Discipline Acceptance
What is discipline acceptance? How should it be defined?
An epistemic agent can accept or reject a discipline. It is important, therefore, to understand what this acceptance amounts to, i.e. what happens at the level of individual epistemic elements when an agent accepts a discipline.
In the scientonomic context, this term was first used by Paul Patton and Cyrus Al-Zayadi in 2021. The term is currently accepted by Scientonomy community.
