Patch in terms of the logical model? Or what do you mean?

The underlying ideas or reality are larger than what models are capable of containing. They often go too far. The indescribable is just that, difficult to describe. Just when you think you have nailed it, something else tells you that you haven't.

I don't think I'm following this. Why would models have to go too far? Personally, I'm content with seeing the limits of models and just explore and refine more over time by analyzing more concrete data for them. This includes paradigm shifts for models, updating and changing them to fundamentally different models. (Not too often, only when enough analysis of enough data necessitates it.) You cannot nail the Absolute Truth anyway, just nice to try and get closer :)
