A philosophical essay arguing that the gap between information generation and processing is structural and permanent, not a limit technology will eventually overcome. Drawing on information theory, Islamic philosophy, Aristotle, Zen Buddhism, and the metaphysical ramifications of embodiment in time and space, it makes the case that no system can ever know everything, and that the real task is learning to act well under permanent incompleteness rather than waiting to know enough.
