The [[Scientific Mosaic (Barseghyan-2015)|initial notion of ''scientific mosaic'']] worked well with the original ontology of epistemic elements suggested by Barseghyan in [[Barseghyan (2015)|''The Laws of Scientific Change'']] as well as the modified ontology suggested by [[Zoe Sebastien|Sebastien]] in [[Sebastien (2016)|"The Status of Normative Propositions in the Theory of Scientific Change"]], since in both ontologies [[Theory Is a Subtype of Epistemic Element (Barseghyan-2015)|theories]] and [[Method Is a Subtype of Epistemic Element (Barseghyan-2015)|methods]] are the only two fundamental types of epistemic elements.[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)]][[CiteRef::Sebastien (2016)]]
With the acceptance of [[William Rawleigh|Rawleigh]]'s new ontology of epistemic elements which added questions as a new [[Question Is a Subtype of Epistemic Elements - Theories Methods and Questions Element (Rawleigh-2018)|new ontology type of epistemic elements]] which added [[Question|questionselement]] as a new fundamental epistemic element, it became apparent that the definition of scientific mosaic should be adjusted to include questions.[[CiteRef::Rawleigh (2018)]] [[Scientific Mosaic (Barseghyan-2018)|One such definition]] was suggested by Barseghyan in his [[Barseghyan (2018)|"Redrafting the Ontology of Scientific Change"]].[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2018)]] The new definition became [[Modification:Sciento-2018-0009|became accepted]] in 2020. As this definition does not refer to any epistemic elements explicitly, it is in principle compatible with any future ontology insofar as that ontology involves the notions of ''acceptance'' and ''employment''.
