Criteria for determining whether a theory is ''acceptable'' or ''unacceptable.'' +
Criteria for determining whether a theory is ''acceptable'' or ''unacceptable.'' +
A group that does not have a collective intentionality. +
A group that does not have a collective intentionality. +
The commentators of suggested modifications are allowed to suggest reformulations of the original formulations in the comments. By default, the new formulation should bear the original author’s name, unless the author decides to give credit to those who significantly contributed to the new reformulation. +
At the level of metatheory, the relevant evidence for assessing a scientonomic theory ''ought to be'' the facts relating to the state of the ''scientific mosaic'' and its ''transitions''. The complete list of relevant phenomena that ought to be considered can ''only'' be identified for a specific scientonomic theory. +

A [[Community|community]] can [[Authority Delegation|delegate authority]] to another community. +
A [[Question|question]] can presuppose [[Theory|theories]]. A [[Theory|theory]] is an answer to a [[Question|question]]. +

The employment of new methods can ''be'' but is not ''necessarily'' a result of the acceptance of new theories. +
Community A is said to be delegating authority over topic ''x'' to community B ''iff'' (1) community A accepts that community B is an expert on topic ''x'' and (2) community A will accept a theory on topic ''x'' if community B says so. +
Epistemic agent A is said to be delegating authority over question ''x'' to epistemic agent B ''iff'' (1) agent A accepts that agent B is an expert on question ''x'' and (2) agent A will accept a theory answering question ''x'' if agent B says so. +

B
Only a community can be a bearer of a scientific mosaic. +
C
If an accepted theory is taken as the final truth, it will always remain accepted; no new theory on the subject can ever be accepted. +
A modification should be accepted by default if there are no objections within a 90-day period following its publication. +
The verdict on a suggested modification should be decided by a communal vote that will follow the discussion period. +
A group that has a collective intentionality. +
A [[Community|community]] can [[Authority Delegation|delegate authority]] to another community. +
A community can consist of other communities. +
There is no such thing as a [[Community|community]]. +
There is such a thing as a [[Community|community]]. +
The ability of two elements to coexist in the same mosaic. +
At any moment of time, the elements of the scientific mosaic are compatible with each other. +
Criteria for determining whether two theories are ''compatible'' or ''incompatible.'' +
Criteria for determining whether two elements are compatible or incompatible. +
Criteria for determining whether two elements are compatible or incompatible. +
[[Compatibility]] is a subtype of [[Epistemic Stance]], i.e. epistemic stance is a supertype of compatibility. +
If a pair of elements satisfies the compatibility criteria employed at the time, it becomes compatible within the mosaic; if it does not, it is deemed incompatible; and if assessment is inconclusive, the pair can become compatible, incompatible, or its status may be unknown. +
At any moment of time, the elements of the scientific mosaic are compatible with each other. +
The ability of two elements to coexist in the same mosaic. +
The possible outcomes of theory assessment are ''satisfied'', ''not satisfied'', and ''inconclusive''. +
Theory assessment is an assessment of a proposed modification of the mosaic by the method employed at the time. +
The contextual appraisal theorem is a deductive consequence of the first law and the second law. +
A core question of a discipline is a question identified in the discipline’s delineating theory as definitive of the discipline. +
A core theory of a discipline is a theory presupposed by the discipline’s core questions. +
D
A method becomes employed only when it is deducible from some subset of other employed methods and accepted theories of the time. +
A statement of the meaning of a term. +
There is such a thing as a [[Definition|definition]]. +
[[Definition]] is a subtype of [[Theory]], i.e. theory is a supertype of definition. +
A statement of the meaning of a term. +
A second-order theory identifying the set of core questions of a discipline. +
Criteria for determining whether a theory is ''scientific'' or ''unscientific.'' +
Criteria for determining whether a theory is ''scientific'' or ''unscientific.'' +
Every theory that becomes accepted satisfies the demarcation criteria employed at the time of acceptance. +
A set of propositions that attempts to describe something. +
