# Nested, recursive metasystems * Each next recursion is profoundly, conceptually, and linguistically different from the one(s) it includes and the one(s) that include it. Understanding is impossible in the terms of adjacent levels. * The wave length is significantly longer at each more inclusive recursion. Things don’t make sense, may not even be sensed, if the wrong time span/wave length is applied. When modeling systems, we must take great care to distinguish relationships which cross metasystemic boundaries from those relationships that connect parts of systems or connect to other systems within any given recursion.
This is more subtle than it may first appear. Lack of awareness or confusing these distinctions is the source of many of our intractable problems.
Metasystem strategies are profoundly different from systemic strategies. **Metasystemic strategies are capable of dissolving intractable problems.**
This ability to dissolve problems makes it worthwhile to try and understand what I am feebly attempting to point toward.
