Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle
From Dialogic Design Science

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 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.
