The QQRONA concept - what does it all mean?

Why is QQRONA relevant? And in what areas might it be applied?

Scientific progress depends on our ability to model the world as it is, to give insights into the mechanisms underlying all that we observe around us, which in turn gives us the ability to control and harness naturally occurring processes to our advantage. But to date, we have only managed to apply the priniciples of the scientific method - testability, repeatability, refutability - in disciplines that may loosely be labelled "hard science" - where quantitative measures and predictions rule.
