TODO: Paul, add a preamble
Modification
Theories To Accept
- Subquestion (Patton-Al-Zayadi-2021): A question Q is a subquestion of another question Q’, iff any direct answer to Q is also a partial answer to Q’.

- Discipline Acceptance (Patton-Al-Zayadi-2021): A discipline is said to be accepted by an epistemic agent if that agent accepts the core questions specified in the discipline’s delineating theory as well as the delineating theory itself.
.png)
- Delineating Theory (Patton-Al-Zayadi-2021): A second-order theory identifying the set of core questions of a discipline.
.png)
- Discipline (Patton-Al-Zayadi-2021): A discipline is characterized by (1) a non-empty set of core questions Q and (2) the delineating theory stating that Q are the core questions of the discipline.
.png)
- Core Theory (Patton-Al-Zayadi-2021): A core theory of a discipline is a theory presupposed by the discipline’s core questions.
.png)
- Core Question (Patton-Al-Zayadi-2021): A core question of a discipline is a question identified in the discipline’s delineating theory as definitive of the discipline.
.png)
- Subdiscipline (Patton-Al-Zayadi-2021): A discipline A is a subdiscipline of another discipline B, iff the set of questions of A, QA, is a proper subset of the questions of B, QB, i.e. QA ⸦ QB.

Questions To Accept
- Discipline: What is discipline? How should it be defined?
- Mechanism of Discipline Acceptance: What is the mechanism of discipline acceptance? How do disciplines become accepted?
- Mechanism of Discipline Rejection: What is the mechanism of discipline rejection? How do disciplines become rejected?
- Theories Shaping Core Questions: How do theories within a discipline shape and change the core questions of the disciplines?
