|Description=Like the [[Demarcation Criteria|demarcation ]] and [[Acceptance Criteria|acceptance criteracriteria]], the compatibility criteria are can be part of an epistemic communityagent's employed method of the time. The community uses this An epistemic agent employs these criteria to determine whether two elements -- (e.g. methods, theories, or questions -- ) are mutually compatibleor incompatible, i.e. whether they can be simultaneously part of the agent's mosaic. This criteira In principle, these criteria can be used employed to determine the compatibility of elements present in the mosaic, as well as those outside of it(e.g. Indeed, scientists often think about whether a proposed theory is compatible with the theories actually accepted at the time. Moreover, the compatibility criteria is strictly between two elements, i.e., it tells the community whether any pair of elements is compatible. However, if element A is compatible with B, and B is compatible with C, then by transitivity A is compatible with C. As a result, a mosaic is a set of mutually compatible elements. In this way, the compatibility of the mosaic of a given community can be understood in terms of the compatibility of its constituent elements).
