|Question=What is the mechanism of '''theory pursuit''', if any? How do theories become ''pursued'' by communities? Is it purely determined by sociocultural factors or is there an epistemic element to it as well?
|Topic Type=Descriptive
|Description=The scope of scientonomy encompasses the process of [[Theory Acceptance|theory acceptance]], whereas the question of how theories become [[Theory Pursuit|pursued]] is currently not within the scope of theoretical scientonomy. However, in principle, it might be interesting to see if there is any logic to the process of theory pursuit. Theory pursuit is heavily influenced by sociocultural factors which can affect incentive structures and constrain the pursuit of various theories. However, is it solely determined by sociocultural factors or are there epistemological aspects to theory pursuit as well?
