The conceptual system organizing knowledge, understanding, and ways of knowing within poetry. How the poem structures information presentation, epistemological approaches, and development of comprehension. Can be rational and systematic, intuitive and associative, experiential and phenomenological, or combine multiple modes. Important in philosophical, didactic, and cognitive poetry where conveying or questioning understanding is central purpose. The framework determines not just what is known but how knowing occurs, how certainty develops, and what epistemological positions the poem endorses, questions, or demonstrates.
