Changes

|Prehistory=In modern times philosophers have held varied views about how best to express the structure and content of scientific theories and about whether or not they are wholly reducible to sets of propositions. [[CiteRef::Winther (2016)]] A more complete discussion may be found in the definitional topic, [[Theory]].

|History=Scientonomy has, so far, accepted a definition of theories based the ability to state them as lists of propositions. In the original view of theories, proposed by Hakob Barseghyan in 2015, a theory was defined as a set of propositions that attempt to describe something. In early 2017 it was replaced by a definition proposed by Sebastian in 2016, which modified the definition to include both descriptive and normative propositions.
