of the details is therefore quite important because it will not portray truth, if it doesn’t contain the elements of truth.
