Science is often presented as the systematic discovery of what the world is. Thispaper argues that such a framing is incomplete and, in its strongest forms, dangerous.Scientific understanding advances not by labeling phenomena, but by asking why structures exist at all, how they arise and persist under constraint, where their limits lie,and under what conditions they collapse. Mathematics and logic are interpreted notas repositories of truth, but as high-precision tools for regulating variance under loss.The future of science depends not on smarter answers, but on answers that understandtheir constraints and resist collapse.
