Knowledge about knowledge—the systematic study of what knowledge is, how it's produced, how it's validated, how it's transmitted, and how it relates to other forms of [understanding]. Metaknowledge encompasses all the meta-fields that take knowledge as their object: epistemology, metascience, sociology of knowledge, history of knowledge, [cognitive science] of knowledge, and the various "-ologies of science" that examine knowledge production from different angles. It asks meta-level questions: What are the limits of knowledge? How do different knowledge systems relate? How is knowledge power? How does knowledge change over time? What counts as knowledge in different contexts? Metaknowledge is knowledge reflecting on itself—the attempt to understand [understanding], to know knowing. It's what happens when knowledge turns its gaze inward and asks not just what it knows but what it means to know.
