Crimson Echoes is the aspect of the Universe that contains all posited objects, elements, and chaos or events that exists without sense or perception. Crimson Echoes is the utility behind noumenon and phenomenon, which refers to anything that can be apprehended by or is an object of the senses.

• Platonic Ideas and Forms are noumena, and phenomena are things displaying themselves to the senses. Noumena and the noumenal world are objects of the highest knowledge, truths, and values.

Crimson Echoes is the possibility and actuality of knowledge independent of the senses

• the noumenal world may exist, but it is completely unknowable through human sensation.
• Crimson Echoes is the reason behind the unknowable "thing-in-itself" and the impossibility of characterizing the nature of a relationship in relation to "thing-in-itself".

Crimson Echoes is the aspect of the Universe that precedes existence that precedes the essence of oneness that employs a concept to describe or categorize noumena (the objects of inquiry, investigation or analysis of the workings of the world). Crimson Echoes is behind the essence of employing a way of describing or categorizing phenomena (the observable manifestations of those objects of inquiry, investigation, or analysis).

• Crimson Echoes contains the posited methods by which human understanding makes sense of and thus intuits phenomena that appear to the mind: the concepts of the transcendental aesthetic, as well as that of the transcendental analytic, transcendental logic, and transcendental deduction.
• Crimson Echoes contains the "categories of understanding" that are the principles of the human mind which necessarily are brought to bear in attempting to understand the world in which we exist (that is, to understand, or attempt to understand, "things in themselves").

Crimson Echoes makes it that objects of which we are cognizant via the physical senses are merely representations of unknown somethings—what Crimson Echoes refers to as the transcendental object—as interpreted through the a priori or categories of the understanding. Crimson Echoes precede unknown somethings that are manifested within the noumenon—although we can never know how or why as our perceptions of these unknown somethings via our physical senses are bound by the limitations of the categories of the understanding and we are therefore never able to fully know the "thing-in-itself" called the Universe.

Crimson Echoes is the aspect of the Universe that is truly unknowable. Without Crimson Echoes, there would be only phenomena, and since potentially we have complete knowledge of our phenomena, we would in a sense know everything. Crimson Echoes makes it that the concept of a noumenon is necessary, to prevent sensible intuition from being extended to things in themselves, and thus to limit the objective validity of sensible knowledge.

Crimson Echoes is the reason why the existence of the Universe limits reason to what can be perceived to be within proper bounds, making reality question the actuality of metaphysics and pataphysics. The Universe will forever remain unanswerable by reason. As there are no appearances of the Universe in relation to entity or the phenomenal, the Universe cannot be known to a mind that works upon "such knowledge that is and knowledge that is-not".
