|History=Within the scientonomic context, it was initially unclear whether normative propositions (such as those of methodology or ethics) fell within the scope of scientonomy and could hold a place within a scientific mosaic. The problem became acute when ''the paradox of normative propositions'' was identified by Joel Burkholder in 2014.[[CiteRef::Burkholder (2014)]] As a result, in [[Barseghyan (2015)|''The Laws of Scientific Change'']] Barseghyan left the question of the status of normative propositions open, by noting that further theoretical work coupled with historical evidence would be needed to settle the issue.[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)|p. 60]]
