|Subject=Norm Employment

|Topic Type=Descriptive

|Description=As norms of any type - methods, ethical norms, aesthetic norms, etc. - can change through time, it is important to inquire as to ''how'' exactly they change. A proper answer to this question helps to shed light on one of the key aspects of the mechanism of scientific change.

|History=Norms only became part of the scientonomic ontology in 2017 with the acceptance of [[Modification:Sciento-2017-0001|Sebastien's modification]] that introduced normative theories one of as types of theory. With the acceptance of [[Modification:Sciento-2018-0006|Barseghyan's redrafted ontology]] in 2019, methods became subsumed under the category of normative theory and employment became a stance that epistemic agents could take towards norms of all types, not just methods. This should have suggested the question of the mechanism of norm employment; yet, as formulating questions is often a creative process, it wasn't until [[Rawleigh (2022)|Rawleigh's 2022 paper]] that the question was explicitly formulated, together with a formulation of an answer to it - [[The Law of Norm Employment (Rawleigh-2022)|the law of norm employment]].
