Can the category of pursuit be a subcategory of acceptance?
When theories are pursued, can this attitude in a community be accounted for as the acceptance of certain sub-theories or meta-theories? Can pursuit be understood as a stage in a long-term temporal process of acceptance? This question deals with whether certain attitudes of a community towards theories can be reduced to a more general attitude of acceptance. This question is to be understood as related to, but distinct from Pursuit and Acceptance, which instead questions whether a theory being Pursued correlates with eventual Acceptance or Rejection.
In the scientonomic context, this question was first formulated by Calahan Janik-Jones in 2018. The question is currently accepted as a legitimate topic for discussion by Scientonomy community.
In Scientonomy, the accepted answer to the question is:
- Pursuit is a distinct epistemic stance that is not reducible to or expressible through acceptance.

Current View
In Scientonomy, the accepted answer to the question is Pursuit as Distinct from Acceptance (Barseghyan-2015).
Pursuit as Distinct from Acceptance (Barseghyan-2015) states: "Pursuit is a distinct epistemic stance that is not reducible to or expressible through acceptance."
As a distinct epistemic stance, theory pursuit is not reducible to acceptance.
