|Summary=Accept compatibility as a distinct epistemic stance that can be taken towards epistemic elements of all types. Also accept that compatibility is binary, reflexive, and symmetric. Transitivity of compatibility holds only within mosaics, not ''sui generis''in general.

|Preamble=''Compatibility'' is a distinct [[Epistemic Stances|epistemic stance]] that [[Epistemic Agent|agents]] can take towards [[Epistemic Elements - Questions and Theories (Barseghyan-2018)|epistemic elements]]. It is distinct because it is possible to show that an agent can take this stance without necessarily taking others, such as [[Theory Acceptance (Barseghyan-2018)|''acceptance'']]. Although all elements of the mosaic are compatible in principle, there may be unaccepted theories that are either compatible or incompatible with elements in the mosaic. Compatibility is therefore distinct from acceptance, because epistemic agents can evaluate the compatibility of unaccepted theories with one another or with accepted theories.
