|Preamble=TODO: Sanghoon add a preamble Cases of rediscovery in the history of sciences (copye.g. Poisson distribution, Aharonov-paste your abstract Bohm effect, Cremonese violins) appear in direct violation of the first law of scientific change. The suggested modification offers an explanation through the non-scientific phenomenon of element decay, where elements of an agent’s mosaic (such as questions, methods, and paraphrasetheories)cease to be part of the mosaic without any re-evaluation by the agent or any decision to reject that element.  To locate historical instances of theory decay, there should be evidence that the agent under study existed continuously throughout the period under study, that the theory was accepted at some point and unaccepted at some later point, and that the theory left the mosaic without any decision on the part of the agent.
|Modification=Accept that there is ''element decay'', a phenomenon where elements of an agent’s mosaic cease to be part of the mosaic without any re-evaluation by the agent or any decision to reject that element.
Also accept that element decay is a non-scientonomic phenomenon.
|To Accept=Element Decay Exists, Element Decay Is a Non Scientonomic Phenomenon (Oh-2021), Theory Decay Exists

|Verdict Rationale=During the discussion at the [[Scientonomy Workshop 2024|2024 scientonomy workshop]], several participants raised a concern that the original modification makes several sufficiently distinct claims that must be evaluated separately. Specifically, it was agreed that the modification essentially consists of three suggestions:* accept the existence of element decay;* accept the indicators of element decay;* accept that element decay is a non scientonomic phenomenon.A vote was taken and by the 2/3 majority it was decided to split this modification into three.|Verdict Chart=|Superseded By=Modification:Sciento-2024-0001, Modification:Sciento-2024-0002, Modification:Sciento-2024-0003
