Canon 1444 Knosis is a fictional term meaning confidence in or reliance on the validity of some quality or attribute of a Form based on Proof, Reason or Logic; without the need of Belief or Faith. Knowledge therefore in its truest sense means the quality of possessing and displaying Knosis (gnosis).
That tends to sew up some loose ends, or resolve contradictions, specifically along the lines of establishing the source of authority being a source other than an individual human being making any claims of authority on their own say so, or just because I say so, or just because my army (or my lies) are mightier than your army or your Knosis (gnosis) or displays of competence concerning the fact that true authority originates from some source other than the bully, liar, fraud, extortionist, criminal, with or without a counterfeit badge.
Earlier in the Positive Law Cannons there is this:
Meaning is a fictional term used to define the quality of having intention or purpose. Hence the early definition of "mean" as having in mind a purpose.
The basis of authority to me is understandable from a power perspective once again, as the power to create is as external to the individual human being as is the power to survive as an individual as well as the power to survive as a species is external to the species unless, again, the counterfeit authority offers Might making Right (because I say so) being a form of cannibalism whereby the many eat each other and in that way, as the lie works out, there can be survival of the species so long as there remains at least one more member of the species left to consume.
That to me spells out the power struggle in a nutshell. One side recognizes external power as the source of power of creation and survival, and this is necessary information required in the process of surviving (and surviving well) and the other side claims that authority originates internal to each individual whereby the most powerful one consumes all the other ones.
The power to recognize true authority is within the individual, as a function of the power of will, or the power to self control, to decide, to act in this way instead of that way, and so that reinforces the understanding further (understanding that true authority is not will power within one individual) because often is the case whereby an individual will decide to take a path that is destructive to the individuals own life as well as steps are often taken whereby the individual destroys those who could have helped the individual survive, and survive well.
If the power of authority were inside of individual human beings then there would be no mistakes made by individual human beings, no need for lies, no need for threats, no need for aggressive violence, as each individual would possess, or control, always, the same proven true authority.
The reasoning here, again, is based upon the concept of a power of creating life, as well as a power of sustaining life. If the idea is to claim that true authority is derived from the power to destroy life, then such an idea may actually work out in time, whereby that authority arrives at the goal stated by that authority, and life ends, and is never to be seen again.
