Reflexivity and cognitive limits
Human cognition represents a particular form of relational processing within the universe.
Scientific knowledge progressively increases the amount of information that can be extracted from observations.
However, any cognitive system possesses a finite capacity for processing information at a given moment.
As observational and theoretical descriptions become more precise, they approach a threshold where the quantity of information becomes difficult to integrate into coherent decisions or explanations.
This tension between increasing knowledge and finite processing capacity may represent a cognitive manifestation of the same structural limits that appear in physical descriptions.
