[Book Section]
The work of Ilya Prigogine and Isabelle Stengers exposes a radical asymmetry at the heart of physics: different mathematical formulations of the same problem produce equally valid yet not equivalent representations of matter and the universe.1 This chapter examines how this onto-epistemological bifurcation marks thought with the impossibility to reach past the contingency of present knowledge and yet enables a rigorous logic.
