Abstract This paper establishes the terminological foundations of MKS®- Thronaxis, a metadisciplinary architecture for knowledge after postmodernism. The framework distinguishes three irreducible dimensions of epistemic inquiry: ontological tiers (what kinds of reality are encountered), epistemic axes (how truth is disclosed, mediated, and adjudicated), and methodological grids (how inquiry is practically conducted). This threefold distinction—developed here with philosophical precision and theological grounding—prevents the characteristic failures of Both modern foundationalism and postmodern relativism: the collapse of being into method, authority into empiricism, or Theology into fideism. By establishing a stable conceptual grammar, this prolegomenon provides the terminological infrastructure necessary for subsequent MKS publications to operate with consistency, clarity, and immunity from predictable misreadings. The paper argues that terminological precision is not merely stylistic but constitutive of the framework's The capacity to govern epistemic relations without reducing them.
