  This article explores the metaphor of Science as provider of sharp images of
our environment, using the epistemological framework of Objective Cognitive
Constructivism. These sharp images are conveyed by precise scientific
hypotheses that, in turn, are encoded by mathematical equations. Furthermore,
this article describes how such knowledge is produced by a cyclic and recursive
develop, perfection and reinforcement process, leading to the emergence of
eigen-solutions characterized by the four essential properties of precision,
stability, separability and composability. Finally, this article discusses the
role played by ontology and metaphysics in the scientific production process,
and in which sense the resulting knowledge can be considered objective.
