[[The world has no boundaries]] [[Boundaries are artificial]] > Boundaries are of our own making, and that they can and should be reconsidered for each new discussion, problem, or purpose. > There is no single, legitimate boundary to draw around a system. We have to invent boundaries for clarity and sanity; and boundaries can produce problems when we forget that we’ve artificially created them. The right boundary for thinking about a problem rarely coincides with the boundary of an academic discipline, or with a political boundary --> Too often, universities are living monuments to boundary rigidity.
