'''The original Theory of Scientific Change''' (TSC) proposed by Barseghyan in 2015 is a descriptive theory that attempts to explain changes in a [[Scientific Mosaic|scientific mosaic]], i.e. transitions from one [[theory]] to the next and one [[method]] to the next. The current theory of scientific change explains many different aspects set consisting of the process such as [[The Second Law|theory acceptance]] and [[The Third Law|method employment]], [[The First Law|scientific inertia]] and [[The Zeroth Law|compatibility]], [[Mosaic Split and Merge|splitting and merging of scientific mosaics]], [[Scientific Underdeterminism|scientific underdeterminism]], [[Static and Dynamic Methods|changeability of scientific methods]], role of [[Sociocultural Factors|sociocultural factors]], and more. following claims:

== Current View ==The theory of scientific change is a [[Scientonomy|scientometric]] theory of the process of scientific change stated in axiomatic deductive form. It was proposed by Hakob Barseghyan in 2015 in his book ''The Laws of Scientific Change'Ontology'''.[[File:Scientific change.jpg|right|500px]] === Axioms =======Zeroth Law==== [[File: The_Zeroth_Law.png |center|407px]]
