|Question=Is the process of '''scientific change''' a strictly deterministic process? Will two unconnected communities experience similar changes in their individual '''mosaics'''?
|Topic Type=Descriptive
|Description=The argument that science is a "social construction" begs the question: is science a strictly deterministic process? If it is, then two unconnected communities would experience similar stages in their independent mosaic. If not, then two unconnected communities will not experience similar stages.
