|Description=This formulation expands the ontology proposed by [[Epistemic Elements - Theories and Methods (Sebastien-2017)|Sebastien]] by introducing ''[[Question|questions]]'' as a separate epistemic element not reducible to either [[Theory|theories]] or [[Method|methods]]. Thus, theories, methods, and questions are the three basic elements that undergo scientific change.
 
 
The addition of questions to the ontology of epistemic elements is intended to bring the accepted ontology of epistemic elements more closely in line with a) actual scientific practice, in which questions seem to be distinct elements, and b) the ontology implicit in the [[Main Page|Encyclopedia of Scientonomy]]. The ontology implicit in the Encyclopedia of Scientonomy is arranged such that every theory is associated with a topic, which the theory is meant to answer. The addition of questions to the ontology of epistemic elements allows the integration of topics into our theoretical ontology, which is not presently equipped to do so.
