Epistemic Action
What is epistemic action? How should it be defined?
An action-based scientonomic perspective of scientific practice necessitates clarifying the notion of epistemic action, i.e. what sorts of actions count as epistemic and what sorts of actions don't.
In the scientonomic context, this term was first used by Joshua Allen in 2023. The term is currently accepted by Scientonomy community.
