|Question=There appear to be cases where a change Is it the case that changes in one of the definition elements of a certain concept may mosaic can have a "ripple effect " on other accepted theories; do these "ripple" changes exhibit the same patterns as other instances rest of theory changethe mosaic?
|Topic Type=Descriptive
|Description=As an element of a mosaic undergoes modification, it seems that respectively other elements that are dependent elements should on this element can also undergo change too. The extent and consequences of this holism have yet For instance, there appear to be considered cases where a change in scientonomythe ''definition'' of a certain concept may have a ripple effect on other accepted theories which use that concept. Our concern The question is whether there is the role of this such a thing as "ripple effect in scientific change " and , if so, whether or not it warrants change in our current conceptions. Furthermore, these "ripple" changes are largely dependent on our theory exhibit the same patterns as other instances of meaning and whether we interpret it as sense or reference.scientific change?
For example, suppose a community accepts a theory T<sub>1</sub> which describes the set of planets as Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, and theory P holds that all planets revolve in ellipses. Now suppose a theory T<sub>2</sub>, describing the set of planets as that of T<sub>1</sub> and also including Neptune, replaces T<sub>1</sub>. While it is clear that theory T has undergone a scientific change, can the same be said of theory P? Would considering the change in reference of theory P to be a scientific change as described by the [[Theory Rejection theorem (Barseghyan-2015)|Theory Rejection Theorem]] be a violation of the laws of scientific change?
The extent and consequences of this alleged holism have yet to be considered in scientonomy. Our concern is the role of this ripple effect in scientific change and whether or not it warrants change in our current conceptions.
