Mechanism of Method Rejection
When does an employed method become rejected?
In addressing the question of whether methods are static or dynamic, a theory of scientific change must also address the circumstances under which a community would alter their employed method. Furthermore, this question seeks to describe what happens to other elements in the mosaic when a community undergoes such a change.
In the scientonomic context, this question was first formulated by Hakob Barseghyan in 2016. The question is currently accepted as a legitimate topic for discussion by Scientonomy community.
In Scientonomy, the accepted answer to the question is:
- A method ceases to be employed only when other methods that are incompatible with the method become employed.

Current View
In Scientonomy, the accepted answer to the question is Method Rejection theorem (Barseghyan-2015).
Method Rejection theorem (Barseghyan-2015) states: "A method ceases to be employed only when other methods that are incompatible with the method become employed."
According to the method rejection theorem, a method ceases to be employed only when other methods that are incompatible with it become employed.
