|Description=Formulated for [[method]]s, the first law states that the implicit expectations employed in theory assessment will continue to be employed until they are replaced by some alternate expectations.
|Resource=Barseghyan (2015)
|Prehistory=This idea is not new to philosophers of science. For example, it is expressed in [[Kuhn (1970a)]]: "scientists behave in the following ways; those modes of behaviour have… the following essential functions; in the absence of an alternative mode that would serve similar functions, scientists should behave essentially as they do if their concern is to improve scientific knowledge."[[CiteRef::Kuhn (1970a)|p.237]] This is similar to our formulation of [[The First Law for Methods (Barseghyan-2015)]], disregarding the normative piece ("scientists should behave").
