It refers to the quality of transdisciplinarity, i.e., it is a research strategy that goes beyond disciplinary boundaries in order to create a holistic approach. To be transdisciplinary is to value and take into account each field in order to be able to appreciate everything beyond conventional boundaries.
It can be said to be a continuum of knowledge without barriers that extends without limit to connect all branches of knowledge and endeavor. This presupposes that the existing disciplines are integrated into an overall view in order to study the connections between them and their relations of coordination and subordination.

ORIGIN OF Transdisciplinario
Since 2003 in a conference held at the University of Göttingen it was mentioned that the term Transdisziplinarität (transdisciplinarity) should converge without eliminating the mentioned usages such as Multi and interdisciplinary.

CURIOSITIES OF Transdisciplinario
When discussing the nature of a problem, being transdisciplinary can help to determine the relevant problems and with the research questions a relational knowledge and a permanent review from different points taken from all disciplines is obtained without any limit.
