Kye Palider

Kye Palider is a Canadian scientonomist notable for his work on epistemic reasons and the diagrammatic notation for visualizing belief systems.

Suggested Modifications

Here are all the modifications suggested by Palider:

• Sciento-2019-0009: Accept the definition of implication as a logical transition from one theory to another. The modification was suggested to Scientonomy community by Kye Palider on 23 December 2019.1 The modification is currently being evaluated; a verdict is pending.
• Sciento-2019-0010: Accept the new definitions of sufficient reason, reason, support, and normative inference. The modification was suggested to Scientonomy community by Kye Palider on 23 December 2019.1 The modification is currently being evaluated; a verdict is pending.
• Sciento-2019-0011: Accept the sufficient reason theorem and its deduction from the definition of sufficient reason and the second law. The modification was suggested to Scientonomy community by Kye Palider on 23 December 2019.1 The modification is currently being evaluated; a verdict is pending.

Theories

The following table contains all the theories formulated by Palider:

Title	Type	Formulation	Formulated In
Implication (Palider-2019)	Definition	A logical transition from one theory to another.	2019
Sufficient Reason theorem (Palider-2019)	Descriptive	A theory becomes accepted by an agent, when an agent has a sufficient reason for accepting it.	2019
Sufficient Reason (Palider-2019)	Definition	An agent takes theory A to be a sufficient reason for (accepting) theory B iff the following four conditions are met: (1) The agent accepts A. (2) The agent accepts that A → B. (3) The agent employs ε. (4) The agent accepts (ε, A, A→B) →ε (Should accept B).	2019
Reason (Palider-2019)	Definition	An agent takes theory A to be a reason for theory B iff the agent accepts that A→B, employs ε, and accepts (ε, A, A→B) →ε (Should accept B).	2019
Support (Palider-2019)	Definition	An agent takes theory A to be supporting theory B iff the agent accepts A and accepts that A→B.	2019
Normative Inference (Palider-2019)	Definition	An agent takes theory A to normatively infer theory B iff the agent accepts A, accepts that A→B, and accepts (ε, A, A→B) →ε (Should accept B).	2019

Questions

Here are all the questions formulated by Palider:

• Application of Scientonomy to Delayed Rejection: Can Scientonomy explain the phenomena of delayed rejections, if they exist? Is the law of compatibility sufficient to explain them? Do delayed rejections violate the First Law or the other laws?
• Associations of Reason: How is the class of reason associated with other classes (and itself)? What aggregation, composition, or other association relations can exist between reasons, as well as between a reason and instances of other classes?
• Disjointness of Reason: What other classes is the class of reason disjoint with, i.e. classes that don't share any instances with reason?
• Existence of Delayed Rejection: Do delayed rejections exist?
• Existence of Reason: Does a reason exist?
• Hierarchy of Theories: Is there a hierarchy of theories that determines hierarchical authority delegation, hierarchical anomaly-tolerance, compatibility criteria or theory acceptance criteria?
• Implication: What is implication? How should it be defined?
• Normative Inference: What is normative inference? How should it be defined?
• Reason: What is reason? How should it be defined?
• Subtypes of Reason: What are the subtypes of a reason?
• Sufficient Reason: What is sufficient reason? How should it be defined?
• Sufficient Reason and Theory Acceptance: What role do sufficient reasons play in theory acceptance?
• Supertypes of Reason: What are the supertypes of a reason?
• Support: What is support? How should it be defined?
• Theory Acceptance without Sufficient Reason: How do theories become accepted without a sufficient reason, i.e. in the cases of circularity or theories without a reason?
