"The scientists are holding them off," said Peirce. "Let's go!"
Frege and Peirce arrived to the end of the sanctuary. They felt a heavy weight.
"Upon entering this temple, you've crossed the veil of Prolegomena. A world of a priori intuitions await you."
They saw that the purified air of this place increased the toll on their analytical capabilities. In fact, the amount of judgments to be made a priori increased nine-fold in the air.
As much of a toll as it was, they soon realized this could, if you thought another way, not be the problem. The holy leader of the philosopher-rulers was used to such an air.
He must have- 15000. Almost twice as his own level of sense-perception.
"Wrong!" he quickly anticipated Frege's prediction giving a punch, gathering five thousand a priori units and increasing his power to 20000.
Frege defended himself.
"Logic, ethics and physics were the three ancient Greek division of philosophy."
Kant began his impending discourse. Seraphs began to appear and disappear around him.
"Nine is the number of Categories."
He had in fact removed one of the Categories as described by Aristotle. Such was the will of Immanuel Kant.
"Enough of this," said Peirce. "I shall pierce him!"
He shot Peirce's arrows at him, but it did no damage. In fact, he had himself taken damage. Peirce had been engulfed in a trapping of thesis and anti-thesis that his reason could not get out of. The world has a beginning, but it's infinite. There's freedom, but all is nature.
"Is this… the difference between our sense-perception levels?"
"Heed not his words," exclaimed Frege. "He only seeks to confuse you."
Angelic and demonic wings grew as Kant reached his final form.
It bordered on a 50'000 sense-perception level, give or take imaginary numbers.
"No," thought Frege. There had to be a weakness. Kant had expanded upon Aristotle before him. He himself could expand upon Kant. Someone beyond him would then go on and expand upon Gottlob's logic.
His system of logic kept track of Kant's increased sense-perception, even as it went to imaginary numbers. It mattered not to him whether intuition was derived from space-time or not. His system of logic encompassed even arithmetic in an analytic and a priori way; such a system he would use to surpass Kant.
"I shall stop your reign now. Cantor's infinite-1 number… punch!"
