Changes

|Preamble=Since the stance of scientificity can be taken towards theories, it is important for theoretical scientonomy to explain how this stances changes through time. The ''law of theory demarcation'' argues that we suggest here is meant to provide such an explanation. The law states that the changes in scientificty of a theory depends crucially on the stance employed ''criteria of scientificty of epistemic agents towards theories follows systematic pattersdemarcation''. In particular, if a theory conclusively satisfies the demarcation criteria of the method employed at the time, it becomes scientific; if it conclusively fails to satisfy the demarcation criteria, remains unscientific, and if assessment is inconclusive, the theory’s status can become scientific, unscientific, or uncertain. Given that conclusive satisfaction of the demarcation criteria preclude precludes unscientific and uncertain status and conclusive failure to satisfy it preclude scientific and unscientific status of the theory, the ''law of theory demarcation'' is non-tautological.
