{{Theory|Title=Epistemic Elements - Theories Methods and Questions|Theory Type=Descriptive|Formulation Text=The three classes This theory consists of elements that can undergo scientific change are theories, methods, and questions.the following claims:|Formulation File=Ontology of Epistemic Elements (Rawleigh-2018).png|Topic=Epistemic Elements|Authors List=William Rawleigh,|Formulated Year=2018|Description=This formulation expands the ontology proposed by * [[Theory Is a Subtype of Epistemic Elements - Theories and Methods Element (SebastienBarseghyan-20172015)|Sebastien]] by introducing ''[[Question|questions]]'' as a separate epistemic element not reducible to either [[Theory|theories]] or * [[Method|methods]]. Thus, theories, methods, and questions are the three basic elements that undergo scientific change. The addition of questions to the ontology of epistemic elements is intended to bring the accepted ontology of epistemic elements more closely in line with Is a) actual scientific practice, in which questions seem to be distinct elements, and b) the ontology implicit in the [[Main Page|Encyclopedia Subtype of Scientonomy]]. The ontology implicit in the Encyclopedia of Scientonomy is arranged such that every theory is associated with a topic, which the theory is meant to answer. The addition of questions to the ontology of epistemic elements allows the integration of topics into our theoretical ontology, which is not presently equipped to do so.|Resource=Rawleigh Epistemic Element (2018Barseghyan-2015)|Page Status=Needs Editing}}{{Acceptance Record|Community=Community:Scientonomy|Accepted From Era=CE|Accepted From Year=2018|Accepted From Month=September|Accepted From Day=26|Accepted From Approximate=No|Acceptance Indicators=The ontology became accepted as a result of the acceptance of the respective [[Modification:Sciento-2018-0002|suggested modification]].|Still Accepted=No|Accepted Until Era=CE|Accepted Until Year=2019|Accepted Until Month=September|Accepted Until Day=1|Accepted Until Approximate=No|Rejection Indicators=The ontology became rejected when it was [[Modification:Sciento-2018-0006|replaced]] by * [[Question Is a Subtype of Epistemic Elements - Questions and Theories Element (BarseghyanRawleigh-2018)]].}}
