摘要：

A number of systemic theories appear to be converging in conclusion. The conclusion is that things are inherently unknowable to the human mind. People are coming to know of the unknowable. This paper introduces such ideas in the context of systemic practice. Implications for efficiency, effectiveness, and ethical matters are discussed.
