what is known and understood is used to increase the content of that set and reduce the content of the set of unknowns.

That is illogical. The set of unknowns is infinite. The set of knowns will always be finite. Therefore what is known will never reduce what is unknown.

inf = infinity

inf1 = The real number line x from 0 to inf

inf2 = The real number line y from 0 to inf

inf1 = inf2

inf1 + inf2 = 2*inf1 = 2*inf2

inf1 - inf2 = 0

inf1 - some subset < inf1
