In some cases with quantum experiments, some features of the objects disappear. These features we define as a pair of conjugate and complementarity quantities. Such results are not a rarity in quantum studies and this fact makes it possible to use the princi ple of complementarity in various fields of other natural sciences and some applied areas of knowledge (concerning classical objects of knowledge). The author solves this problem by discovering a certain methodology that would be similar to the principle of complementarity but applicable to the objects in cultural and humanitarian sphere as well.
