The black box of the problem
The black box of a problem is the part of a situation where we see the inputs and outputs but don't understand the mechanism between them.
Definicja
The concept comes from systems thinking, engineering and cybernetics, and in problem solving it means an opaque area. You see something repeating, but you don't know which processes, decisions, or feedbacks produce it. Working with a black box involves observing, making hypotheses, testing and gradually opening the mechanism.

Praktyka i życie
Describe the problem as: what goes into the system, what comes out, what I don't see, and what little test might reveal the mechanism.
Częste błędne rozumienie
It is a mistake to pretend that you understand the mechanism just because you see the result. A common mistake is looking for the culprit instead of mapping the process.
