|Preamble=TODO: Add preambleThe ''law of theory demarcation'' argues that the changes in the stance of scientificty of epistemic agents towards theories follows systematic patters. In particular, if a theory conclusively satisfies the demarcation criteria of the method employed at the time, it becomes scientific; if it conclusively fails to satisfy the demarcation criteria, remains unscientific, and if assessment is inconclusive, the theory’s status can become scientific, unscientific, or uncertain. Given that conclusive satisfaction of the demarcation criteria preclude unscientific and uncertain status and conclusive failure to satisfy it preclude scientific and unscientific status of the theory, the ''law of theory demarcation'' is non-tautological.
