{{Modification

|Acronym=Sciento
|Summary=Accept that the phenomenon of ''element decay'' exists.
|Date Suggested Year=2024
|Date Suggested Month=February
|Date Suggested Day=21
|Date Suggested Approximate=No
|Authors List=Sanghoon Oh
|Resource=Oh (2021)
|Preamble=Cases of rediscovery in the history of sciences (e.g. Poisson distribution, Aharonov-Bohm effect, Cremonese violins) appear in direct violation of the first law of scientific change. The suggested modification offers an explanation through the phenomenon of element decay, where elements of an agent’s mosaic (such as questions, methods, and theories) cease to be part of the mosaic without any re-evaluation by the agent or any decision to reject that element.
To locate historical instances of theory decay, there should be evidence that the agent under study existed continuously throughout the period under study, that the theory was accepted at some point and unaccepted at some later point, and that the theory left the mosaic without any decision on the part of the agent.
|Modification=Accept that there is ''element decay'', a phenomenon where elements of an agent’s mosaic cease to be part of the mosaic without any re-evaluation by the agent or any decision to reject that element.
