The Presentation/Re-Presentation and Representation of Evidence*

0.   Introduction

	In the phenomenal-phenomenological ‘space’, between the non-textual and the not-textual, facts are modified in the proposed light of their ‘evidence’. (0)

1.   A Theoretical Perspective

	 The processes of presentation, re-presentation and representation of facts are conducted through their modification.(1)

	This is conducted between the presentation, etc., of ‘evidence’ and the ‘evidence’ of presentation, etc. (2)

	Non-analytical evidence is forever provisional hence apparent ‘evidence’. (3)

	‘Evidence’ is presented, etc., through the non-textual dimension, i.e., through the suspension of the textual and the meta-textual correlativity within the overall hermeneutic circle (operating between the moments of the textual, meta-textual and the non-textual). (4)

	This proposed presentation, etc. is re-presented, etc., through the overall transcendental suspension. (5)

	That presentation, etc., being adequate when an adequate overall transcendental suspension is exercised. (6)

	Presentation is the iterative promotion of intentional material through its sequential formation. (7)

	Re-presentation is conducted through the re-simulation of the presentational period through re-construction thence the re-iteration of its essential phenomenal-phenomenological form. (8)

	Through iterative/re-iterative reconstruction the presentation/re-presentation is identified through representation of that presentation/re-presentation thence its conceptual nomination. (9)

	‘Evidence’ is made evident through the suspension of the correlativity between the textual and the meta-textual, and, is ‘evidenced’, i.e., tested to some degree or other, through an overall transcendental suspension. (10)

2.   A Practical Perspective

	Pre-conditionally the formation, malformation and rectification of factual-assemblies is an overall ordered affair. (11)

	Conditionally the formation, malformation and rectification of factual assemblies is a transformational affair on the cusp of the fifth and sixth orders. (12)

	Post-conditionally the formation, malformation and rectification of factual assemblies is a sixth ordered affair through the assignment/re-assignment of truth values. (12)

	Assignment/re-assignment being controlled in the light of proposed ‘evidence’ and its ‘evidencing’, i.e, to that extent it can be tested (by various means). (13)

3.   A Critical Perspective

	‘Evidence’ is evidenced through special forms of re-simulation. (14)

	Through the re-construction of a presentation or ideal presentation of the same, a re-presentation of its essential ideality and the representation of its nomination. (15)

	Thence the ordered coherence of text, the exhibition of a general non-contradiction of (a focus on) subject-matter or content and/or background, and, a general openness to forms of confirmation, etc. (16)

	E.g., Santa Claus is a coherent concept that can be perceptually visualized, but which, however, cannot be entertained if he lives at the North Pole, both drives and flies a sled with reindeer, can come down narrow chimneys, can deliver presents to all children and adults on Earth, etc., and has no confirmation (except through the mis-identification of his false proxy representations in department stores, etc.).  (17)

	On the other hand, e.g., Bill Clinton of America, for two terms, was President of America, as a fact, is a true fact because the total concept is coherent; textual evidence is overwhelmingly not contradicted, and, its representation is positively nominated as part of our general understanding of the world (in the corresponding inventories). (18)

	Moreover, great personal or political power is often better represented through a greater degree of proliferation of intentional depositions, and re-depositionally influenced secondary streams disseminated about the same, etc., (as witnessed, e.g., through news-articles about political figures, etc., in newspapers, and then their provoked dissemination of further articles about those articles, etc.), etc. (19)

	Thence the acceptance of an identified presentational subject, object and/or context; its re-presented stability of presentation; and, its verified nomination. (20)

4.   Provisional Conclusion

‘Evidence’ is realized in a complex phenomenal-phenomenological process of interaction that presents, re-presents and represents an existential descriptor or a set of existential descriptors in an existential descriptor context constituted in the form of a retrospective factual-assembly whose current continuity is either still present in part or in whole or effectively absent. (21)

	‘Evidence’ is either directly experienced and/or indirectly ascertained. (22)

	Effectively, ‘evidence’ is more contrived when it is analytically established and not synthetically evidenced (through a correlativity of texts and meta-texts). (23)

	Thus the world-for-us is written and re-written. (24)

	In between the textual and meta-textual, in between the suspension of the same in the formation of the non-textual, and, in between the non-textual and the not-textual through the not-textual nature of the overall transcendental suspension. (25)

	Fortunately, ‘evidence’ is always to hand, to some extent, in some form or other, be it positive or negative in its assignment/s of truth value/s. (26)

	Through denominated presentation (as the subject matter of that factual assembly) (27)

	Through re-presentation of its apparent textual evidence-to-hand. (28)

	And its represented nomination as assigned. (29)

	Thence the variety of the cultural inventory of facts to hand and our ability to research their currently definitive existential status, i.e., their sixth order assignment along with all ensuing forms of modification. (30)
