The [[Scientific Mosaic|scientific mosaic]] consists of [[Theory|theories]] and [[Question|questions]].[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)]][[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2018)]][[CiteRef::Rawleigh (2018)]][[CiteRef::Sebastien (2016)]] A set of core questions serves to identify As a discipline with a larger set of questions and theories within the mosaic. These core questions are judged by some [[Epistemic Agent| agent]] to be related to one anotherwhole, essential to a discipline, and definitive consists of its boundaries. A discipline typically, of course, includes a much larger number set of accepted questions , and the theories. A set of core which provide answers to those questions suffices to identify these because of the way in , or which those questions presuppose. [[Patton and theories are related to one another. Al-Zayadi (2021)]] Questions form hierarchies, with more specific questions being [[Subquestion| subquestions]] to of more general questions in these hierarchies. Theories also find a place in these hierarchies, since each theory is an attempt to answer a certain question, and each question presupposes certain theories. Because of such hierarchical relations, it is possible for to characterize a discipline by identifying a set of [[Core Question| core questions]]. These core questions are judged by some [[Epistemic Agent| agent]] to be related to identify the entire set one another, essential to a discipline, and definitive of its boundaries. The other questions and theories contained within of a disciplineare subquestions of its core questions.

In order for some A set , as such, can't be part of core a scientific mosaic consisting of theories and questions ''Q'' . We, therefore, take a discipline to exist within the [[Scientific Mosaic| mosaic]], it must be understood as a theory. This theory is called defined by a [[Delineating Theory| delineating theory]]that identifies the set of core questions ''Q'' characterizing that discipline.
