== Prehistory ==
If the gist of the theory can be traced back to a pre-scientonomic philosopher or scientist, this is the section where the credits are to be given. For instance, the ''Prehistory'' section of [[The Third Law (Barseghyan-2015)]] describes how Kuhn, Laudan and other classics argued that our beliefs about the world shape our methods of theory evaluation. Similarly, the Prehistory section of [[The Zeroth Law (Harder-2015)]] outlines some of the major approaches to compatibility of elements within a belief system. Thus, classics of the philosophy of science, such as [[Karl Popper]], [[Thomas Kuhn]], [[Imre Lakatos]], [[Paul Feyerabend]] and [[Larry Laudan]] are a great resources resource for this section. Also check the references cited in respective scientonomic literature.
This section has the potential to be the largest and least bounded, due to the fact that many scientonomic theories could be traced began to the classics of philosophy of science. So it is important to keep this section reasonably concise and only include those ideas that are directly relevant to the theory.
