 |Question=How do ''methods'' become ''employed'' by a community in theory assessment?
 |Topic Type=Descriptive
+|Description=When the classical philosophy of science finally came to terms with the fact that methods of theory assessment do in fact change through time, the question became how exactly they change. Since circa 1980, explaining the process of transitions from one employed method to the next has been one of the most challenging tasks for any theory of scientific change. A proper answer to this key question helps to understand one of the key aspects of scientific change.

 |Prehistory=Prehistory here
 |History=In the context of scientonomy the answer to this question has been traditionally provided by ''the third law''. Until 2016 it was the third law as formulated by [[Hakob Barseghyan]].[[CiteRef::Barseghyan (2015)|p. 54]]
