This paper investigates the structural tensions inherent in ontological and logical systems that aim to account for the totality of existence. It suggests that any theoretical framework aiming to explain all phenomena may encounter limitations rooted in the symbiotic relationship between affirmation and negation, the infinite regress of explanation, and analogies drawn from Gödel’s incompleteness theorems. The analysis highlights their possible limitations and conceptual vulnerabilities. It further examines the "privileged" role of logic in shaping human cognition, suggesting that a "Strange Loop" of paradox arising from the "non-logical". Ultimately, this paper summarizes the inherent constraints of human cognition and philosophical theorization. Logically, "truth" appears weak.
