0.6 — Unknowable Frontiers

Every rhythm has a limit —
a point where its coherence fades,
its influence weakens,
Or our ability to track it breaks.

Definition
In RRM, an unknowable frontier is any boundary beyond which measurement, interaction, or prediction becomes impossible — Either because the rhythm itself dissolves or because we can no longer maintain resonance with it.

Properties

• Coherence horizon — where a rhythm can no longer sustain closure.

• Perceptual horizon — where instruments or senses lose detection.

• Causal horizon — where no influence can reach us in time to matter.

• Dynamic nature — frontiers shift as rhythms change or our tools improve.

Significance in RRM
Frontiers define the current boundaries of knowledge and interaction. They remind us: not seeing is not the same as not existing. They frame the space where science can act today, and hint at what lies beyond its present reach.

Examples

• Event horizons of black holes — causal frontiers.

• The observable universe — a perceptual frontier.

• Loss of coherence in unstable particles — a coherence horizon.

Role in the Model
Unknowable frontiers are not failures in RRM — They are features of reality itself. They mark where rhythms end, or where we must wait until our tools can follow them further.

The horizon is not the end of reality.
It is only the edge of knowing.
