  Noumenon: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com
In the philosophy of Immanuel Kant, a noumenon or thing in itself (German Ding an sich) is an allegedly unknowable, undescribable reality that, in some way, lies "behind" observed phenomena.
Whatever concept we might want to use to categorize some noumenon or noumena, it is Kant's view that that is only a way of categorizing phenomena, so that it is something of a mystery about how we might cognize, or think about, things in themselves at all.
In large part due to the theoretical baggage of the jargon, "noumenon" is used by philosophers almost exclusively to describe this concept in Kant's philosophy.

  Noumenon - Psychology Wiki
Noumenon ("Ding an sich") is distinguished from phenomenon ("Erscheinung"), an observable event or physical manifestation, and the two words serve as interrelated technical terms in Kant's philosophy.
The direct link, however, between the noumenon and phenomena is assumed to be naturally existing by Kant, but he has much difficulty explaining exactly why or how they are naturally linked—that is to say, how it is that our minds are naturally capable of interpreting the world.
Noumenon is linguistically unrelated to "numinous," a term coined by Rudolf Otto and based on the Latin numen (deity).

'Noumenon', therefore, is not the interdependent counterpart (or the opposite) of 'phenomenon' but the source of 'phenomena and of non-phenomena'.
'Noumenon' is a symbol indicating double phenomenal absence—the absence of both counterparts or, as sometimes expressed, the absence of the negative counterpart (a double absence), which is also the absence of the absence of the positive.
Even as such, philosophically speaking, 'noumenon' still appears to be dualistic; that is, to be an objective concept requiring a 'cogniser' of some 'thing cognised'.

 RPGnet : Review of Noumenon
Before you read on, I urge you to take the time to read the preview of Noumenon available here, as it will introduce you to a few basic concepts, to the game mechanics, and to part of the tone of the book’s prose.
While the two chapters dealing with the game aspect of Noumenon are written in a straight-forward fashion, it bears mentioning that it isn’t so with those parts of the book that present the setting (which is to say, most of it).
The gamble of Noumenon’s design is that by providing gamers with such an ambiguous “gamescape”, something interesting, fun, and original will emerge during the either GM’s prep work or the actual course of play.

Noumenon is the unmanifested aspect of what we, sentient beings, are: Phenomenon is our manifestation.
Noumenon - timeless, spaceless, imperceptible being - is what we are: phenomena - temporal, finite, sensorially perceptible - are what we appear to be as separate objects.
But phenomenal objects, noumenon in manifestation, although they are nothing but noumenon, and can know that, even realise it via their phenomenal psychic mechanism called 'intelligence' etc., cannot 'live' it in their individual, space-time, conceptual existence, which is subject to the temporal and illusory process of causation.

  Phenomena and principle
"Noumenon" (principle) is truth, reason, the realm of understanding and Awakening and belongs to the sphere of "essence." "Phenomena" are expedients, practices, deeds, "form," and fall under the heading of "marks." However, at the ultimate level, phenomena are noumenon, essence is mark, and both belong to the same truth-like state, all-illuminating, all-pervading.
In cultivation, noumenon and phenomena are the two sides of a coin, interacting with one another and helping one another.
Noumenon and phenomena, essence and marks are thus interdependent.

Noumenon ("Ding an sich", or "thing-in-itself") is distinguished from phenomenon ("Erscheinung"), the latter being an observable event or physical manifestation capable of being observed by one of the five human senses.
He and later philosophers argued that the noumenon is of an utterly indeterminate nature and that any discussion that does not treat it as such thus cannot, in fact, be a discussion of the noumenon.

 Indie-Music.com - Noumenon ~ Self-Titled
Noumenon is a rock trio that takes its name from an Immanuel Kant philosophy, which is a concept that differentiates the thing itself (or the noumenon), from the thing as it appears (or the phenomenon).
Noumenon is no doubt inspired by the likes of Pink Floyd, which is exemplified by the ten minute-plus epic length of “Gainsaid,” and influenced by Led Zeppelin on “Chameleon,” because of its heavy rock feel.
And while the group may take its name from a concept first developed by an old philosopher, this is neither a particularly brainy, nor a wordy work.

 How does the death of Christ equate sacrifice? - Theology Forums.com
I think the real issue of Noumenon's is who and what Yahweh is. This is obviously related to his bizarre linking of Yahweh with Sin (capital S).
Instead of questioning his belief in who and what Yahweh is, he instead questions whether the writers of the gospels knew what they were talking about when they wrote about Yeshua from their own experience or from second hand witnesses in full knowledge of the time, place, and circumstances about which they wrote.
So any attempt to show the loss Yeshua experienced to Noumenon will be pointless because he is coming to the question as if Yeshua had nothing to lose to begin with.

 Noumenon - Definition, explanation   (Site not responding. Last check: )
In the philosophy of Immanuel Kant, a noumenon or thing in itself (German Ding an sich) is an unknowable, indescribable reality that, in some way, lies "behind" observed phenomena.
Some writers also refer to noumena (the plural form), though the very notion of individuating items in "the noumenal world" seems problematic, since the very notions of number and individuality appear among the categories of understanding -- so that individuality itself is a noumenon.
Whatever concept we might want to use to categorize some noumenon or noumena, that is only a way of categorizing phenomena, so that the act of knowing a noumenon must itself be defined by a noumenon, a situation that is unresolvable.
