Whether it's nature, the night sky, a book, or our interactions with one another: order and disorder, definiteness and indefiniteness seem to be inherent characteristics of our world. Definiteness reflects lawfulness and nature's desire for order, while non-ordered elements do not let themselves be described by laws, in this way conveying indefiniteness. We encounter this indefiniteness as a shadow lurking behind every corner of the world. And even if for us human beings - driven as we are by our goal-oriented actions and plans -indefiniteness is a thorn in our side that we'd like to eliminate, it becomes increasingly important as more and more value is given to definiteness. The more elaborately we invest in protective mechanisms to repress this indefiniteness - for example in health or unemployment insurance - the clearer it becomes how difficult this is to achieve
Nonetheless, dealing with indefiniteness intelligently is the basis for successfully confronting our present and future tasks. Indefiniteness can neither be eradicated from life nor eliminated from the universe. On the contrary, evaluating and describing it mathematically is currently the object of the most intensive research. With such concepts as fear and freedom, indefiniteness reveals itself in our everyday lives. Thanks to indefiniteness, today's defeat can become tomorrow's victory. In indefiniteness as in art, our freedom is demanded.
