In this interview, Dmitry Nikolaenko discusses the main ideas of his monograph Learning to Understand the Object: Scientific Recognition Architecture, devoted to the investigation of complex dynamic natural processes. The central theme is the limitations of fragmented scientific knowledge and the potential of a cognitive standard that allows researchers to keep the evolving object in focus and establish connections between findings from different specialisms. The interview addresses fundamental gaps in knowledge, the responsibility of experts and the need to assess scientific work on its merits, independently of bibliometric indicators. Particular attention is given to training international research teams, using participants’ native languages and the potential of artificial intelligence for accurate translation of scientific texts and collaborative work. The educational structure of the monograph and prospects for developing specialised expert systems are also discussed. The practical significance of the proposed approach is illustrated through examples of dioxin contamination in Vietnam and New Zealand, changes in climate and sinkholes. The interview emphasises the need to account for the independent dynamics of natural processes and to examine them within a broad temporal context
