Title:

Enter a short title for this association. Two or more associations can have the same title. To distinguish between them, the system will add the name of the authors and year to the page name. IMPORTANT: Please do NOT include the names of the authors or the year, as these will be added automatically.

Author(s):

Who are the authors of this formulation? If the author is not in the list, please first add the author in Author category.

Year of Formulation:

When was this theory first formulated?

Left Class:

An association links two classes - a "left" and a "right" one (the assignations to left and right are arbitrary). Indicate the "left" class here. If the term is not in the list, please first add it in the Definitional Topic category.

Question Acceptance
Right Class:

Indicate the "right" class here. If the term is not in the list, please first add it in the Definitional Topic category.

Formulation Text:

Give the exact formulation of the theory here. IMPORTANT: Please avoid any wiki markup here, such as references, or wiki links.

Formulation File:

Often formulations need to appear in a standard box with a title and text. Select or upload the image for this formulation.

Association Type:

Aggregation is a Has-a relationship, where one class can exist independent of another. A composition is a Part-of relationship, where the part cannot exist independent of the whole. For all other types of relations, select "Association".

Association Direction:

This is important for aggregation and composition relations: the direction is always from the "child" class to the "parent" class, from the "part" class to the "whole" class, and from the "element" class to the "aggregate" class.

Left-to-Right: the right class is the parent (e.g. in "A theory is an answer to a question", the question is the parent, so the direction should be Left-to-Right).

Right-to-Left: the left class is the parent (e.g. in "A theory can be presuppsoed by a question", the theory is the parent, so the direction should be Right-to-Left.).

Left Role:

What role does the left class play in this association? On class diagrams, this label will appear on the connector next to the left class (e.g. in "A theory is an answer to a question", the role of a theory is "an answer to" or "answers").

Right Role:

What role does the right class play in this association? On class diagrams, this label will appear on the connector next to the left class (e.g. in "A question presupposes theories", the role of a theory is "a presupposition" or "presupposed").

Left Multiplicity:

How many instances of the left class can be in association with an instance of a right class? E.g. 0..*, 1..*, 0..1

Right Multiplicity:

How many instances of the right class can be in association with an instance of a left class? E.g. 0..*, 1..*, 0..1

Description:

Broader History:

Optional. Use only if this formulation somehow owes to discussions outside of the scientonomic tradition. Otherwise leave empty.

Scientonomic History:

Optional. Use only if this formulation is strongly related to previous scientonomic formulations. NOTE: Do not list what theories this theory came to replace as that will be done automatically by the encyclopedia.
