Accept that the phenomenon of element decay exists as a non-scientonomic phenomenon.
The modification was suggested to Scientonomy community by Sanghoon Oh on 1 August 2021.1 The discussion was closed on 21 February 2021 and the modification was not accepted. It was superseded by Sciento-2024-0001, Sciento-2024-0002 and Sciento-2024-0003.
Preamble
TODO: Sanghoon add a preamble (copy-paste your abstract and paraphrase)
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.
Accept the following as necessary indicators of theory decay:
- Agent Continuity: there should be historical evidence that the agent in question continuously existed during the time period under study.
- Change from Theory Acceptance to Unacceptance: there should be clear indications of a theory being accepted at some point and unaccepted at some later point.
- Theory Unacceptance Without Assessment: there should be clear evidence that the theory became unaccepted without any theoretical assessment on the part of the agent.
Also accept that element decay is a non-scientonomic phenomenon.
Theories To Accept
- Element Decay Exists: There is such a thing as element decay.
- Theory Decay Exists: There is such a thing as theory decay.
- Element Decay Is a Non Scientonomic Phenomenon (Oh-2021):
Questions Answered
This modification attempts to answer the following question(s):
- Existence of Element Decay: Does element decay exist?
- Existence of Theory Decay: Does theory decay exist?
- Is Element Decay a Scientonomic Phenomenon: Is element decay a scientonomic phenomenon?
Verdict
The discussion was closed on 21 February 2021 and the modification was not accepted. During the discussion at the 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.
This modification was superseded by Sciento-2024-0001, Sciento-2024-0002 and Sciento-2024-0003. Click on the Discussion tab for comments.
