noumena

The transcript says 'nomina'; context indicates Jiang is referring to Kant's noumena, objective reality or things in themselves.

Jiang's 'Nomana': things-in-themselves, objective reality, and later the spiritual/conscious reality behind appearances.

Kant's objective reality or thing-in-itself, which humans cannot directly know in Jiang's summary.

Kant's unknowable things-in-themselves, used here as the objective reality humans cannot directly access.

Jiang divides reality into objective reality, the things in themselves or noumena, and phenomena, the things as they appear or are understood by us.

Kant's distinction between noumena and phenomena is used to describe reality itself as things-in-themselves and perception as the translation of that reality into things as they appear to us.

The noumenal is described metaphorically as consciousness, energy, vibration, information, Monad, God, and vibrational fields that generate dyads and the basic structure of the universe.

Kant's model is summarized as active filtering: humans cannot know the noumenal thing-in-itself, only the phenomenal world produced by mental filters such as space and time.

Jiang uses Kant to argue that humans do not access objective reality directly; they transform noumena into phenomena through perception, time, space, and imagination.
