Abstract:	This technical report is a document prepared as a deliverable [D4. 3 Report of the Interlinkages and forecasting prototype tool] of a EU project - DECOIN Project No. 044428 - FP6-2005-SSP-5A. The text is divided into 4 sections: (1) this short introductory section explains the purpose of the report; (2) the second section provides a general discussion of a systemic problem found in existing quantitative analysis of sustainability. It addresses the epistemological implications of complexity, which entails the need of dealing with the existence of Multiple-Scales and non-equivalent narratives (multiple dimensions/attributes) to be used to define sustainability issues. There is an unavoidable tension between a "steady-state view" (= the perception of what is going on now - reflecting a PAST --.
