Abstract

               In this paper, we propose a journey whose departure is a legitimate need to define the context and at the same time the system and its boundaries. We suggest that this process is both  common and intentional apart from the systemic practice. It helps to make sense of observation. Unusually it is suggested here in this work we cannot build on solid foundations and determined but on the fundamental lack linked to the observation process itself. On a first step, we develop the theme of the limit, without confusing it with the border. We explain the concept of Limit throught the following three constants: incompleteness, indeterminacy and self-reference. We show that these three expressionsare both singular and coextensive. In their overlapping antagonistic relationships occur. Based on the interplay between these concepts, we develop a method ofunderstanding of the perceived complexity. Then we will briefly present a rigorous  and practical heuristic tool implementation. This is a development of knowledge that takes its source in the heart of unknowability. LikeHubble has shown that there is no center to the universe, we propose to place the unknowability at the center of the process ofobservation. That means we place the observer at the heart of a world to understand and to act, rather than man at the center of a universe to explain and demonstrate
