NPN accepts that absolute certainty is a logical impossibility for a finite mind (the Confidence Gradient). However, the skeptic commits a non-sequitur by equating a lack of certainty with a lack of justification. We demonstrate that successful "navigation" of the Archē is the supreme validation of ontological contact. The burden is on the skeptic to provide a more functionally adequate system than the Confidence Gradient; otherwise, they offer only epistemic paralysis.
