Things do just happen. And sometimes unfortunately so. That’s what makes fathoming actions, experiences and choices on the one hand so complex, on the other so interesting.

C'est ce qui rend l'analyse des actions, expériences, etc.
Je propose cette formulation qui me semble plus fluide que la forme verbale... "C'est ce qui rend l'analyse (ou le déchiffrage/l'interprétation...) d'une part si complexe, d'autre part si intéressante"

essayer de comprendre / chercher à comprendre
fathoming = literally: measuring from the ship the water depth (in fathoms)
here "fathoming" is the action of trying to understand / make sens of actions, experiences and choices (etc.)

: If it meant trying rather than succeeding, the expression "I just can't fathom it" would make no sense. I think I see your problem, but "fathoming" is not trying to fathom, any more than "hearing" is trying to hear or "lying down" is a process.

in this ST it's about the process, not so much the result - trying doesn't imply not succeeding!//IOW this answer does not claim to be a "general purpose translation", it's one tailor made for this ST (As ALL Kudoz answers should be, BTW)

: Je comprends la suggestion qui est implicite mais PAS explicite ds la phrase. Un client pointilleux prrait objecter q n'y a pas de 'stratégies' explicitmnt mentionnées dans le texte original. Autrmt, 'stratégies/approches/modes/techniques' de compréh. OK.
