M
Accept the ontology of epistemic elements with ''theories'', ''methods'', and ''questions'' as distinct epistemic elements. +
Accept that the epistemic stance that can be taken by an epistemic agent towards a question is ''question acceptance'' (the opposite is ''unacceptance''), where ''question acceptance'' is defined as "a question is said to be accepted if it is taken as a legitimate topic of inquiry". +
Accept the questions of ''the mechanism question acceptance'' and ''indicators of question acceptance'' as legitimate topics of scientonomic inquiry. +
Accept the new definitions of ''method'' as a set of criteria for theory evaluation and ''methodology'' as a normative discipline that formulates the rules which ought to be employed in theory assessment. +
Accept the new ontology of epistemic elements with, theories and questions are the two basic epistemic elements where and each theory is an attempt to answer a certain question, theories can be of three types – descriptive, normative, or definitions, and methods are a subtype of normative theory. +
Accept the definition of ''definition'' as a statement of the meaning of a term. +
Accept the definition of ''norm employment''. +
Accept the new definition of ''scientific mosaic'' as a set of all epistemic elements accepted and/or employed by the epistemic agent. +
Accept that epistemic stances of all types can be taken explicitly and/or implicitly and that epistemic elements of all types can be explicit and/or implicit. +
Accept the three-fold distinction between explicit, explicable-implicit, and inexplicable. +
Accept that propositional technological knowledge – i.e. technological questions, theories, and methods – can be part of a mosaic. +
Accept ''scientificity'' as a distinct epistemic stance that epistemic agents can take towards theories. Also accept several questions concerning the definition of scientificity and the applicability of scientificity to other epistemic elements, such as methods and questions, as legitimate topics of scientonomic inquiry. +
Accept the ''law of theory demarcation'' as a new scientonomic axiom. Also accept questions concerning indicators of scientificity as legitimate topics of scientonomic inquiry. +
Accept the definition of ''compatibility'', as the ability of two elements to coexist in the same mosaic. Also replace the zeroth law with the ''compatibility corollary''. +
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 in general. +
Accept the new definition of compatibility criteria as criteria for determining whether two ''elements'' are compatible or incompatible. +
Accept the new dynamic law of compatibility which specifies how exactly two elements become to be considered compatible or incompatible within a mosaic. +
Accept the new definition of theory acceptance which makes explicit that accepted theories are a subset of scientific theories. +
Accept the ''demarcation-acceptance synchronism'' theorem. +
Accept that the goal of peer-reviews in the scientonomic workflow is evaluation for ''pursuitworthiness'' rather than ''acceptability''. +
