> Doesn’t it come from the mind’s interaction with the world?
There is no difference between these concepts, is there? In both cases knowledge comes from the mind.
Also, you can come up with ideas without interacting with the outside world, can you not? This feels like nitpicking.
What physically happens is that a mind accumulates and (sometimes) systematizes information from outside, and knowledge is the result of this concentration process. Akin to a puddle collecting water from higher grounds. But it doesn’t synthesize water by simply being concave.
Blowing ideas out of poor metaphors is a regular thing in religious texts, so be careful with that if you want to build some practical world view.
Maybe a better term would be information vs. knowledge.
