<logic, mathematics, function, complexity, semantics>, <epistemology, process, knowledge, understanding, concept> process of breaking up a complex concept or expression in order to reveal its simpler constituents, thereby elucidating it implicit meaning. The significance and value of this method is challenged by the paradox that analyses seem bound either to be inadequate or incorrect (if they propose major revisions in our understanding) but trivial and uninformative (if they do not).
