Learning, Knowledge, and Truth. my thoughs before the skype meeting.

I have been thinking about learning, knowledge, truth, fact, Actual, Reality, and Real and what all of these words mean, so I went looking into my dictionary. I found that:

Learning is:

1.the act or experience of one that learns
2. knowledge or skill acquired by instruction or study
3. modification of a behavioural tendency by experience.

which leads me to what is knowledge, and experience, checking my dictionary again I have found the following:

Knowledge is:

1. cognizance
2. the fact or condition of knowing something with familiarity gained through experience or association
3. acquaintance with or understanding of a science, art, or technique
4. the fact or condition of being aware of something

7. something personally encountered, undergone, or lived through
8. the act or process of directly perceiving events or reality

Fact is:

1. a thing done
2. feat
3. action
4. performance doing
5. quality of being actual

7. an actual occurrence
8. a piece of information presented as having objective reality


Actual is:

1. Active
2. existing in act, and not merely potentially
3. existing in fact or reality
4. not false, or apparent
5. existing or occurring at the time

Reality is:

1. Quality or state of being real
2. a real event, entity or state of affairs
3. the totality of real things or events
4. something that is neither derivative nor dependant but exists necessarily

Real is:

1. relating to things
2. of or relating to fixed, permanent or immoveable things
3. not artificial, fraudulent, illusory, or apparent : Genuine
4. being precisely what the name implies
5. occurring in fact

7. existing as a physical entity and having properties that deviate from an ideal law, or standard
8. having objective or independent existence
