– Herman Melville, Moby-Dick
There are no problems for inanimate nature. There is only the transformation of matter and energy. Whether it’s the planet’s loss of atmosphere, star burnout, supernova explosion, black holes, or galaxy collisions, they are not problems for the universe.
The problem can only exist for life – living things. And this problem of the cessation of life, that is death.
Let’s define the connection of the concepts used below: death, problem, obstacle, limit, and frame. The concept of the problem is reduced to the concept of an obstacle. The obstacle to life can only be something that does not allow you to continue the life. Everything that is not a problem, that is, does not lead to the termination of life, is also not an obstacle. Anything that does not stop life could be resources, opportunities, the environment – anything, but not obstacles.

In general, we will call the complex of obstacles as a limit frame
