I have been addressing this very topic within my networks these past few weeks; which I have not engaged in for many years. Imagi viva Dei and the 15th Century Council of Florence give birth to the Renaissance out of a dark age. Thank you for the deeper dive. Where SRI computer modeling falls short is claiming that the methodology at the Council of Florence was the same. . Not at all the case, and I suspect that this false equivalency was used to cover up the true history and significance of Cusa and his associates. Cusa methodology of squaring the circle, which is an excellent pedagogical exercise for not merely belief in a model, but discovering and knowing a set of o universal principles.
Cusa is essentially Socrates on spiritual steroids. Cusa himself called his approach a "mystical theology." It provides a very solid epistemological and spiritual rock for then wading into the very dense sea of fogs and mists of the soul. Some call this area of investigation "mysticism." Cusa himself referred to his views as a "mystical theology." From a Cusan standpoint, one could say that the higher one climbs, the thicker the mist. Rather than disappearing, the deeper we go, the clearer the mysteries.

In the third paragraph, I linked to Cusa's complete work, On Learned Ignorance.
Highly recommended.

Cusa called this Learned Ignorance.
