Definition

Collection of all instances of human inquiry where what is being sought is a deeper understanding of the nature of some Thing. The subject of investigation could in principle be any one of a wide variety of entities: a philosophical problem, a criminal act, a natural phenomenon, etc.. The phenomenon under investigation may be actual or merely putative within the context of the representation. Also, the nature of the thing being investigated may be substantially different from what the investigatingAgent believes it to be.
