Suggested Modifications

Here are all the modifications suggested by Mercuri:

• Sciento-2019-0013: Accept the existence of method hierarchies and the new definition of method hierarchy as a set of methods where theories that satisfy the requirements of methods that are higher in the hierarchy are preferred to theories that satisfy the requirements of methods that are lower in the hierarchy. Also accept the question of conceptualizing method hierarchies. The modification was suggested to Scientonomy community by Hakob Barseghyan and Mathew Mercuri on 24 December 2019.1 The modification is currently being evaluated; a verdict is pending.

Theories

The following table contains all the theories formulated by Mercuri:

Title	Type	Formulation	Formulated In
Method Hierarchy (Mercuri-Barseghyan-2019)	Definition	A set of methods is said to constitute a hierarchy iff theories that satisfy the requirements of methods that are higher in the hierarchy are preferred to theories that satisfy the requirements of methods that are lower in the hierarchy.	2019
Method Hierarchies Exist (Mercuri-Barseghyan-2019)	Descriptive	There are method hierarchies in the actual process of scientific change.	2019

Questions

Here are all the questions formulated by Mercuri:

• Conceptualizing Method Hierarchies: Should we conceive of a method hierarchy as being composed of individual employed methods/requirements, or should we think of it as constituting one composite method with a system of if-s and else-s, and-s and or-s
• Existence of Method Hierarchies: Do method hierarchies exist?
• Method Hierarchy: What is method hierarchy? How should it be defined?
