A fact that hasn't yet found the right reframe.
means A question, obstacle, or situation that needs to be worked out or solved.
from From Greek 'problema,' meaning something thrown forward — built from 'pro' (forward) plus 'ballein' (to throw), the same root that gives us 'ballistic.' A problem was originally a task or riddle literally 'thrown out' in front of you — by a teacher, a rival, or fate — for you to deal with. The sense of 'thing hurled at you to handle' has barely changed in a few thousand years.
