'''Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle''' states that there is inherent uncertainty in the act of measuring a variable of a particle. Commonly applied to the position and momentum of a particle, the principle states that the more precisely the position is known the more uncertain the momentum is and vice versa. | '''Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle''' states that there is inherent uncertainty in the act of measuring a variable of a particle.

Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle should not be confused with how | Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle should not be confused with how [[Second-order cybernetics]] is understood in [[Dialogic Design Science]] or the field of cybernetics more generally. While [[Werner Heisenberg]]'s uncertainty principle has profound implications for quantum theory, it cannot be applied in the science of cognition. [[Heinz von Foerster]]'s [[Second-order cybernetics]] includes the observer in the domain of science. | ||
