Your central point is taken that there are known knowns. But, 
technically Triskele might be /merely/ an alien creature that is 
analogous to dogs. If you saw it, you might prefer the term "bear" ( 
suspect you would). I know it probably makes no difference narratively 
and little allusively, but it does exemplify Wolfe's forest of mirrors.
