Lol! Not Anaximander or Anaxagoras?...Reading the conversation between you and daliwali is quite enjoyable. I generally agree that "noumena" are irreducible in expression (e.g.: Gödel's incompleteness theorems), but can be experienced (i.e.: that's what "gnosis" is). These "archetypal forms" are the foundation of the "Prisca Theologia"/"Primordial Tradition"/"Perennial Philosophy"/etc.
In other words, they are what all individual expressions hold in common and reasoning can point to them. One of the clearest descriptions of how humans connect to this process that I've seen is from Miriam Joseph's Trivium. I would type it out here, but the quote won't fit, so I'll post it with some extra notes on its own temporary webpage: https://letslearntogether.neocities.org/bookclub/quote01
