|Community=Community:Scientonomy
|Acronym=Sciento
|Summary=Provided that the notion of ''authority delegation'' is accepted, accept the following notions of ''mutual authority delegation'' and ''one-sided authority delegation, '' as subtypes of authority delegation:.
|Date Suggested Year=2016
|Date Suggested Month=September
|Authors List=Nicholas Overgaard, Mirka Loiselle,
|Resource=Overgaard and Loiselle (2016)
|Preamble=TODOThe different kinds of relationships that can exist between any two scientific communities make it necessary to distinguish between two subtypes of authority delegation: preamble''mutual'' and ''one-sided''.Some scientific communities, such as physicists and biologists, delegate authority to each other over different topics. In other instances, however, a community will accept theories of another community without the latter community accepting any of the theories of the former; such is the case with philosophers and physicists, for example.|Modification=Accept the notions of ''mutual authority delegation'' and ''one-sided authority delegation'' as subtypes of authority delegation. {{PrintDiagramFile|diagram file=Authority Delegation Taxonomy (Overgaard-Loiselle-2016).png}}
|To Accept=Mutual Authority Delegation (Overgaard-Loiselle-2016), One-sided Authority Delegation (Overgaard-Loiselle-2016),

|Date Assessed Approximate=No
|Verdict Rationale=Following a period of discussion, it was finally agreed that "the current definitions of authority delegation, mutual authority delegation, and one-sided authority delegation, despite their problems, are currently the best available such definitions".<sup>[[Modification_talk:Sciento-2016-0004#comment-69|c1]]</sup> It was noted that these definitions don't take into the account the possibility of ''conditional'' authority delegation, where community ''A'' is prepared to accept the findings of another community on a certain topic only if these findings also satisfy some additional criteria imposed by community ''A''. It was argued that there might be cases where a community's reliance on the findings of another community might be "conditional in ways that the current authority delegation definition is too restrictive to encompass".<sup>[[Modification_talk:Sciento-2016-0004#comment-37|c2]]</sup> The idea of conditional delegation was found pursuit-worhty.<sup>[[Modification_talk:Sciento-2016-0004#comment-68|c3]]</sup> It was also stressed that these definitions are only the first step towards a deeper understanding of the mechanism of authority delegation. Scientonomists were advised to pursue the idea of deducing "theorems concerning theory acceptance and method employment in delegating mosaics".<sup>[[Modification_talk:Sciento-2016-0004#comment-24|c4]]</sup>
