Sciento-2017-0013 | 19 May 2017 | Accept that communities can consist of other communities, i.e. that there is such a thing as a sub-community. | Open | |

Sciento-2017-0015 | 19 May 2017 | Provided that the distinction between epistemic and non-epistemic communities is accepted, accept that a non-epistemic community can consist of epistemic communities. | Open | |
Sciento-2018-0013 | 28 December 2018 | Accept scientificity as a distinct epistemic stance that epistemic agents can take towards theories. Also accept several questions concerning the definition of scientificity and the applicability of scientificity to other epistemic elements, such as methods and questions, as legitimate topics of scientonomic inquiry. | Open | |

Sciento-2019-0016 | 26 December 2019 | Accept the definition of epistemic tool, stating that a physical object or system is an epistemic tool for an epistemic agent, when there is a procedure by which the tool can provide an acceptable source of knowledge for answering some question under the employed method of that agent. | Open | |
Sciento-2019-0017 | 26 December 2019 | Accept the definitions of authority delegation, and its subtypes, that generalize the currently accepted definitions to apply to all epistemic agents, rather than only communities. | Open | |
Sciento-2019-0018 | 26 December 2019 | Accept that the relationship of tool reliance can obtain between epistemic agents and epistemic tools.
