Accept the demarcation-acceptance synchronism theorem.
The modification was suggested to Scientonomy community by Patrick Fraser and Ameer Sarwar on 28 December 2018.1 This modification presupposes the acceptance of Sciento-2018-0014 and Sciento-2018-0019. The modification is currently being evaluated; a verdict is pending.
Preamble
The demarcation-acceptance synchronism theorem was proposed by Patrick Fraser and Ameer Sarwar 1. It is a deductive consequence of the law of theory demarcation (Modification: Sciento-2018-0014) and a proposed new definition of theory acceptance (Modification: Sciento-2018-0019). If these two modifications are accepted, then this modification follows.
Modification
Theories To Accept
- Demarcation-Acceptance Synchronism (Fraser-Sarwar-2018): Every theory that becomes accepted satisfies the demarcation criteria employed at the time of acceptance.
Questions Answered
This modification attempts to answer the following question(s):
- Synchronism vs. Asynchronism of Demarcation and Acceptance: Is it the case that acceptance of a theory necessarily implies that the theory also satisfied the demarcation criteria employed at the time of acceptance?
Verdict
The modification is currently being evaluated; a verdict is pending. The modification can only become accepted once modifications Sciento-2018-0014 and Sciento-2018-0019 all become accepted.
