THE YIN-YANG PRINCIPLE AS A HEURISTIC OF INCOMPLETENESS IN PHYSICS

This article is the third in a series. The first established the 
conceptual partition of physics into three epistemically autonomous 
perspectives: observational, relational, and interpretative. Then 
demonstrated that confusion among them generates persistent 
problems. The second examined the limits of doubt and certainty, 
concluding that individual dogmas are inevitable for cognitively 
limited beings, but simultaneous collective dogmas can and should 
be avoided. 
The present article proposes a heuristic principle inspired by the 
Taoist concept of Yin-Yang to operationalize these conclusions within 
the domain of the interpretative perspective. The principle states that 
no scientific interpretation is perfectly complete; apparent perfection 
is a symptom of insufficient examination. As a quality metric, the 
Dialectical Robustness Index is proposed: the quantity of serious 
counterpoints that an interpretation has faced and overcome for 
fundamental reasons, rather than through dogmatic pressure or ad 
hoc protection. 
The article examines historical precedents. The Ionian philosophers 
and the Faraday-Maxwell relationship, and engages with Popper, 
Kuhn, Bachelard, and Einstein-Infeld. It concludes with implications 
for scientific practice and the preparation of the ground for a program 
of reexamining certain interpretative notions in current physics.
