The system which both establishes and enforces the limits in the approach he calls a "paradigm". Some things observed will be discarded by scientists in all times and places as "irrelevant", this is the very manner in which science works : it's an effort in focus, in order to progress you have to concentrate on a particular point. Surely during the course of time things that used to be central become banal and thus ignored, whereas things that were deemed irrelevant and thus ignored become the focus of scientific attention. This is as it should be. However, at all points in the process science works by not being open to the sharing of information. Science works by being quite opaque, not completely but selectively, science is if you will that famous "semi-permeable membrane".
