If we favor 1b, the ontological reading, it is clear from the very outset of the dialogue that no object that affords of change can ever be known. Hence, given reading 1b, the two-world theory of forms and sensible flux is presupposed at the outset: only unchanging forms can properly speaking be known. However, the rest of the argument does not seem to presuppose this contentious doctrine, and the interpretation 1a does not rule it out.
