Cognition, Science, and the Limits of Knowledge – A Cartography

Cognition defines the horizon of all knowledge: what can be known, represented, or formalized depends on the stabilization of information within finite networks. This cartography synthesizes insights from nine previous texts and introduces further clarifications on the biological and structural basis of cognition, including stabilized cellular organization and dynamic, constrained replication. It maps the boundaries of intelligibility, revealing where science, mathematics, and thought themselves meet the limits of human and electronic cognition. By tracing how patterns stabilize, replicate, and adapt, this framework situates understanding as both an achievement of insight and a recognition of cognitive limits.
